Hi there,
I'm new to this forum, and not necessarily sure that I have ME or CF, but I do experience fatigue as part of my symptoms, and from what I've discovered recently, this is most likely all due to gut issues I've been tested and proven to currently have, including an overgrowth of streptococcus, a parasite in my gut called blasto hominis, and almost 100% leaky gut likelyhood based on everything else going on, and my other symptoms...
Anyway, I'm going to post another thread, where I'm going to journal my progress with changing diet, possibly taking antibiotics to get rid of the strep, etc.
But this thread was just a quick one, to get your feedback. My Dr said yesterday that the leaky gut part of this is easy, and it can be "sealed up" with Slippery Elm. What are your thoughts on this, from what I understand taking slippery elm while I have strep would be a terrible idea, no? (as they love starchy type foods from what I read)
I am not sure about going carb free, which is what another poster recommends here as a necessity for overcoming strep. I have tried it, and literally felt like the lowest energy and most fatigue I've ever felt. I guess there is a turn over period, but man it's definitely not something to jump into lightly..
Any thoughts and feedback appreciated!
Thanks guys,
N
