[QUOTE="Restormel01, post: 746073, member: 155007"] The jury is out on causes .... can be genetic, can be stress and can be quite different in different people. The particular one I have is Atrial Fibrillation whereby the electrical circuits of the heart - misfire - bit like in a 1950's car engine when the sparks from the distributor cap don't fire in sequence or correctly. Medical treatment is to burn out the offending circuit. Cause can also be a dysfunctional vagal nerve. This nerve is a significant one in the central nervous system which controls the function of BOTH the heart AND digestive system. 4 - 6 months after diagnosis I found the onset of an AF event occurred after food so went to a Nutritionist - she put me on a Probiotic powder, got me going gluten free and introduced me to the FODMAPS diet. I've started reading up on LCHF diets and do see problems because I'm already following some of this, but, other things I can see would be good I can't have 'cos they will interact with Warfarin in an undesirable way - so its gonna be a bit of a balancing act. Fer instance, one of the best things I can have to calm the vagal nerve is Rice products. Pasta too. Cannot have Full Cream milk regularly best not at all. Cannot tolerate much dairy produce, certainly not Yoghurt. My Dad had diabetes which in the end killed him. Other parts of the family have AF - genetics again. All a bit of a challenge. Heres hoping when all tests done it shows no issue, but, I don't think so. Yet I don't have any symptoms of diabetes, thirst, sleepy etc. etc. [/QUOTE]
