Smile Not eating gluten saved me from a life of pain

Hi everyone ,
I was diagnosed with severe small fiber sensory Polyneuropathy
A couple of years ago after severe burning in every part of my body but my head.

I have been sick my whole life. But almost 4 years ago , I developed very strange problems. My bladder would never stop I had pain , urgency, pressure , and burning sensations. Much like a uti - but a negative test.
This continued and became so severe that doctors guessed that I had interstitial cystitis. A devastating disease of the bladder that has no cure.
However , when I ha a cystoscopy - I did not have signs of it.

They had me on medication for overactive bladder. It didn't work.
I learned to live with it , and unfortunately- it was only the beginning of y health problems. THE WORST was yet to come.

soon after , I developed burning down my thighs , in my lower back , and tingling in my hands and feet.
It only got worse. To make a veeeeryy long story short , I have been living in severe pain and agony with fatigue , hypoglycaemia , depression, mood swings , muscle and joint pain , stabbing sensations all over , numbness in my hands and feet , and the list goes on

I had been to countless doctors and specialists, pain doctors , neurologists , osteopaths , acupuncturists - everyone !

I was suicidal - completely devastated , highly medicated , and barely able to walk in the morning.
My life could not get any worse. I had no money , lost my friends , boyfriend , job , dropped out of college , and became an opiate addict.

My last shot at solving the mystery was trying a gluten free diet.

Within a week - my bladder returned to normal.
My brain fog went away and energy returned. I was elated.
Just days after that , my pain nearly vanished.
It has only been 13 days , and I feel better than I have in my entire life.

So please , PLEASE - if you haven't tried already , and have all of these health problems with no cause - try cutting out wheat , barley oats and rye.

It just might save your life.

Thank you )
