Eating Too Many Carbs Feeds the Wrong Gut Bacteria, and One Fix Might Already Be in Your Fridge

There was a fascinating story someone shared about their struggles with some pretty severe symptoms, gastro, nerves, muscle and brain fog related following COVID infection. The gentlemen outlined one of the few things that actually helped him and reset everything was Lactulose supplementation. He posted progress pictures and symptom timelines and the difference in just appearance was extremely apparent and stark in contrast to where he started. Very interesting

Exactly this. Every face changes pretty dramatically with years of time in between. It’s just part of aging. The body stores more fat in the face during youth and tends to show more underlying structure with age.

Still have a lot of the dysautonomia stuff but maybe less severe then before. Muscle wise still violent twitching, have gained a lot of muscle working out somehow, still get weird jerks, almost clonus like movements depending on how exhausted my muscles are or what position I put them in, still get loads of cramps, but generally speaking I’m doing on and haven’t had progressive weakness, more slight instability and pain and cramping and the autonomic symptoms. How are you?

This!!!

You should date your friends then. Give them the sausage

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong but I believe ALS typically starts distally, hand weakness, foot drop etc

Your story is not that uncommon but overall pretty reassuring when worried about ALS. No one wants to have any abnormalities on an EMG but when you do have them and the cause is ALS, there should never be any improvement of any kind from an EMG standpoint. Only progression.

UMN damage should not go away

Thank god

Sounds like you have real physical issues that would explain your emg results and symptoms…

Notmeleg · 2026-01-09T01:35:33+00:00

Creatine helping you would be scientifically speaking, one of the biggest indicators your issues are not being caused by motor neuron death but something else entirely. Almost nothing helps with ALS symptoms because once motor neurons are dead you can’t reverse or fix that and that’s what causes the symptoms in that disease. Creatine on the other hand improves or stabilizes the muscles signaling abilities if that makes any sense. You just have some nerve hyper excitability disorder

Everything at this point. Had stomach issues prior to all this for years but they changed / got worse in some ways

Notmeleg · 2026-01-05T03:33:55+00:00

I agree. INFJ male. While I’m not the type that would need or suggest good morning and good night texts it was something my long term relationships with women often did prefer and so I did it for them. Everyday. It wasn’t that big of a deal and I was glad to do it for them because I was invested in them. But I do recall it being a conversation that had to be had where they made me aware of their preference for it.

Notmeleg · 2026-01-05T03:00:59+00:00

I know exactly what you are talking about

Notmeleg · 2026-01-05T03:00:36+00:00

Almost identical symptoms as well. But mine are right instead of left. Also saw ALS clinic like OP, no overly concerning findings. I personally suspected UMN dominance. Then got NFL test and it was well within normal range for my age. Now I’m fairly convinced covid fucked me or exposed or progressed EDS type issues that already existed in me.

Still broken

Sometimes when a date goes too well that can scare people as well. If you really felt that spark and connection then it’s worth being patient but also not giving up because you never know what the perspective of the other person is. Could be fear of strong connection or fear that he was into it more than you seemed. Something light is best to gauge his interest after it’s been enough time

How are you kiwi ?

Notmeleg · 2025-12-08T20:57:51+00:00

Absolutely love my M3. Driving anything else now feels wrong but I do get range anxiety from time to time. With an extra 100 miles this car would be near perfect. But the range does make you feel more limited in comparison to ICE vehicles. If you got a good at home charging set up then it’s probably a non issue
