Hi @Bdeep86 - I completely understand your caution around this - we are all desperate for relief so I think there is an evident tendency to latch onto anything that might help..
I'm fairly cautious as have tried things in the past that have made me feel worse - hence the TUDCA has been sitting in my kitchen untouched for a couple of weeks and it will stay there until I feel confident I've done the groundwork. I did try Biotics Research Beta-TCP ("Support for normal cholesterol to bile acid conversion and healthy bile flow. Contains digestive and antioxidant enzymes, vitamin C, taurine and organic beet concentrate.") to support gall bladder but felt really rough pretty quickly - so not wanting to be hasty with the TUDCA....
And it's the groundwork I'm interested in at the moment. Should all sugar, including fruit be excluded? and presumably this is because of the dysbiosis inherent in the whole picture? I haven't been rigorous about sugar but I'm not getting any better....
I would have to know more but I feel that most people who have had CFS long term can't take TUDCA right off the bad. Also your diet will be critical to this. If you have a collapsed liver/gallbladder channel then it can actually make things worse. Most are going to need other support before addressing the collapse liver/gallbladder channel.
Sugar by in large needs to be eliminated. Fat intake is a major part of this picture as well. Fruit aside from bananas and avacado are actually alright as long as they are eaten by themselves and at least 2 hours away from other foods. Preferably these will be cooked as well, something like baked apples for example. Are you craving sugar? Are you gluten intolerant? I saw you aren't breaking down protein, I think this is the case for most CFS sufferers.
