Ugh, thought I´d got rid of it...I haven´t had any for a while, but suddenly it´s all come back. Most (if not all) my symptoms worsen when I stray from the FODMAP diet, and I did have a bad diet day a couple of days ago, but I wasn´t expecting a full ´lactic acid attack´. By this I don´t mean that I just have that heavy feeling in my limbs, as I always have that to varying degrees, but that I have the heavy feeling along with what feels like pinpricks in the muscles. I asked my doc and he said these are due to lactic acid (although apparently it´s actually the hydrogen ion that is released when lactic acid is produced that is to blame, but it sounds even crazier to blame hydrogen for all my problems!). This makes sense to me as I notice that these pinpricks increase in a particular muscle if I use it a lot.
Anyway, has anyone worked out a.) what exactly brings these ´attacks´ on, and b.) how to make them go away again?
