Fixing Leaky Gut Helps ME/CFS, and Sometimes Achieves Full Remission

[Nanni]

@Nanni @Rufous McKinney yes, coconut has caprylic acid that is good for gut.. I’ve taken Ecolological Formulas brand called Caprystatin for many years (originally given to me by Chinese Medicine Dr) It has helped manage my chronic yeast and leaky gut. I wonder if the yogurt contains sugars.. coconut is full of sugar and sugar feeds the yeast that creates leaky gut. Coconut OIL has MTCs and caprylic acid so I take that also.. obviously contains no sugars.

I heard my reaction was probably due to the additives needed to create the yogurt phenomenon from the coconut.

i'm having positive results so far with Thorne's Enteromend product. Per dose, it contains:

2.5g l-glutamine
250mg Aloe Vera Gel powder
250mg Curcumin Phytosome and 250mg Indian Frankincense Phytosome in a Phospholipid Complex
1g PHGG fiber

just an update. I had a severe setback with what i believe is a Bartonella infection. I've been very sick the past couple weeks and had to stop the Enteromend product. I think I can't tolerate the glutamine.

I have over the past year definitely improved my gut function and coinciding with that is an improvement in my condition, potentially incidentally because I really cant prove causation I have done too many things in parallel. I have been doing a lot of probiotics of many different varieties but when I started doing inulin or fos powder that I started to get some digestion improvement. Then I added kefir, kombucha and kimchi and I am fairly certain the kefir helped, the other two commercially bought I am not convinced by, missing them doesn't matter.

Then last week I went on a big sibo and sifo killing spree based out of a book called super gut as well as making my own yoghurt on very particular variants of bacteria purposefully to clear my small intestine. It's been kind of bad, herx response to it all basically but learning I can take any probiotic and ferment milk with it and inulin to amp the bacteria dose up has been interesting and my intake now is 100s of billions CFUs daily and my guts are almost normal even if I feel poisoned by it all. Not sure if it's lasting benefits or just temporary and I am still very much playing and having issues with fermented milk from a yoghurt maker (keeps splitting) but there is something quite interesting about the approach on making yoghurt like things out of whatever bacteria you want in a 20 quid device.

How's it going with this now? Are you still making your own yogurt per the SuperGut book, and is it helping years later?

This treatment method sent 93% of autoimmune diseases into remission

Could you provide a link to the clinical trial?

For some reason, the author, Dr. Steven Gundry, has not openly posted this document for anyone to download and read for themselves. You have to ask permission from the author to read the document.

By contrast, Dr. Alessio Fasano, the pioneering doctor-researcher who discovered zonulin and who publishes groundbreaking papers about Celiac Disease, autoimmunity and autism, makes the vast majority of his published literature available for full download, for free, without any registration or permission. The work he does is in evidence-based medicine and has been reproduced and accepted by others in the field.

Dr. Steven Gundry's title is: "Remission/Cure of Autoimmune Diseases by a Lectin Limite Diet Supplemented With Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Polyphenols"

This title therefore claims that he has enrolled people with diagnosed autoimmune diseases. However, his abstract says this:

All pts initially low Vit D levels and low Omega 3 index and adiponectin levels above 16mg/dl. Biomarkers of inflammation, hs-CRP, TNF-alpha, IL-6, fibrinogen, myeloperoxidase and autoimmune markers were measured every 3 months.

95/102 patients achieved complete resolution of autoimmune markers and inflammatory markers within 9 months. The other 7/102 patients all had reduced markers, but incomplete resolution. 80/102 patients were weaned from all immunosuppressive and/or biologic medications without rebound.

Did Dr. Gundry confirm the patients' diagnoses? Were controls used in this trial? If not, why not? What were the markers before and after 9 months on the diet? Were the patients using any medications while on the diet? I have many questions about this trial, but the biggest one is why the document is not available for anyone to download freely.
