Summary
Lagoon 23619 has ME/CFS with brain fog and crashes. After 6-8 weeks of probiotics alongside diet and sleep changes, they reported small but real improvements - less brain fog and fewer crashes - though not a cure. Probiotics alone had not helped until diet and sleep were addressed. By June 2026 they reported no ear infections since starting an earplug hygiene routine.
