Subject: Re: Stress causing fibro flare
Hi Laura - work stress is one of my triggers and can cause me to flare for weeks. I have also got it from over exercising. I have read that cortisol stress hormone can trigger inflammation due to mucosal barrier depletion - causing intestinal permeability. There are lots of medical papers online about stress and inflammation. I take a magnesium (citrate) supplement regularly that I knew helped with stress and flares but I have just read that it prevents mucosal depletion from cortisol. Hope yours eases soon :)
