Changing the Gut Microflora in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Not having the right bacteria was one problem; removing the bad bacteria that took their place was another My favorite conference paper is Faecal Microbial Growth Inhibition in Chronic Fatigue/Pain Patients because it identifies both undergrowth and overgrowth in a set of chronic fatigue syndrome patients. I made a major assumption and assumed that it reflected my situation with CFS and proceeded logically to correct the imbalance.

Could Your Aches & Pains be Caused/Accelerated by "Glue" in Your Gut?
After working with hundreds of clients with inflammatory disorders specifically fibromyalgia, Scleroderma, arthritis, IBS, Crohn’s, etc., to name a few, I’m amazed they are not better informed as to the health-depleting consequences of eating wheat/gluten products. I’ve written extensively about the inflammation-inducing affects of consuming foods in the nightshade genre, but gluten can cause just as many aches and pains from the inflammation they induce.

[dog] When I got sick in 2005 my doctor insisted was there was nothing wrong with me. Seeking a second, third, fourth and fifth opinion didn't change my non-diagnosis, despite my worsening health. After a ridiculous breakdown I was finally given two diagnoses of exclusion, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia. Little good it did, however, because I was told there was no way to treat those illnesses. Once again I was sent home with a patronizing pat on the head, except for this time it included the terrible advice to learn to live with something that was in the process of ripping my life apart. I guess it was progress, but it sure didn't feel like it.

According to Bing Weather, in my area there should be sunny periods today, but more rain tomorrow. Both remain to be seen!
Whatever the weather, I hope you will find some way to feeling less pain, even if not being painless.
Best of wishes to all

N.B. I would like to point out to you that the information in my FMS eNews blog is passed on to you mainly from other sources.
Links are given to the original articles. I take no responsibility for their accuracy but freely give them publicity if I think they might be of interest to my readership. Sites I refer you to are for information only. They might conflict in their opinions, they might not even be medically sound, but I merely offer them for you to peruse and make your own judgements, accept or reject as you will. Only by reading widely can we get an overall picture of fibromyalgia syndrome and how we can deal with its symptoms, learn to cope with them and still have a life. Any advice or recommendation of a medical or legal nature should always be discussed with a qualified professional.
I also include various awareness items, benefits issues, as well as general health considerations. Anyone wishing to reproduce any of the included items in printed form should seek permission from the originators.
Wordz for the Week are from ‘Wordz for the Day’ by Donnie Kuhn, Sr. who died in May 2011.
This eNews is my personal offering to fibromyalgia sufferers and their carers and is not related to any other organisation or charity.
If you don’t already get reminders when each new FMS eNews is posted, please send an email to fmsstella@gmail.com and you will be added to the emailing list.
