Summary
Crux, with a long history of IBS, followed the thread's resistant-starch protocol (raw potato starch, building toward 3-4 tablespoons/day, though he could only tolerate about 2) and reported less fatigue and PEM after 3 weeks, describing it as "a slow process" rather than a dramatic cure. This was an early-stage, partial-improvement report rather than a completed recovery.
