Ways To Speed Up Recovery From Brain Fog?


ForestAndTrees

Recommended Posts

ForestAndTrees Newbie

Hi everyone,

 

I've read a lot of the posts related to brain fog, and have found a lot of great info.  However, I haven't found much related to ways in which to speed up recovery from it.  I've listed below what I found: do you know additional ways?

 

Here's what I've found in the other posts:

- Get nutrient levels checked, especially: vitamins B and D, calcium, magnesium.  Take supplements as needed.

- Get seratonin and neurotransmitter levels checked

- Take probiotics

- Ensure there's absolutely no gluten cross-contamination

 

Here are things I've picked up or figured out myself:

- Identify foods other than gluten which set off the "brain fog" response

- Identify foods labelled "gluten-free" which have ingredients you know to be ok for you, but which set off a reaction anyway (my guess is this is due to manufacturing processes - Mary's Gone Crackers is one food which fits this criteria for me).

 

Anything else?  I've been particularly looking for programs designed to aid memory recovery and general brain function recovery from a temporary "cognitive decline", but haven't found anything good yet.  That said, I haven't been able to fandangle my way into a neurologist's office to ask an expert, either.

 

Does anyone know of differences in recommended brain fog recovery aids for non-celiac gluten sensitivity versus celiac disease?

Thank you!!

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      No they just said stop all supplements two weeks before.Its so frustrating im not at all happy with my "care team",because im not being seen for my sibo infact my appointment was dropped, I even asked about it and they said Dr prescribed you meds and I stated yes but I again had a reaction.I feel bothersome. I need to find another gi but its useless because its going to be same thing around here.i just feel lost and in tbe medical file they are writing what ever and its really not ok. In fact i dont want to go unless they record the conversation. Yes its that bad.im only having  care and concern for my ms whose Not part of the same health association that pcp and gi are with.I will have to look into changing to another. Mayo clinic is great but its the celiac, sibo, ect and all related issues that need addressed but current " careteam says call when needed. No plans of scheduled dates

      @science enthusiast Christi, It could be Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).  Lots of people with Celiac develop it, especially if they eat a high carbohydrate diet.   Colonic bacteria crawl into the small intestine and ferment the excess carbohydrates and prebiotic fibers which causes lots of gas.   I changed my diet to the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP), a Paleo diet, and supplemented with a B Complex and Benfotiamine, a form of Thiamine that helps heal the intestines and has antibacterial properties.  I had improvement within a few days.  The AIP diet starves out the carbohydrate loving SIBO bacteria and allows more beneficial bacteria a chance to repopulate. Hope this helps.

      Yes, a rule I usually follow. Pict Sweet was always known to be gluten-free and after many years of use with no problems, it's easy to forget to look.

      "I am quite convinced this gluten is coming from exposure whilst eating out.  Small levels, that don't make me violently sick, but might give me a mild stomach upset." cristiana, are you saying this is your actual experience or are you speculating here?

      I have tried many Vit D. Solgad is one that did not cause any problems. I take 5000IU. Most of their vitamins are gluten-free certified but this is not.  They can be purchased direct from Solgar or Amazon.
