I think this seems to be talking about the opposite of what Griffiths University claimed to have found here, https://www.s4me.info/threads/the-courier-mail-australian-scientists-prove-cfs-is-real-and-have-discovered-a-test-for-it.1638/? Griffiths claim we don't have enough calcium going into...

My gut wasn't that bad when I got ME. I had a bit of Irritable bowel syndrome, but nothing awful. I don't think my gut was quite right but I 100% didn't have inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). I later had long term antibiotics for suspected Lyme and subsequently got ulcerative colitis, induced...
