I haven't been right since I tore up my gut taking iron supplements three months before the neuropathy hit. It was at the height of my problems then, that I had a multi-week-long problem with horrible pressure-like symptoms in my head. It wasn't pain, but just pressure and bad brain fog. Have always wondered if that played a role. I had that happen once before in my mid 20s.
I saw this news come out a few months ago, but haven't heard more about it. It really makes me ponder the possibilities. I started having gut problems in college, and it's really the only long-standing medical issue I've had until the neuropathy.

I've been taking a Jarrow probiotic once day. Maybe I should try stepping it up.

I have had intermittent digestive issues over the years and I've tried different combinations of probiotics. I never saw a difference. The issues had been on and off and then I was struck with the polyneuropathy. I personally never found probiotics to help much for my gut issue symptoms and that hasn't changed. I tried taking multiple strains on and off. I don't know if it's a coincidence or that this particular strain is helping me cope with my toxicity. I didn't do the 23andme test because I don't feel that there is a point. I have always been aware of my sensitivity to chemicals, foods, smells, etc., even when I was strong and healthy. I'm sure I have a problem coping with toxins and so do my kids. Even with photos and diagnosis of all three of us with a neurovascular problem, no doctor can help- so I'm on my own with this anyway.... like most of you.
