Fast forward to the past 10 years: my husband tells me white bread is bad for you, but you should eat wheat bread. It is more nutritious. Anyway, despite exercise and all, I gained weight and cannot lose it, not matter how much I run, etc. Could it be that my body cannot metabolize gluten and that is the reason for the weight gain and inability to lose it?

The reaction can be very severe.The Doctors of Root Cause Medical Clinichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989001572705413241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983428.post-45656494799167537002014-02-20T00:19:16.666-08:002014-02-20T00:19:16.666-08:00I too suffer from similar symptoms Greekgirl.

Moved in with people that aren't gluten free and it's been a constant downward spiral of worsening syptoms. I still eat gluten free, but that doesn't mean there isn't cross contamantion. And my syptoms seem to have worsened over time. <br />Is it normal to see an increase in sensitivity after going without?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983428.post-90126784734098879952013-07-12T16:01:28.440-07:002013-07-12T16:01:28.440-07:00I went on a healthy diet 4 months ago - juicig, mo...I went on a healthy diet 4 months ago - juicig, mostly raw diet fruits/vegetables, no dairy, no gluten(i have been gluten free for a year.) I have hx of endometriosis, postpartum thyroiditis, unable to lose weight from that. After being on the diet i felt amazing, no brain fog, losing weight finally, and NO endometriosis symptoms which were horrible before. After a couple months i started eating some "regular" foods again (processed)occasionally with no problem. I had some chips someone made that had brewers yeast in them and didnt feel good, but nothing major. A month later i started a protein supplement that had brewers yeast and had a bad reaction. Then i had nutritional yeast and thought i ws gonna die. Well ever since that i cant eat things i didnt react to just days before eating yeast - coconut milk icecream, mayonaisse, and now balsalmic vinegar. As time goes by im getting more and more sensitive to glutamate. I cant have ANYTHING even a little bit processed, brown rice syrup, no parm cheese either. I get muscle twitching, heart palpitations, chest burns, panic, cant speak what i mean to say and mild slurred speech, also affects motor function. What is happening to me? Is this bad? Body overreacting or finally kicking in? do i need to see a doctor, or just avoid eating out, or eating anything i dont make myself for the rest of my life? I like eating healthy and having no disease symptoms, but im almost wishing i never went on a diet. I never felt like this before the diet and I'd rather not live paranoid and isolated for the rest of my life. (Im ok w avoiding MSG, but everything even a little processed? I hate the attacks i get and they last for 2-3 days.<br />Sorry for long explanation, any help appreciated.

Therefore one should be very careful with L-glutamine! I have been told it only converts to glutamate if pt is anaerobic, i.e. high CO2 levels.<br /><br />Any thoughts on this. L-Glutamine can be so healing.

I tried to alter my diet with little help from docs. None really.I outed MSG--so I thought. Naturally occurring or not, it will be an issue I believe. After 3 years and feeling I would die by last year, I was wheelchair bound and barely functioning. I outed wheat after reading a book, "Figuring Out Fibromyalgia", by Dr. Genevra Liptan, M.D. who struggled herself. I was shocked. All of these years outing MSG to be eating wheat that lead to similar pain. To the person afraid (mrmonte) and anyone looking: I was 92 pounds, couldn't hold down foods, spasms all of the time, couldn't walk to the bathroom or sometimes roll. I am not fully well, but elimination of wheat and dairy are the most important. Anything eaten a lot or that causes aversion should be avoided also. Dairy, wheat, etc. By the way, my illnesses: FMS (fibro), Sjogren's syndrome, possible lyme disease, Cocksackie virus, a form of yellow fever, partial expression celiac disease, secondary adrenal insufficiency (pituitary is messed up). Pain meds made this worse. I am coming off the meds--2/3 off the Vicodin. Many other meds going. Chinese meds with explanation (Classical Chinese Medicine): I went to Dr. Heiner Fruehauf and Dr. Chris Metro. They found what no others could. Hai Shan Clinic is the clinic name in Corbett, OR. They can refer you, but Classical Pearls is what they use along with a machine to diagnose and pulse diagnosis. Nothing like what I experienced. All my docs (M.D.'s) agree with alternative medicine. I am better. Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983428.post-28901074027735801632012-08-12T03:10:15.097-07:002012-08-12T03:10:15.097-07:00This was unreal to me.

It depends on what type of nervous system issue you are discussing. I've seen patients suffering from depression for over 3 decades have it reversed with a gluten free diet. And then there are cases of Alzheimer's where, depending on how much damage has been done, reversal may not be possible.<br /><br />Feel free to write back with more details so that I can help you.<br /><br />Best,<br />Dr VikkiThe Doctors of Root Cause Medical Clinichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14989001572705413241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983428.post-40266004411394757952012-04-23T05:46:43.012-07:002012-04-23T05:46:43.012-07:00when is it late to reverse gluten nervous
