Emphasis to alternative co-factor nutrients added by me. What is your experience with those?

Ubiquinol (Q10 in its active form) was very effective at first when I started taking it years ago but nowadays I don't notice anything even from big doses. I can take thiamine when I combine it with vitamin B2 in its active form. Otherwise I get the sulfur symptoms so there is a connection there. I haven't noticed anything when I take magnesium, zinc or choline. I still take magnesium daily. Zinc seems to cause constipation so I try to get it from food.

This is offtopic but I developed GERD in March. It is terrible to have GERD with CFS/ME and I don't respond all that well to PPI:s. Pepcid (famotidine) worked at first but it is losing its effectivenes. It sucks when having CFS/ME and you can't even sleep at night because of constant intestinal symptoms like constant bloating and belching and acid shooting straight to my throat and even ears. I get constant adrenaline rushes also because of this that keeps me awake. I think there is vagus nerve connection there.

I fixed my diet and realised that high FODMAP foods are triggers for me. I don't get much heartburn when I don't consume them but all the other symptoms still remain. Probably Candida and/or SIBO is causing all this and there may be the sulfur and poor detoxification connection to all this.

I tried betaine HCL and apple cider vinegar tablets but they both made my GERD symptoms even worse. Taking apple cider vinegar tablet was like dropping a mentos tablet into Coca Cola bottle.

interestingly i have a problem with thiamine, i did a couple injections and they would hurt like crazy every time.
i took a bottle of glutathione and it had no effect whatsoever (same with coQ10) but i read it has terrible bioavailability iirc

depends on the form, s-acetyl-glutathione is good. normal glutathion usually is split in the guts but then can be later composed together.
but if normal glutathion which is a sulfur compound does not make problems, maybe you have a different problem. maybe the acetyl- group is your problem instead? for example thiamin often is bound to acetyl groups as well as in benfothiamine.

if acetyl groups are your problem, try some normal L-carnitine or L-carnitine-fumarate.

if thats the case it could be too much acid and not to less. you might try some hydrogencarbonated mineralwater. above 1000mg/l.
but careful, it might with time lead to too less acid, when you get the stone like feeling in your stomach then its that.
