I have a friend in Missouri that was having similar “attacks” and was diagnosed AGS. I reached out to him yesterday with some questions. Main thing he said is that it affects everyone differently. I was bitten by a tick early last year after hiking at Busiek State Park in SW Missouri. I remember it because while ticks will crawl on me, they don’t normally bite me (I chalk this up to having taken a garlic supplement for decades), this one dug in deep.
I’d noticed that the last couple of times that we had beef, I was miserable with repeated gastro attacks that feel like what I would imagine a heart attack feels like (trapped gas). And they only go away when I can make myself burp. Also brain fog and extreme fatigue. My friend back home suggested I just have chicken or fish with veggies and see how I feel. So, the last couple days, that’s what I’ve done and I’ve felt great. As far as dairy goes, I’ve always had a slight intolerance to certain dairy products so, I’m mindful of that.
I hate doctors. I never go. So, I want to avoid a bunch of other tests (gallbladder, allergy, etc.) if I can and ask up front for a AGS test. If that’s NOT it, I’m open to other tests, of course. As far as gluten goes, I’m still going to avoid it even IF it’s not the culprit because it’s just not good for us and it’s fairly easy to avoid.
in it. I have aged 10 years since those shots.
Think that the fact it converts to sugars can/is a major issue. Heredity probably plays an important factor as well. GMOs and all the other shit/pesticides that are put in our foods are far worse. Have you tried any of the "ancient" grains? Plenty of alternative flours available now day is a plus!
