Since it looked like I might have some MND in August I went gluten and glutamate free. While my EMG is consistent with ALS according to my neurologist I have no muscle weakness. My symptoms have improved over the past three months, going up and down- sometimes no fasciculations/twitches/cramping at all and lots of energy still. I believe now I have suffered from Celiac Disease for a while as I also had a severe dermatological condition when the neuromuscular symptoms first emerged in 2012. That horrible skin problem has also disappeared with the new diet. My neurologist did not pick up on my other symptoms during my appts. to date (and I don't have another appt. until April!) and I have had no tests for Celiac at all. I'm wondering if my gluten sensitivity is the cause of my bad EMG or whether this exists at the same time as ALS. I also dumped glutamate just to give myself a chance to mend. Anyone else have any related experiences to share?
