Which are the causes of Guillain-Barre Syndrome?
See some of the causes of Guillain-Barre Syndrome according to people who have experience in Guillain-Barre Syndrome
GBS is caused by an autoimmune response. This is often in response to a viral infection (flu or gastro), or following surgery. Many GBS survivors claim that they became ill following the flu shot.

Viruses, flu shots, infections, and I don't think anyone really knows. They were never able to tell me what caused mine. I also heard childbirth also causes BBS.

You can get it from being sick with diarrhea or a respiratory illness, you can also develop GBS after having the flu or other infections and after getting a vaccination. Some people are just more sensitive the others.

I got GBS after my mandatory flu shot for work. About 2 weeks after I got the shot I started experiencing symptoms of pins and needles in my hands and feet and severe lower back pain. It took my 3 more weeks of intense pain before I saw my doctor.

no one will admit they know the( only)cause or causes of gbs, but it is well known that the Flu vaccine has been responsible for 18of the G20 Countries creating a vaccine compensation program for those injured oe die after having had a vaccine. The injured individual would know better than any one in most cases as to what they injested? ie,food, environment they got sick? The infetion that may have stimulatrd the body to react in the way it did??

No one is sure. Some things could be flu shots or even the flu itself

Infections , possibly from undercooked chicken

The cause for GBS can come from many different ways.

There are surely more triggers for GBS than are known / documented, which is why it is considered a syndrome, rather than a disease which has better known causes. A frequent cause is the body's' response to an inoculation, like a flu shot. Other's like myself are caused by exposure to the campylobacter bug present in raw chicken. Often, the onset is preceded by an upper respiratory infection. Zika virus has been linked to the onset. The trigger agents are too numerous to mention, & the list is ever-growing with time.

It is unknown at this time. There are theories but none have been proven.

I don’t know if they (the medical field) even know what causes Guillain-Barre Syndrome.
I have heard several different things: hereditary, from shots, from an infection.
I just know that this disease is as individual as they come. In my experience, everyone that I have talked to over the years has had a different story, but with an all too familiar and sad ending. But also with them, I’ve also heard so many stories of triumph and happiness having beat this disease!! So don’t you ever lose faith!!

The cause is not known until today, but they are related to previous viral infections

I have heard many reports, vaccines ( as was in my case), infections such as ear, throat, diarrhea , tbm and stress, people who are under the influence of stress can trigger the SGB.

It is the immune system that is disturbed due to a virus or an accumulation of health problems.
