so you're keto?

Thanks Jim, can I ask what exactly you are doing to treat leaky gut? Is it dietary changes alone?It has mine and I haven't fully healed my leaky gut yet.11 months ago I started aggressively treating dysbiosis and leaky gut.
I was able then, to do about 2 hours of physical activity a day without suffering PEM. Now, 11 months later and still treating dysbiosis and leaky gut, I'm able to do between 4-6 hours a day of physical activity without PEM and I continue to improve.
I recently have also been treating mitochondrial dysfunction more aggressively. I believe the mitochondrial dysfunction is being caused by immune system activation and oxidative stress from a leaky gut.
It seems to me the mito. dysfunction is the cause of my fatigue and PEM but the dysbiosis and leaky gut are the cause of the mito. dysfunction.

Looking back, I can't believe that some people contributing to this thread think that ME is produced by stress.
Hi jim.
How are you treating leaky gut.
Btw i was.in top 2% of population in leakiness in a gut test.
Thanks Jim, can I ask what exactly you are doing to treat leaky gut? Is it dietary changes alone?
Yes, at least stress leading to infection is plausible.

How are you treating Mito Dysfunction?
The thing that is helping me the most for mitochondrial function is high dose coq10, 500 mg a day.
It has stopped the flu-like flares I use to get after going out for walks, that would last 4-5 days and usually put me in bed for those 4-5 days.
It seems very clear to me now, that mito. dysfunction is causing my fatigue and flu-like flares but I believe it's a leaky gut that's causing the mito. dysfunction.

Thanks a lot, Jim. It seems like CoQ10 is helpful to a lot of people on this forum. I am going to get some ASAP.
For me, I feel like the theories stating CFS is an autoimmune disorder hold the most weight. My immune system has been hyperactive ever since I developed CFS (which started with a flu-like illness), and it's become the norm for me to have elevated WBC, so that makes the most sense for my case.
that almost sounds like ketoNo high fat diet mostly but
I also eat some fruit...red beans and veg that has carbs.
I not a fan of keto. I just aim to mainatin stable blood sugar.
I eat carbs but NO SPIKES in glucose. Dont let.blood sugar increase.by much. No high load carbs like rice pasta etc.
that almost sounds like keto![]()
