It sounds like you most definitely are a candidate for having leaky gut caused by candida. I too suffered from (and still do to some degree) twitches, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, joint pain, episodes of brain fog among a few others. I noticed a significant improvement in most of my symptoms when I started an anti-candida supplement and dietary plan. I used the McCombs Plan at www.mccombsplan.com but there are many out there that you can do. The reason your joint pain is responding to the fish oil is because oil is a natural anti-fungal (which candida is). Now the reason for the twitches is not directly because of the candida. The twitches are most likely the result of developing food sensitivities because of the leaky gut. The big hitters or most sensitive foods for me were gluten, dairy and soy. I had become sensitive to many things that are unavoidable as well such as salt, and a few vitamins. I'm currently seeing a practitioner who uses NAET to clear allergies and sensitivities and am having success so far. You'll have to stick to a special diet for a minimum of 6 months and load up on supplements to aid your body in repairing the damage to your intestine walls that candida has caused, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm personally going through this now, so feel free to ask me any questions you might have. I hope this helps... Good luck.

What is the difference between neurofeedback and biofeedback? Also, are these different from techniques like NMT or NAET? I'm still trying to learn the differences and similarities between the different methods of desensitization. I'm currently seeing a practitioner for NAET and have had 3 clearings. I've been trying to learn more about NMT to see if it might be a more efficient means of clearing up my sensitivities. Any additional info the forum members can provide would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you and your husband both potentially have leaky gut syndrome as well. I'm learning that it is the leading cause for auto-immune conditions like the adult onset of food sensitivities and intollerances along with the formation of new allergies (like to mold). I've been trying the McCombs Plan which is a 4 month plan. I'm just entering month 4 and have noticed dramatic improvements in my symptoms. I still have the twitching to a smaller degree, but the night time jerks, anxiety and brain fog symptoms that I was also experiencing have all bud disappeared. I'm also undergoing NAET to clear my food sensitivities. Apparently I racked them up on my old diet when I didn't know any better. I'm looking forward to one day being able to enjoy a beer and a pizza again. Unfortunately this stupid condition takes a long time to heal.

Oh it definitely results in jerks and motion. However minor they may be, they still scare the crap out of me. I don't recall ever having it manifest itself in vocal form, thank God. Thanks for the welcoming response. I'm looking forward to utilizing the info this forum and its members have to offer!

Perhaps it does work as well as advertised then.

I realize this thread is years old, but I recently learned about NMT and am intrigued. I've been using NAET, but it requires a session for nearly every food or environmental element that you are sensitive to. This can add up quickly. If there are any people with recent experience with NMT I'd be very curious to hear from you. Thank you.

Hello all. I found this forum by accident while doing a google search and it caught my attention. I've had a problem with random muscular twitches as I call them for around 10 months now. I was diagnosed by a neurologist as having something called Benign Fasculation Syndrome (BFS). I'm wondering if these 'tics' you are all describing are the same as my twitches. I have to say when I first started experiencing them I didn't really know what to call them. Basically every few minutes or sometimes seconds, a random muscle in my body will contract for a split second. Its usually not enough for anyone watching me would take notice of. Is this what you all mean by 'tics'? In the 10 months that I've been having the problem, I found that certain foods made the twitching worse. Gluten was my worst offender. It not only makes me twitch much more dramatically and with greater frequency, but it also caused me to have elevated anxiety. Dairy, soy and caffiene were other things that I found I need to avoid. Despite my avoiding foods I have found I have a sensitivity to, I still twitch though. I believe the food sensitivities were brought about by having too much candida in my system which caused me to develop 'Leaky Gut Syndrome'. Anyway, I've been on a strict detoxification diet for almost 4 months now and I've even been going to a homeopath who has been treating my individual food sensitivities through a technique called NAET. The twitching remains however. I'm much much better than I was when I didn't know to avoid certain foods, but as I'm making headway in my treatment, I was hoping to see the twitching go away. So far it isn't. I'm going to stick with it and remain hopeful, but I'm also on a constant quest for more information. This forum looks like a good source for more info, especially if you are having the same symptoms as me, the tics. I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say. Thank you in advance.
