Streptococcus overgrowth & CFS/ME request

Messages
15
I have a streptococcus gut overgrowth and believe it causing me issues. The medical practitioner I have been using seems to be totally dismissing this as an issue. Can anyone please provide a link to any research confirming this? I can find tons of research linking CFS/ME with altered gut flora but not nessesarily Strep.

Many thanks
