Several studies suggest that butyrate-producing bacteria are reduced in people with chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and possibly fibromyalgia (FM) and long COVID. The fact that three different techniques have found reduced levels of butyrate-reducing bacteria in...
Led by Cheng Guo (lead author) and Brent L. Williams (senior author) this big NIH-funded study from Ian Lipkin’s Columbia team at the “Center for Solutions for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CfS for ME/CFS)” set out to fix some...
More studies need to be done, but it appears that something has gone awry in the gut flora of people that’s impacting the symptoms found in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), Gulf War Illness (GWI), and now, it appears, long COVID....
Although fatigue has traditionally been scorned in medical research. studies show that ME/CFS – the “chronic fatigue syndrome” – is significantly more functionally disabling than multiple sclerosis, heart failure, diabetes, depression, and...
The gut may seem distant from the main source of action in chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) and fibromyalgia (FM) but more and more studies suggest that gut problems can affect everything from the cardiovascular system to the immune system to the brain. The gut is...
A Gulf War Illness study finds a connection between dysregulated gut flora, leaky gut and neuroinflammation – and a new way to potentially resolve it. It’s nice when the government has your back. After years of neglect, the federal government finally...
