Summary
Posted in r/cfs that they had had gut problems for many years, along with SIBO and SBO; a low-carb, low-fibre diet with small meals worked best, while enzymes and pro-motility and anti-bloating supplements gave no results. They also posted in 2022 that they had felt much better living in Fontana than in an old Venice house and did better in sealed, less dusty homes, but windy dusty days made them feel terrible. No overall change in the illness was reported.
