i fully support the theory that leaky gut syndrome can be linked to auto immune diseases. But i didnt think fibro was auto immune?

Fibromyalgia seems to be common in (C)PTSD patients and those on the autism spectrum. i happen to have all 3. (C)PTSD can affect the immune system.

When i went off gluten and dairy i got fibromyalgia along with the CPTSD being another risk factor. Drug withdrawal from heroin is 1 risk factor for developing fibromyalgia. To some people on the autism spectrum gluten and dairy can behave like heroin which in my case caused the fibro. i rarely had pain before i went off gluten and dairy.

i then discovered a magnesium, vitamin D and b12 deficiency which i treat with supplements. i can halve my tramadol when i take magnesium and vitamin C. im also taking fish oils.

i was a co moderator on a gluten and dairy free recipe forum for a while.

Hiya, Yes i have heard of this and like most of the other scientific theorys going around it could be the cause or just another syndrome. the pinterest sites are full of them. :)

The Geeks all seem to have their own theory and i guess one of them could be right.

Dont do your head in trying to make sense of them all, been there done that. Now i just read it and then squirrel it away on my Pinterest site in case it comes in useful one day. :P

Oh and dont give in because of what i have said. The more that you read the more that you learn to control the symptoms.

Keep posting, I may be wrong. :O
