To be simply a food allergy I would think she would be itching very badly to have that much hair loss. I really would expect her to have a hormonal disorder of some type. If she has been hypothyroid for a while this may be the reason her hair has never grown. Most dogs (and people) with hypothyroid are overweight, but I myself am hypothyroid and I weighed less than 100 pounds at (5'2") when diagnosed. I've been on the medication (very inexpensive) for almost 10 years and I actually gained weight after starting the medication and felt so much better, less tired, more tolerant to cold, could concentrate better and my hair improved considerably.
