On the guaifenesin FMS support group, someone brought up the subject of FMS
symptoms appearing shortly after she and others had quit drinking.  A half
dozen women responded with stories of their own.  I have this theory that
the iron overload that causes a lot of FMS also causes a lot of alcoholism.
So here is my question, does gluten intolerance, the other FMS gene, also
cause alcoholism?  I will be happy to summarize (and keep anonymous) any
comment ya'll make on the subject.  This is one near and dear to my heart,
as I am trying to figure out whether my ex (and father of my kids) had
celiac running in his family (with gluten having the effect of making them
feel mean) or whether it was iron overload making them mean and drinkers.  I
am figuring that the hypoglycemia from eating gluten would make celiacs seek
out fast calories.  Donna
