ME/CFS may be a cousin to hepatic encephalopathy ("HE"), which causes forgetfulness and confusion in people with chronic liver disease. In my case as an ME/CFS patient, every time I eat a meal, I become brain-fogged shortly thereafter -- precisely during the time I am digesting the food. I am convinced that this brain fog is caused by toxins produced by bad bacteria and yeasts in my gut that are feeding on the food. Because such a massive amount of toxins are produced with every meal I eat, my liver is unable to filter out all the toxins, which leads to the brain fog (or what Jarred Younger would term brain inflammation).
The good news is that oral fecal transplants appear to help reduce symptoms in HE patients, and thus may help ME/CFS patients whose problems stem from the gut.
