O+ hereThere is a book called 'Eat Right For Your Blood Type' that goes into the dietary predispositions of people with the different blood types. It may play somewhat of a role because my twitching was linked to dietary influences. I don't think there is a one size fits all cause for BFS to...

I am still symptom free of BFS after all these years. I still attribute to my experience with BFS to gut issues. Once I addressed my diet and treated for Leaky Gut Syndrome I responded very well and began recovering. It took many months to fully heal but I have been doing great. I still stop...

It is sad and unfortunate that this site is no longer accepting new members due to a lack of admin support. I was checking into the site after being gone for quite some time though and noticed something very interesting. Without the constant influx of new and scared people it is really...

Celiac is about as extreme as a gluten intolerance can get, but you can be gluten intolerant without having Celiac. I had gluten issues but do not have Celiac, and it was a contributing factor to my BFS symptoms. Find more info and studies on non-Celiac gluten intolerance referenced here:

43RichyThe43rd!Long time no talk. I hope that all is well with you. I think this is sage advice but I would expand it from just religion to spirituality. When I use the word 'spirituality' I am simply referring to the relationship one has with the greater non-physical aspects of themselves...

Possibly. Antibiotics kill bacteria in the body and they don't discriminate good bacteria from bad bacteria. The digestive tract has an ecosystem of good bacteria and yeast. The good bacteria is good because it breaks down the foods we eat allowing us to absorb the nutrients from our food...

You actually may just need new shoes. If your shoes are old and worn unevenly (and it doesn't have to be by much) it will throw off your gait (manner of walking). Even if your shoes appear to be fairly evenly worn the sole material breaks down and compresses unevenly. We really need new shoes...

Mainstream medicine has a lot of catching up to do. In the alternative/holistic medicine circles leaky gut has been understood for quite some time now. A good supplement to take is L-Glutamate, which is helpful in restoring and healing the intestine walls where the lining has been damaged to...

My money is on leaky gut. That's what I had and treating for it cleared up most of my issues.

I had IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) for years before BFS. It would flare up usually when I was stressed. During the beginning of my developing BFS it was in full swing and probably the worst it had ever been. When I later was treated for BFS (by treating for Leaky Gut) I found that the BFS...

You can find scientific studies and papers that contradict each other on a great variety of controversial topics. Try and find a group of scientists from different organizations to agree on climate change and what causes it. I know for a fact that if I eat gluten by accident I feel like crap...

That is pretty cool that your neurologist is aware of the gut connection to neurological issues. I found that a rotational diet helped me, where I would keep a food journal and would not repeat a food for 72 hours. This allowed me to isolate trigger foods a lot easier. I also had to eat a...

Here's an article about a doctor who was disabled with MS and completely reversed her condition through diet modification. I thought I'd share here.

My acupuncturist said that he is usually able to clear up a case of Shingles in a 2 or 3 visits. Pick the right tool for the right job and you usually save yourself a lot of pain and frustration. Some sources say that Shingles has been getting more prevalent in correlation with the chickenpox...

"All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." — Arthur Schopenhauer, German philosopher (1788 – 1860)
