Chronic pain is a stress to the adrenal glands, though typically not the initial adrenal stressor. Adrenal FatigueĪdrenal fatigue is a result of the chronic stress whether real or perceived. You must ‘ fix the gut’ first in anyone with fibromyalgia or any chronic illness. Gluten can cause SIBO and leaky gut and SIBO and leaky gut can lead gluten and other food intolerances. When these bacteria get out of balance through use of antibiotics or a sugar-rich diet we can lose our ability to digest and absorb nutrients, particularly B12. There are more bacteria in us and on us then there are of our own cells. Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) and Leaky Gut The best way to measure magnesium is a red blood cell (RBC) magnesium level, which can be ordered by your conventional doctor and tested through any conventional lab. I have had several patients completely reverse their fibromyalgia symptoms with magnesium alone. Magnesium, vitamin D and B12 deficiency are the most common vitamin deficiencies I see in those who have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Getting my patient’s thyroid levels into an optimal range, typically alleviates their fatigue, brain fog, sleep disturbances and depression. It is vital that your doctor check six different blood markers to measure your thyroid gland’s function, and it’s imperative that your doctor use the optimal levels rather than the standard reference range when assessing and diagnosing thyroid disorders. More than half of the people with thyroid issues have no idea they have one and 90% of these have hypothyroidism, or an underactive thyroid gland. Want to learn more about what causes Candida Overgrowth and how to eliminate it? Check out our Candida Control Resource Bundle! Thyroid Virtually every one of my patients with fibromyalgia have had Candida overgrowth. However, when overproduced, candida breaks down the wall of the intestines and penetrates the bloodstream, releasing toxic byproducts into your body causing a host of unpleasant symptoms such as brain fog, fatigue, digestive issues, and pain. Candida OvergrowthĬandida is a fungus or yeast, and a very small amount of it lives in your intestines. The reason for this is that the majority symptoms of gluten intolerance are not digestive in nature but rather neurological such as pain, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbances, behavioral issues, fatigue and depression. Gluten has been liked to more than 55 diseases and is often called the ‘big masquerader’. 10 Root Causes Of Fibromyalgia Gluten Intolerance Below are the top ten root causes of fibromyalgia I see in my clinic. As a functional medicine physician, I have helped many patients recover from fibromyalgia. Not surprisingly, conventional medicine focuses only on managing symptoms through pain medications and antidepressants.įunctional medicine, on the other hand, looks to find the root cause of fibromyalgia and other chronic diseases, treating the problem at the root level in order to restore the patient to health. It is estimated that fibromyalgia affects nearly 6 million or 1 in 50 people, causing chronic pain, particularly muscle pain, fatigue, sleep disturbances, brain fog, or cognitive impairment, depression, and painful tender points throughout the body.
