Gut Health Maintenance
tried spelling maintenance right and renaming the post but it hasn't taken effect yet. lol
Sounds like a post from grandma but make sure you guys are eating 100% of your daily fiber values. I also drink a cup of coffee a day in the AM to clean out the intestines and prevent gallstones and take a pre+probiotic supplement every so often. I also take some digestive enzymes as needed. If you just take betaine HCL it can inactivate/overpower the pancreatic enzymes so find a good mixed one if you need it.
If there is gut fermentation from dysbiosis (overgrowth of bad bacteria) that can lead to a disruption in tyrosine metabolism as well as a norepinephrine receptor blockage which will produce fatigue. The best way to stop all this is to prevent it from happening in the first place with the above advice. This is the main mechanism of CFS as the immune system is in the gut.
Also it is important that we are sleeping well so take some sublingual melatonin and gaba or something if you guys can't get to sleep at regular hours. Having had chronic fatigue this has all reversed it in addition to monitoring estrogen levels and keeping them low along with keeping shbg low.
I look at the gut health thing as a lifestyle change...I go to walmart and they have oatmeal packets with cinnamon that have 40% of your daily fiber value as well as bread that has 10% per slice and jelly that has near 20% if you use it on a pb and j sandwich. easy fiber right there...stay healthy guys. I also believe that the liquid b complex absorbs better than regular pills. Try that if you want more energy. Also testosterone raises thyroid binding globulin so adding 30mg of armor thyroid a day (non suppressive to thyroid function) can also help. Monitoring aldosterone and cortisol levels if additional symptoms of fatigue are present may also help. This is what I have done to make my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) work, though most of you probably don't need aldosterone or cortisol.
