20/20 segment

[Guest guest]

so sorry, Mike,I do capitalize when formally writing something, but I find it interferes with the speed of my typing, which I like to maximize.  I've only gotten objections from a very few people over the years.  Don't get me started on poor grammar, punctuation (those extraneous apostrophes...grrr....), spelling, pronunciation, etc.  I realize that using capitals helps people who read quickly to identify proper nouns.

I am currently on the GAPS diet. It is definitely a challenge. I had MRSA last spring / summer & the amount of antibiotics I was on completely tore my intestines up, my immune system included. I have noticed my body physically is much better since starting but as far as misophonia goes, nothing has changed.Sent from my iPhone

I doubt that I will be trying this particular product (allergy to dairy products and no $) but I am very interested in the effect that a properly balanced gut flora has on the nervous system. There was a member here, who said she got a lot of relief from the GAPs diet (google it or SCD diet), which among other things can help increase the good gut flora and decrease the bad. But I think what one eats is important as well as taking the probiotics, but the diet unfortunately is a heck of a challenge!

OK. Shipments of this product take at least a week since Amazon doesn’t stock it. I never looked into expedited shipping.

All the best,

Hi ,

These particular pills cost $40 for a 60 day supply (incl shipping and handling). I can follow Mike’s lead and have a bottle shipped directly to you from Klaire Labs, assuming you want to try them.

If they help you we will all benefit.

Cheers,

That may be an option. Gel capsules are easier for my body to break down than a hard pill, so I may be able to just take the pill as long as it is in a gel capsule. I'll have to do a bit more searching when I have some more time. Thanks

I’ll take a look. It comes in a gelatin capsule so I twisted one open. It is a fine white powder that is tasteless. A pharmacist once told me to crack the capsule of a different medicine open and mix the contents with apple sauce. Does that help?

I looked into it but so far all I can find that contains it are yogurt/dairy products (which my stomach doesn't tolerate) and probiotic pills. My stomach doesn't properly break down and absorb 95% of pills, so that's not really an option for me, either.Do you know of any other foods that have this in it?

It's only been up a few days.. Several people may be trying it and just not mentioning it here... and several others may be looking in to it. You have to give people a chance! Goodness.

Despite the “pain†reduction, no one has volunteered. Fascinating...

Interesting, so it removed your tweak to the noises but not the sensitivity, well thats half the battle isnt it. Has anyone else had any success with this?

Hi Darlene,

So far, I think I’m the only one to try Lactobacillus rhamnosus, which is contained in some yoghurts. Scientific American reported anxiety reduction in lab mice, and it immediately helped me with my OCD “painâ€. I’m referring to the painful involuntary cringe portion of misophonia reaction, not the sound aversion. I avoid exposure so I’m not a good test subject.

I buy it from Amazon as “Klaire Labs - Ther-Biotic Factor 1â€.

Would you consider trying it? I advise googling it first for safety.

Hopefully,

Mike,This is a question many have asked, including myself. I also have OCD as do others who have Misophonia. However, there are some who don't have OCD or anything close to it. I've had doctors assume this is OCD and have been on meds for it. The meds helped my OCD, but did nothing for the sound issues. Not to say that it 'won't' help someone else, but for me it did not. Maybe there needs to be trials to discover a certain dose or something that may work. I'd gladly be the guinea pig.

Goodness. Why is everyone being so nice to me? Feels like it is my birthday or something.I haven't had time to look in to it any more since yesterday but it is definitely something I am interested in trying.

I have an account at drugs.com and have all my medications entered in so I put in the name of this and searched and it said there were no known interactions, so it looks like it is fine for me to take.

Do you always buy online, or can you find it local to you? I am just curious if stores would sell it in with the vitamins and other things. We have two stores in town and Walmart has a bigger selection than the grocery store. There are a few things that I have to order from the pharmacy at the grocery store since they don't carry it on the shelves.

I happened to see the 20/20 segment completely by chance the other night and I

felt like finally someone understood what I experience and I'm not crazy. As I

was watching the people on the show react to their triggers I saw myself in

them, although my symptoms aren't as severe. My triggers are styrofoam

squeaking, smacking, chomping, when someone pops their finger joints, tapping

(pens, pencils, fingers drumming), and my worst is when people turn pages,

especially with newsprint, and it makes a kind of squeaking sound. My family

thinks I'm nuts and I need to get over it, and my brothers, even though we're

all now adults, think it's funny to trigger me with page turning.

I'm pretty sure my mother had it too, as she would go ballistic whenever I ate

anything crunchy, even though I was chewing with my mouth closed and was very

carefull not to make any unnecessary noise. She also would go crazy if I sighed

or breathed loudly. It was only me that brought these reactions from her and I

tried to avoid being near her when I ate. The funny, or not so funny, thing is,

when I would ask her not to make sounds that triggered me she told me to get

over it. I remember my earliest triggers were when I was wearing a terry cloth

bib and my mother would pull it tight and scrub at it with a wet terry cloth

towel to remove food from it while I was wearing it. It would make this

horrific (to me) squeaking sound and I would scream and cry and beg her to stop.

At any rate, it's just such a huge relief to know that it's not just me, and my

reactions are legitimate. I'm so happy I found this group!

Welcome, Martha! I’m glad you found us, too and now know that you really are not crazy. That’s one of the most common comments I hear from new members – that they are so relieved to find out they’re not crazy and also not alone. You’ll find lots of support and well as plenty of ideas and brainstorming here. If you haven’t already, you’ll find a lot of information and links to additional information in past posts and other related threads. Hang in there!
