Would love some input on what might be going on from the autoimmune hive mind!
I have been having tiny muscle twitches on and off all over my body, worsening for months. Constant bloating, sometimes light headedness, often constipation. Magnesium makes twitching, bloating, and anxiety much worse. Potassium plus sodium seems to help temporarily but also throws my system off in other ways, though seems to help me tolerate magnesium better. The latest new symptom is angular cheilitis (sores patches on lips/sides of mouth) which seems to surface especially when potassium feels low.
My naturopath is wondering about trace minerals and methylation; I'm also getting aldosterone tested, but that will take another week or so. Another possible contributor might be high oxalates. I have SIBO, and I know my nutrient absorption could be fairly impaired.
Any ideas about what could be going on, and equally importantly, what to try first? I've been on a nearly grain free, low histamine diet for a long time.
Thanks much for any input.
