Re: Serious gut problems, fatigue and illness at 22. Need advice?
I am 22 and in a similar predicament, although not as severe I would say. First of all I would be taking Betaine HCL and a comprehensive digestive enzyme formula. It seems I am getting some weight with these and eating tons as well. Undigested food gets much more scarce on these supplements.
Next... if you want to detox and get energy back, probably exploring methylation can help a great deal. Go to the Phoenix Rising forum and learn about this popular protocol for CFS.
Other things to consider which can be huge are leaky gut (basically inflammed epithelium and
food intolerances ),thyroid and adrenal fatigue, adrenals need to be treated first if you have problems with both. And gut needs treatment the first of anything but wont get completely cured if you have thyroid, adrenal or methylation (glutathione) issues.
I am still trying to decide what the f*** to do for myself, but I am aware one of the things above holds the key, or a combination of these. I have tried a good array of things for these problems with no success but because of testing and symptoms I know I need to persevere.
