I’m still doing well on this diet, much the same as described before. As long as I stay away from carbs the symptom improvements persist. I...
One interesting piece of evidence I’ve read is that d-lactate is thought to interfere with cellular respiration, namely pyruvate and l-lactate...
@Trish and everyone - been reading a bit on gut issues since my last posts and also been on threads on PR regarding SIBO and d-lactate acidosis....
For me like @Keela Too it’s not at all hard to get enough fat on the diet, it’s to get adequate protein. I’m supposed to eat 100g protein a day...
I don't know how one would be able to afford a biologic without insurance, at least in the U.S. Stelara costs $10,000 1st 0.45mg starter...
Update: It's been just over two weeks now since I recovered from the crash I had after starting the ketogenic diet (see earlier in this thread)....
I used Elidel to treat my psoriasis for years before I got on an anti IL-23 biologic this year. It worked well though not for itching so I had to...
@Sid the thing is that ME researchers are, I believe, finding more and more evidence that comes to the conclusion that this is a heterogeneous...
I totally agree. But this post gives a more fair and balanced assessment of the situation, some women will do better with ketogenic and IF...

Probably no. I would say a possible theory is that due to the fact that we keep eating carbohydrates like normal and we have a healthy supply of...
I wouldn't make such a blanket statement. Naviaux doesn't know for sure. His paper studied 45 subjects (n = 22 men and 23 women), that's a very,...
PWME do not have genetic mitochondrial diseases. No researcher, no doctor, no patient, no one knows exactly the cellular energy impairments we...
What you wrote in the first paragraph is basically my own experience and that of others. @Trish's theory that it could be SIBO is a valid one,...
Sorry I'm very busy today... just keep searching it's there. It isn't required but it is used to jump start and help you get into ketosis....
Here's a long-term study on the ketogenic diet in (mostly) adults with epilepsy. Mean diet time was 9 months, with five patients continuing for...
@Sid I apologize but ketogenic != Atkins. With Atkins you replace carbs with as much protein as you want (and the fats that come with it)....
Does your body type need to consume 2174 calories per day? If you are with ME and worse than mild severity I highly doubt you need this many...
As I mentioned in earlier posts, keto sites have very different and conflicting recommendations on protein intake to stay in ketosis. I only gave...
You don't need to eat belly pork, or pork at all if it bothers you. I eat chicken with skin (all parts of bird), different cuts of steak, veal,...
