\"gaba<\/p>\n

Dear Trudy, your recommendation of using GABA for anal cramps has changed my life. I don\u2019t experience them often but when I do they are nasty. A crushed pill or open capsule on the tongue works wonders, almost instantly.<\/p>\n

However, I want to add, after hearing your presentation on the Parkinson\u2019s summit and your mention of relief from physical tension, that taking 500mg relieves body ache in hips and legs.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m 75, and have recently developed debilitating body aches. Taking one twice\/day a.m. and p.m. has made a huge difference. Thank you for your brilliant blog.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Merril shared this wonderful feedback<\/a> about how the amino acid GABA, used as a supplement helps her with anal cramps and also body aches. I never get tired of hearing feedback like this and as always, I like to share so I can educate further. This helps the person sharing the results and the community as a whole.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s blog highlights more about the role GABA plays in muscle spasms and pain, and more about anal\/rectal spasms in case this application is new to you. I also share other considerations when muscle spasms and\/or pain are an issue: gluten, oxalates and low endorphins.<\/p>\n

GABA works wonders (almost instantly) to eliminate anal cramps<\/h2>\n

I first blogged about GABA as a solution for agonizing rectal pain and spasms<\/a>\u00a0in 2017. I shared how I experienced the awful anal sphincter spasm and pain myself.\u00a0 The medical term is proctalgia fugax and is described as a condition that leads to rectal\/anal spasms and sharp fleeting pain in the lower rectum or anus. In some people it can be more than fleeting and is often described as excruciating and agonizing.<\/p>\n

The first time it happened to me I was terrified and beside myself not knowing what it was or what to do. I eventually figured out the solution because of what I knew about GABA helping to ease tense muscles and wanted to shine some light on this very painful condition.<\/p>\n

As Merril says GABA \u201cworks wonders, almost instantly<\/em>\u201d\u00a0 to completely eliminate the pain. Take note that she says a \u201ccrushed pill or open capsule on the tongue.\u201d <\/em>\u00a0GABA is most effective when used this way: sublingual GABA or GABA powder or liposomal GABA (and presumably GABA cream too).<\/p>\n

GABA can also be used to prevent a full-on spasm if you catch it in advance i.e. when you first feel the twinges of a spasm coming on.<\/p>\n

GABA relieves body aches\/pain for her and in Parkinson\u2019s patient<\/h2>\n

I love that GABA has the side benefits of also relieving her body aches in her hips and legs. It\u2019s not unusual to use GABA or one of the other amino acids for a symptom and then discover it\u2019s helping in another area.<\/p>\n

And do appreciate that she picked up this tip when tuning into the Parkinson\u2019s summit. I always share new information when I speak at summits and the amino acid and neurotransmitter information typically has varied applications.<\/p>\n

During my summit interviews I had shared that working with a few people with Parkinson\u2019s disease, GABA has been very helpful for the stiffness and pain, the physical anxiety, easing some of their tremors and helping with insomnia. I had one client whose husband had anxiety, insomnia, and leg pain and \u201cthrashed around the bed at night.<\/em>\u201d GABA helped this man tremendously.<\/p>\n

I shared this research: Molecular Imaging of the GABAergic System in Parkinson\u2019s Disease and Atypical Parkinsonisms<\/a><\/p>\n

A growing number of neuroimaging studies have focused on the association with different symptoms of Parkinson\u2019s disease, thereby suggesting a GABAergic role in motor symptoms, gait disturbances, frontal cognition, somatic symptom disorder, and hallucinations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other ways GABA helps with pain and muscle stiffness<\/h2>\n

With regards to my comment above about GABA having many applications, when it comes to aches, pain and spasms, GABA helps with the abdominal pain of colitis<\/a>, muscle stiffness and pain in those with multiple sclerosis<\/a> and even bladder pain<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gluten, sugar, gut health, and oxalates<\/h2>\n

She didn\u2019t mention what her diet was like so just to be safe, I encouraged her to also check out my book \u201cThe Antianxiety Food Solution<\/a>\u201d\u00a0to explore all the possible root causes that may be contributing to the anal spasms, pain and body aches \u2013 such as gluten<\/a> (\u201ctingling at 50%, numbness at 27%, pain at 20%, burning at 13% and “buzzing” feeling at 7%\u201d<\/em>) , gut health and SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and even sugar.<\/p>\n

I mentioned that I don\u2019t cover oxalates in my book but with body aches, spasms and pain I\u2019d also explore this aspect. More on oxalates here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Endorphin support with the amino acid DPA helps ease pain<\/h2>\n

