Excerpt:

Compared with healthy controls, FM patients had significantly higher levels of glutamate+glutamine (Glx) (mean +/- SD: 10.71 +/- 0.50 arbitrary institutional units versus 9.89 +/- 1.04; P=0.049) and higher glutamate+glutamine/creatine (Glx/Cr) ratios (1.90 +/- 0.12 versus 1.72 +/- 0.23; P=0.034) in the posterior gyrus. Myo-inositol (Ins) levels of the right and left hippocampi were significantly lower in FM patients (4.49 +/- 0.74 versus 5.17 +/- 0.62; P=0.008 and 4.91 +/- 0.85 versus 6.09 +/- 0.78; P=0.004, respectively). In FM patients, there were also decreased myo-inositol/creatine (Ins/Cr) ratios in the left sensory-motor area (P=0.05) and the left hippocampus (P=0.002) and lower levels of choline (P=0.019) and N-acetyl aspartate + N-acetyl aspartyl glutamate (NAA+NAG) (P=0.034) in the left hippocampus. Significant correlations between depression, pain and global function and the posterior gyrus Glx levels and Glx/Cr ratios were observed.

Conclusions

Glx within the posterior gyrus could be a pathological factor in FM. Hippocampal dysfunction may be partially responsible for the depressive symptoms of FM. Additional studies with larger samples are required to confirm these preliminary data.

Linda’s comments:
 
I have tried over a dozen Fibers over my lifetime and Beyond Fiber is the best one I have found.  This is a Fiber that even healthy folks need to be taking.  There is no way you can eat enough Fiber in our daily diets, especially Fiber that does what the Beyond Fiber does.  Those Lymies with leaky gut or intestinal  problems will benefit from this great Fiber.  As we are detoxing the Beyond Fiber carries the toxins out of our body at a rapid pace. 
 
Many Lymies have used other Fibers, but when they switch to the Beyond Fiber they have better results.
I’m now on a full scoop, TWICE daily…..it also appears to be enhancing the Probiotic I take, which is very important for those with chronic illness.  This FIGHT program is a blessing to those of us who are dealing with Lyme and other chronic illness.
