Another thing I think I've noticed that often joins them is a bloating feeling. My sfn has been diagnosed as idiopathic, but I'm just still searching for an answer.

So I guess ultimately I'm wondering if anyone might have any insight why things seem to be fine or pretty good for a while and then the feet start up and are always joined by the bladder and often the bloating issues. Could this possibly point to some sort of cause that has been overlooked?

Thanks for any thoughts on this. Been tested for celiac twice and it was negative. Doctors are suspicious of an autoimmune issue, but they are sticking with idiopathic currently.
