Works for post-infectious syndrome!
"Update 8 june. I am on my third bottle, i subscribed. This product is a life saver for me, i can eat pasta, drink some milk... not excessive, but if i go out with friends i am not moping around anymore, and i can enjoy a normal dinner.
May: I received no compensation for this review (how do people do that, I was not offered any freebies on amazon yet....) but I digress. Two years ago I was diagnosed with post-infectious syndrome, which can mean just about anything. It manifested itself as extreme exhaustion, food intolerances, muscle twitching, swollen lymph nodes, peripheral neuropathy, and just a generally miserable state all of a sudden. I had all tests known to mankind, to include CT scans and MRIs to rule out MS and other serious ailments. I tried (and keep trying) anything that I think might help. I am definitely on an ascending curve and feeling a lot better than when it all started, but I can trigger symptoms with food. I have an app which tells me the histamine content of foods, I tried acupuncture (it worked pretty well but I moved and can’t find a local practitioner), alpha lipoic acid for the neuropathy (works ok), B complex (no difference or made it worse) magnesium salt baths (maybe relaxing but that’s about it), astragalus, various tinctures and herbs (I guess mild benefit), cut all fermented foods, alcohol, coffee, and gluten (definite improvement), an acupressure mat (if you can stand the pain...) quercetin (hard to tell if it helped, so I guess not), infrared sauna (made it worse), anti-allergy and anti-histamine drops (helped and then did not help anymore)... which brings me to the similase GFCF. I am still not clear whether GFCF means the product is gluten and casein free, or whether it helps with gluten/casein free diets. I got it on 22 April, today is 5 May. Been taking two pills before every meal, so about three times/ day. I waited to make sure I’m not deluding myself, sometimes you get frantic hoping for a magic pill. They definitely work, I can eat a greater variety of foods and I don’t have the miserable symptoms I’d get after some meals (pain, extreme exhaustion, bad gut issues, itchiness, muscle twitches, etc). I’m still trying to eat reasonably healthy but I had oysters (because yes, as soon as I feel a little better what do I do? I go get OYSTERS, please don’t judge...) so anyway, I still have some residual numbness (need to order more ALA) but very mild, and my energy is way better. I hope you find this helpful and I hope the product helps you the way it helps me."
