Summary
A Reddit user in their twelfth year of ME/CFS said a mostly organic, unprocessed diet free of sugar, caffeine, dairy and gluten, followed for eight years, helped somewhat but was not a game changer. Ten years of pushing through symptoms, they said, only prolonged the misery, and a flu a few months before writing had left them still short of their baseline.
