    Whats Everyones Blood Type?

    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...

    Seeking Reassurances From Seniors

    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...

    Site Declining without Inflows

    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...

    Pending Celiac Diagnosis: Biopsy Results

    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:

    Helpful Advice to New Members

    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...

    Is Bactrim Causing Increased Pain?

    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...

    Persistent Glute Muscle Ache

    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...

    Diarrhea After Quitting Cymbalta

    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...

    Gluten-Free Industrys Popularity

    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...

    Alternative Medicine Proven Right Again

    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...

    Shingles and BFS - A Link?

    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...

    Chances of Excitotoxicity with BFS

    I honestly have not tried gluten free beer yet. I was a home brewer and don't really want to go there. Wine of course is gluten free along with just about any other kind of alcoholic beverage. :)

    Chances of Excitotoxicity with BFS

    Going gluten free has never been easier than it is today. Millions are doing it and are living perfectly happy and normal lives. I would recommend everyone with neurological symptoms like BFS at least try going gluten free for an extended period of time to see how they feel. It is not a magic...

    Reducing EMF Exposure Risk?

    I will chime in here. I do believe that 'dirty electricity' does contribute to chronic health conditions but I do not believe it is solely responsible for conditions such as BFS. The new smart meters that electric utility companies have been installing on people's homes for example have been...

    Coping with Anxiety: Natural Antidepressants?

    For the record I do agree with RainCat's comment above. I believe attitude and mindset are more than half the battle with anxiety. That should always be included in lifestyle changes like diet. Regarding the level of importance I place on being gluten free, I stay as true to the free part as...
