There’s a reason you’re a nervous child, etc. and a Functional Medicine MD can get to the heart of the problem. A PCP will only treat the symptoms, so you will forever have the problem if you don’t get to its source!
http://www.thedr.com can help you too! Something is either irritating the gut lining and/or you have methylation (detox) issues genetically speaking. MTHFR…nutritional deficiencies can cause problems too with the immune system. Gluten and GMO’s are a big problem for most people..as most of us are from Northern European dissent. The HLA DQ2 or DQ8 genes. I have the HLA DQ2 gene. I have suffered with anxiety and depression most of my life and its due to missing the glutathione gene. So I ate a nutritionally devoid diet growing up…prepackaged foods, TV dinners…etc. etc. this affected my methylation pathways. Making sure that you take multivitamins with Methylcobalamin and Methyltetrahydrofolate has helped me tremendously as well as minerals. I wish that I had never been born in the late 50’s because it was back then that food manufacturers, started making things for people to eat in modern society, that were quick and easy for people. Also, Monsanto came on board. Developing short cuts to produce wheat in a much shorter time frame..GMO..genetically modifying it. We can’t digest this….plus glyphosates (round up) is found in our food. It messes with the gut micro biome!