When there is a neurotransmitter imbalance like low GABA levels it\u2019s not uncommon to also have other neurotransmitter imbalances. With pain and aching I\u2019d want to explore the possibility of low endorphins and do a trial with the amino acid DPA (d-phenylalanine) if low endorphin symptoms are present (you can find the symptoms questionnaire here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

DPA supports endorphin production (by inhibiting the breakdown of endorphins), reducing pain quickly, often in 2-10 minutes.<\/p>\n

The use of DPA is not new information as you can read in this paper from 1982 – D-phenylalanine and other enkephalinase inhibitors as pharmacological agents: implications for some important therapeutic application<\/a><\/p>\n

A number of compounds have been shown to inhibit the degradation of enkephalins. As expected, these compounds produce naloxone reversible analgesia [pain-relief] and potentiate the analgesia produced by enkephalins and by acupuncture.<\/p>\n

One of these, D-phenylalanine, is also anti-inflammatory.<\/p>\n

D-phenylalanine has proven to be beneficial in many human patients with chronic, intractable pain. It is proposed the enkephalinase inhibitors may be effective in a number of human \u201cendorphin deficiency diseases\u201d such as depression, schizophrenia, convulsive disorders and arthritis.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

DPA also improves mood, especially when there is weepiness, and provides comfort when there is emotional eating. Here is one of many blogs that address DPAfor pain<\/a>. Feel free to use the blog search feature to find others if you are new to this amino acid.<\/p>\n

A few GABA product options \u2013 a sublingual, a powder and a cream<\/h2>\n
\n
\"gaba<\/div>\n
\"gaba<\/div>\n
\"somnium<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Some of the GABA products I recommend include Source Naturals GABA Calm lozenges and Now GABA Powder.\u00a0 You can purchase these from my online store (Fullscript \u2013 only available to US customers \u2013 use this link to set up an account<\/a>).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not in the US, Source Naturals GABA Calm lozenges and Now GABA Powder are available via iherb (use this link to save 5%<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Somnium GABA Cream is available with international shipping. Read more about the product<\/a> and grab my coupon code to save 15%.<\/p>\n

Additional resources when you are new to using amino acids as supplements<\/h2>\n

As always, I use the symptoms questionnaire<\/a>\u00a0to figure out if low GABA or other neurotransmitter imbalances may be an issue.<\/p>\n

If you suspect low levels of any of the neurotransmitters and do not yet have my book, The Antianxiety Food Solution \u2013 How the Foods You Eat Can Help You Calm Your Anxious Mind, Improve Your Mood, and End Cravings<\/a>, I highly recommend getting it and reading it before jumping in and using amino acids on your own so you are knowledgeable. And be sure to share it with the practitioner\/health team you or your loved one is working with.<\/p>\n

There is an entire chapter on the amino acids and they are discussed throughout the book in the sections on gut health, gluten, blood sugar control (this is covered in an entire chapter too), sugar cravings, anxiety and mood issues.<\/p>\n

The book doesn\u2019t include product names (per the publisher\u2019s request) so this blog, The Antianxiety Food Solution Amino Acid and Pyroluria Supplements<\/a>, lists the amino acids that I use with my individual clients and those in my group programs.<\/p>\n

If, after reading this blog and my book, you don\u2019t feel comfortable figuring things out on your own (i.e. doing the symptoms questionnaire and respective amino acids trials), a good place to get help is the GABA QuickStart Program<\/a> (if you have low GABA symptoms too). This is a paid online\/virtual group program where you get my guidance and community support.<\/p>\n

If you are a practitioner, join us in The Balancing Neurotransmitters: the Fundamentals<\/a> program. This is also a paid online\/virtual program with an opportunity to interact with me and other practitioners who are also using the amino acids.<\/p>\n

Wrapping up and your feedback<\/h2>\n

I do always appreciate feedback from the community and being able to share it on the blog. I\u2019m thrilled Merril saw these benefits with GABA. She doesn\u2019t mention if she has also seen benefits for sleep or feeling anxious or stress eating (all signs of low GABA too) – I\u2019m curious to find out!<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019d love to hear from you – have you had success with GABA for anal\/rectal spasms or other body aches, pains and muscle spasms? How much has helped and which product?<\/p>\n

Have dietary changes or DPA also helped?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re a practitioner have you seen GABA help in situations like this?<\/p>\n

And please let me know if it\u2019s helpful that I\u2019m now including product recommendations and where to get them.<\/p>\n
