Oh my that is horrific! I am not going to be able to speak to my specialist for a few weeks so I am going to remain gluten free and if this improves my cardiac function then I can take it from there. My Vit D is being treated and I am on a good multi vitamin for now. Thanks for the advice 🙏

Thanks for this! I have not got detail on the imbalance as it was inconclusive and a consideration - so too was a hormone imbalance. I am definitely not keen on reintroducing gluten, however if that's my only option. I had considered contacting my cardiologist with a view to see if gluten free improved my heart function!

Hi there, I was diagnosed with IBS in my 20's, diagnosed with cardiomyopathy in my 30's after a virus (myocarditis) which almost killed me. Have eaten low carb mostly over theast 20yrs as I was aware that high carb food caused me pain and bloating. In my 50's and had a cardiac arrest recently and they said it was an electrolyte imbalance but...
