Please let us know how you're doing and whether you're having success "healing."

haven't been right since I tore up my insides with iron supplements when my ferritin level dropped to 8. I had horrendous neurological symptoms when my gut felt like I had burning kerosene in it, but those did subside after a few weeks. The neuropathy set in about two months later, though. No clue if it's related or not, but I've been taking a probiotic ever since and added Candida Support when Mrs. D mentioned it.

Will do.

I always associated your neuropathy with diabetes or pre-diabetes or something along these lines, but it would seem there is another contender for the cause of your SFN.

If I may ask, which probiotic do you use? I've ordered a custom blend of powder from Custom Probiotics but haven't used it yet. I'll likely give it a try in a few weeks after I try the antibiotic.

I actually don't think the cause of my neuropathy is related to glucose issues. I'm sure the glucose spikes weren't helping at all, and if any good has come from this "adventure," it's that I may have staved off an eventual diabetes diagnosis. I think my cause is hormonal, spinal or gut-related. I had issues in all three areas right before onset.

I take this probiotic:

Amazon.com: Jarrow Formulas Jarro-Dophilus EPS, Supports Intestinal Function and Health, 12 Veggie Capsules: Health & Personal Care

I had contemplated taking the uBiome test or one like it, but they seem to still be a little questionable result-wise. I haven't looked into them lately, though.

I see. Thinking back, I've heard you say things along those lines, at least I seem to remember discussions about hormonal and gut issues. Are you still searching for the cause? It's interesting that there's been no progression.

Looks like an pretty decent set of bacterial strains. Some of them are in the custom one I ordered. Do you find you get some benefit from it?

I've even considered FMT, so I'd be lying if I said the uBiome test doesn't interest me. Thanks for mentioning it. I'd never heard of it. What do you find questionable about it. I looked at it quickly, and I wasn't sure what the results will reveal other than note the strains (at least some of them?) in a person's gut. I wonder if there are better tests. I had heard that such tests, or to be more precise tests done through labs are upwards of $400-500. Perhaps those are different tests. I'm going to look into this some more. Thank you again for bringing it to my attention.

The only thing I can find that might be causing my whole body SFN is Prediabetes. How many here have Prediabetes or Diabetes?
