this is interesting, I had ADD when i was younger, and dyslexia, and many of the other symptoms you talk about. I have noticed that when i go to the pub and drink beer (lager, bitter or anything made with grains) I become very tired and lethargic (more so than usual) but when i drink alcoholic cyder of equal strength I am quite energetic in comparison. I thought this may be because cyder has a lot of sugar but the gluten thing may be the cause.

@blahblahfeckinblah Hi! If you react to some alcohol, then you probably have food sensitivities. You should try going gluten free for at least 2 weeks. I know people who have, and then their energy increases and brain function gets better. It's worth a try!

Thanks, what a beautiful statement. you described it so well, i am 52, had brain fog all my life, just thought it was the way i was, slow dumb forgetful. just the last couple weeks have quit gluten and grains except rice, seems to be making a difference but too soon to tell. no idea what sort of a recovery to expect. only a few times in my i have felt like my brain started functioning the way it was meant to. i always thought the problem was in my brains software, psychology didnt work.

@7digitalSunday Hi! That's great that you are gluten free and noticing a difference! I noticed immediate results when 1st going g/f, but it took a good 6months to notice more results. Going dairy free helped my brain function too. I've had food allergy test and heavy metal test. Both came back bad. I don't believe gluten was 100% the cause, but it was a big problem that was greatly hindering proper brain function. Exercise helps too. Good luck on your journey towards a clear mind!

OMG thank God I found this channel. I have lupus and have been battling brain fog/cognitive dysfunction for 3 1/2 years now. I definitely feel out of touch with reality, like my brain is in a dark fog and I have problems doing so many things! Reading - I can say the words but can't put the sentence together. I would read the first part of the sentence over and over again and by the time I made it to the end of the sentence, I couldn't tell you what the beginning said. I, too have a hard focusing

@beautiijunkii Hi! I'm glad you found my channel too!:) So sorry to hear you have lupus, along with the awful brain fog. It's so nice to find others who really understand the depth of "brain fog". It's really hard to describe it to your average person because, there is just so many different ways it impacts our brain. Thanks for commenting! Hope you have a great day!

@7digitalSunday good place to start but why do other people eat what ever they want and not get brainfog ? its obvious there is much more to it than nutrition. nutrition will help but it wont cure. you got to get to the root of the problem. most likely thyroid a thyroid not being trested properly. i am for one on a heavy dose of thyroid and thats the only thing that really worked well. 300 mg of t4.

Potsy, what other tests have you had done, like for thyroid, or autoimmune stuff, food allergy.

i just started working with a Doctor who is an MD and also an ND (naturopathic doctor). looking at minerals and metals that could be out of norm. that is do you feel gluten was the total cause of your brain fog? myself, i even notice that a cellphone up to my head will cause brain fog.. i usually use a wired headset. do you find exercise to help clear up the fog?

[7digitalSunday]

@RPJunky Brainfog results from physical stuff like gluten sensitivity, other toxicity in the body like heavy metals or certain excess minerals in the body, or parasites such as candida, other food allergys, thyroid problems (see videos by on utube by dr david clark) , sugar is a big culprit ( if u crave sweets try reaching for a piece of fruit) so if one thing in the body is out of balance then that can cause other things to go out of balance, i think the place to start is nutrition.

has anyone tried neurofeedback ? its suppose to do wonders for brain fog. please do all check it out very important. neurofeedback.

and holding conversations. My mind wanders off and I'll be thinking a million things and couldn't tell you one of them because my mind races so much and my thoughts are so disorganized. I constantly have to use my gps because I'll go places and get loss or forget how to get home. Even if I've been there before. I have gaps in my memory... I could go on and on, but I'm glad I found your channel. Finally someone who can relate to me and knows that I'm not faking and I can't just snap out of it!
