Introduction
In 
this 
case 
a 
detailed 
evaluation 
and 
support 
for 
gastrointestinal 
function 
led 
to 
improvements 
in 
neurological 
and 
digestive 
symptoms. 
This 
case 
demonstrates 
the 
gut–brain 
link, 
whereby 
the 
microbiota 
in the 
gastrointestinal 
tract 
interact 
with 
their 
host 
through 
pathways 
of 
the 
immune, 
neuroendocrine 
and 
nervous 
systems.
Initial 
case 
presentation
AB 
is 
a 
42-year 
old 
woman, 
with 
a 
partner 
and 
no 
children. 
Twelve 
years 
prior 
to 
attending 
the 
practitioner’s 
clinic, 
AB 
had 
experienced 
severe 
sudden-onset 
neurological 
symptoms 
including 
double 
vision, 
brain 
fog 
and 
dizziness. 
She 
saw 
a 
neurologist 
within 
three 
days 
of 
onset 
who 
diagnosed 
inflammation 
in 
the 
brain, 
which 
he 
indicated 
may 
potentially 
be 
a 
sign 
of 
early-stage 
multiple 
sclerosis 
(MS).
