    Avoiding Gluten

    Just wanted to see if anyone else has found gluten to bea trigger for flares ? A few years ago I went through a three month food trial, where I cut out wheat, dairy, etc., then reintroduced one at a time. I was quite surprised how much better I began to feel when I dropped wheat from my diet...

    Symptom Relief with Diet?

    Fibromyalgia and gastrointestinal symptoms

    My cousin was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 3 years ago, whilst I developed trimethylaminuria (TMAU) symptoms. I was living with her parents when my symptoms occurred. Since her mother doesn't have a modern knowledge at preserving food, I have found something common in between us -...
