4. Makes complete sense to me. Mine disappeared as soon as they discovered what was giving me

Jul 2021

all my GI symptoms -- gluten -- and I went on a strict gluten-free diet.

Within a month, more than a decade of fibromyalgia disappeared along with the GI symptoms. No need for medications.

They know that Celiac and gluten-sensitivity are connected with a higher risk for a number of auto-immune diseases, and I've always thought fibromyalgia was one of them. It was like my whole body was fighting gluten.

So that was my problem, but I suspect that different people have different causes for their fibromyalgia, so the solution may be more complicated than finding a marker.
