Welcome Chicosalt, but I'm sorry you find yourself here.

My flares are not daily, but usually a day or a sequence of two or three days maybe once a month. My symptoms intensify across the board for no discernible reason.

Congrats on making your dietary changes. I've not gone the gluten-free route, although my diet is mostly gluten-free on a daily basis anyway.

When I first developed SFN back in late 2013, I was on a high carb diet, but what I would consider have considered "healthy" carbs...lots of whole grains. Early on, my symptoms were really quite awful. I couldn't sleep, and when I didn't feel like I was on fire, I felt like I was plugged into an electrical socket. Something, be it dietary changes (going low carb), or the supplements, or HRT, or some natural waning of the symptoms, caused me to improve in 2015, and I've stayed improved. Maybe it was a combination of things, but whatever, I'm afraid to stray from my regimen much.

That being said, my carb consumption has gone up as I know what types of carbs to avoid to avoid blood sugar spikes (grains and sugar mostly). I've re-introduced legumes in reasonable quantity, and no longer boycott healthy higher carb vegetables like carrots.

Staying hydrated and keeping my electrolytes in balance seems key for me. One of my most problematic symptoms is horrendous cramping in my feet and lower legs when I let things get out of whack.
