My stutter is almost gone! Long story short I start stuttering since age of 14, I'm 28 now and for half of my life I live in this nightmare of not being able to say my first name, I couldn't say the words which start with T, P and sometimes C without stutter and my name unfortunately my first name start with T. For 14 years I had also another health issues like, head pains daily, trouble with my stomach, heartburn, insomnia, depression, memory loss and so on. I visited of course any doctors from neurologists to you name it anything... All the tests came back normal, there was nothing wrong with me untill almost a year ago because I start to take the problems in my own hand I spent hundred of hours googling what disease I could have because there was clearly something wrong with me untill I found all my symptoms are related to celiac disease. What is celiac disease? Is a gluten intolerance + your immune system is attacking itself, which means if you eat gluten it will start to attack your stomach which in long term will destroy your villi where your vitamins and minerals are absorbed. Gluten is found in wheat and I was a heavy bread eater... very heavy also is found in many other grains(see on google). So! I said OK I will try to not eat gluten for 1 month to see how is going... after 1 month my depression was gone, memory loss has decreased, NO MORE STOMACH PAIN, my heart was beating normal for the first time in my last 14 years, any symptom was almost gone or improved including stutter. Today after almots a year of gluten free my stutter is 90% gone... **90%**!!! What you found on google about stutter? That is a neurological disease which can't be treated and there is no treatment for that right? Well here is what I find after hundred of hours spent on google and youtube hearing doctors speaking about health issues. You will start to have health issues because of 2 reasons, simple as that, you have a toxic envoirment in your body OR you have vitamins/minerals deficiencies. In my case was a deficiencies of vitamin b12 which is common for celiacs. Vitamin b12 which is actually a bacteria is playing an important role in neurological stuffs, I didn't found anything which confirm is related to stuttering but I start to eat more fish which contain b12 and I see improvments immediately after a few days that my stutter is improving not completly healed but improvments. So again, long story short, I diagnosticat myself with celiac disease I didn't test for it because I don't want to see doctors anymore in my life, I don't care about what test could say, all I can say that I cut the gluten of my diet, I let the stomach to heal itself to proper absorb the nutrients and **ALL** my symtoms are gone except the neurological symptoms like stuttering and sometimes memory loss. There is well know that neurological damage is may take years to recover but hey after almost a year I'm almost healed completly. SO, I don't say here anyone here has celiac disease but like I said there are 2 reasons why humans get health problems after all my research, toxicity or deficiencies and in my case was a deficiencies related problem. My stutter has significantly improve right after start to eating foods that contain b12, fish in my case. Feel free to ask my anything I tried to me as short as possible. EDIT: I also cut all the starch from my died like potatoes, beans and diary products like chese, milk because those things are related that still harm the stomach for celiacs. I basicly eat veggies and fruits, raw food and the only animal product is fish(for b12). I also do not eat procesed foods with artificial sweetners from corn or whatever, only foods which are made by nature or god whatever you wanna call it. EDIT 2: I also had a few days during my strict diet when I start crying because is feel good to feel normal, is feel good to can say your name without stuttering for example or not being depressed anymore. EDIT 3: I don't take any suppliments because personal I think is another arrogant attempt of humans to play with nature. There are b12 suppliments but I decided to eat b12 products, fish meat.
