@johnbishop Hi John, thank you, you have provided a great resource for finding foods as a probable cause for the neuropathy. Is there a link available to a website discussing which foods to eat or avoid once neuropathy or muscle weakness has been diagnosed no matter the cause? I will be interested in finding information focusing on a specific diet to help with neuropathy or muscle weakness symptoms. Which vitamin or mineral supplements could offer help? Thanks again. As always, you are a book of knowledge when it comes to the internet. Wishing you the best. Toni

Hi Toni @avmcbellar, The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a great list that talks about nutrition that you might find helpful.

Best Peripheral Neuropathy Diet | Foods To Avoid: https://www.foundationforpn.org/living-well/lifestyle/nutrition/

What started me on the journey to eating more healthy as far as helping my small fiber PN was a book by Dr. Terry Wahls - The Wahls Protocol which she writes about her research to help her symptoms of MS. She really does have an amazing story of going from a wheel chair to being able to ride her bike again. More information is available on her website - https://terrywahls.com/

I've also been interested in learning more about health gut bacteria and started making my own special yogurt with a special type of bacteria - Lactobacillis reuteri. I found the Best Yogurt Ever on @LeeAase's My Health Journey blog which also got me started on alternate fasting for health and weight loss. I've done so well on the weight loss - down from 244+ in January to 216 this morning which is one pound from my goal of 215. I'm now planning to reset my goal to 200 to give me some wiggle room 🙂 Check out Lee's Best Yogurt Ever blog entry here where you can also find an entry for my trip down health lane - https://social-media-university-global.org/my-health-journey/

One of my saved bookmarks is a video that someone shared with me awhile back - How The Gut Microbiota Affects Our Health with Dr. Erica & Dr. Justin Sonnenburg
