great info RLC ... I think we can understand now why most doctors don't bother to look for the cause of someone's ME/CFS. I wonder how many of us have several of those diagnosises that you listed. I'm good for about 20 myself. And I wonder if it has anything to do with our levels of disability too ? Having multiple diagnosises certainly makes treating each condition challenging ... In my case, I suspect that eating gluten set me up for problems in every organ in my body. Gluten ataxia was just one piece of the puzzle.
I'd add leaky gut to your list. Which means food intolerances, candida, parasites, dybiosis, nutritional deficiencies, heavy metals and chemical intolerances can play a role. DAN! treats autistic kids for this ...
FWIW ... I was just at my celiac support group meeting the other day and couldn't believe how many times these people were biopsied for celiac and it came back negative. Just their last ones prior to giving up gluten came back positive. All those who tested post gf, had negative biopsies ... It really makes me wonder just what celiac disease is and when does it happen ? These people are as old as I am, 55, and ate gluten their whole lives ... tc ... x
