I need some guidance on this. When my worst problems started (which back then I could only barely link to "CFS" or autism like I do now) the first thing I got was flaky eczema or dermatitis in sides of the nose, one eyebrow and sometimes in forehead, more scalp dandruff and severe sleep problems. I also had a gurgling stomach and not really healthy BMs. Eventually I got a IgG testing of 16 foods that came back highly positive for all of them, these multiples intolerances granted me a diagnosis from a functional doctor for Leaky Gut Syndrome. This guy was useless down the road btw.
During these three years none of these symptoms have resolved, although a increasingly healthy and strict diet makes my skin problems shrunk to only the nose and scalp area. Thus I assume I still have leaky gut, even while I dont have very obvious digestive problems, especially sticking to a paleo diet. Eating dark chocolate, chip crisps, etc seems to trigger discomfort lately. Sometimes I eat dairy and it doesnt gives a problem gut-wise, once in a wedding recently I ate gluten and what not and was almost fine. I feel like my gut its more sensitive now than how it was, but my diet its very antinflammatory.
It is commonly said that if you have leaky gut problems they need to be taken care before starting methylation. However, my digestive system its quite asymptomatic while my energy, sleep and mood/mental problems are quite bad and getting worse. Plus, I never gave it a good thought, but I have some degree of brain fog, because I find terrifying and impossible the idea of learning to drive and people always told me I was a "mess" when I was trying to fit into the system ignoring my health problems, lots of anecdotes with "the mess", some of them frankly comic! Haha. And my problems with putting up with my family and society with my "hypochondria" and "psychosomatic illness" are getting hot, not to mention my own emotional burden of being like this, like a prisoner in my own house and body. I need tangible improvements soon, for my own morale and to release pressure from the family.
So I was wondering if someone have ignored the leaky gut thing that wasnt severe and have been succesful with methylation, which its an easy and standarized protocol, whereas curing the gut its very troublesome it seems, plus there are those that say curing methylation helps the gut. I also have adrenal and thyroid issues but I think I can handle those, making some steps to manage them with doctors...
