Hi Kev,

Yep, stress exacerbates just about everything, and in the long run it's even worse.

I would urge you to keep up with supplements that feed/support your nerves, even if you can't discern any immediate benefit. It can't hurt, and just may help prevent things from getting worse than they are.

I don't know if gluten was a factor or not, but if the diet improved things - even for a while - it may suggest that you have other dietary triggers that weren't present while you were on the diet. If you get any sudden/temporary "flares" of symptoms, I'd think back to what you've eaten in the recent past (day or so) that might be a trigger/factor, so you can avoid that in the future.

Hang in there and keep reading/learning about this stuff. I'm learning all the time and finding some slight improvement in small incremental steps.

Good plan.
