I've added Almonds to my list...
A visit to a trichologist would be able to tell you if the base of the hair shaft is damaged in some way due to whatever cause (it should, apparently, look like a spring onion if it is healthy) but the iron intake is a good suggestion and to strengthen your hair, eat one cube of jelly a day and take a very strong Vit B + C (need that for the B to be absorbed properly). Hair takes around 3 months to recover so no quick fix sadly. I had the same problem in my 20s and the advice given above came from a trichologist and my hair returned to normal after a few months. When I get stressed now and my hair starts falling out, out comes the jelly and vit bottles and so far, it has corrected it.
Good luck Pats and I hope everything returns to normal quickly
