Now days more and more neurologist know about it (but defintely not all). If your getting checked for ALS or your neurologist think its unlikely, then ask about BFS
Hello, 31 year old male here. I was diagnosed with BFS and it turned out I actually had a food sensitivity that was causing the neurological symptoms, as crazy as that sounds. See my in depth post in the allergy section of this forum for my detailed story and experience. The food sensitivity was actually caused by another condition which is treatable. Others who are diagnosed with BFS, may have what I have. It wasn't easy finding answers.
