What Causes Severe Hair Fall In An Elderly Person?

Hello, In the last 3-4 weeks, I have begun to loose my hair significantly. I am 61 and have always had thick hair, but this is beginning to alarm me. for about the same amount of time, I have had diahrrea that I cannot control. I haven t had a normal bowel movement for about that amount of time. Can these 2 symptoms be related?
