Re: Help.. Possibly Dying - ME/CFS/FM/MCS & Liver pain

Thanks a lot Telman.

Yeah you're right. Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome is often caused by poor gut function in general. Dr Kenny DeMierlier, one of the best in the world on CFS/ME theorizes that the worse the gut dysfunction, the worse the CFS, and he's sure right in my case.

I cannot tolerate amitriptyline or most other drugs for that matter, due to extremely poor processing. I've tried about 8 different anti deps to try to increase neurotransmitters and help with pain/sleep etc, never to any avail. Severe side effects at 1/10th tablets of all of them. Same with many, many drugs.

I can barely eat anything now so am mostly on just veggies with small amounts of beans, but mostly these elemental drinks (vivonex). Not ideal as they contain high amounts of maltodextrin, but also protein in single amino acid pre digested form. These have helped me out of the very steep severe spiral I was on, but only slowed things down a bit, i'm still extremely unwell. Hence asking about Liver Flushes as it's one of the only things I haven't done yet. I just don't want to end up in hosp with pancreatitis or something is all!

Thanks again. ~Chris. Tweet
