    Good article, though it does have some annoying typos.

    Has a gluten free diet helped your symptoms in any way?

    I've made a thread for anyone with throat issues or coughs: https://www.s4me.info/index.php?threads/do-you-have-throat-problems.254/#post-4005

    Do you have throat problems?

    Do you have redness at the back of the throat, a persistent cough, or other problems relating to the same area. I'm posting this thread because of reports and photographs I've seen elsewhere of 'red crescents' at the back of the throat in ME patients. I'm not sure how common this is, but I have...

    Has a gluten free diet helped your symptoms in any way?

    I've had this cough since 1994. The back of my throat is red. I think it's the ME. But I don't see other patients talking about coughs, though I have seen photos showing others having redness at the back of the throat.

    Has a gluten free diet helped your symptoms in any way?

    @Wonko The only reason I tried it was because of the gut issues, which it cleared up dramatically. I think I'd tweeted some research on ME and gluten and then decided to try it out just to see if it stopped a very annoying problem. I'm glad I came off it though because I no longer eat...

    Has a gluten free diet helped your symptoms in any way?

My persistent cough gets worse when I eat sugar foods, and when I'm away from them and on the likes of salads and plainer food, home cooked, my throat seems to improve. The ketogenic diet is a hard one. I'm a pescatarian so I tried it and found it a...

    Has a gluten free diet helped your symptoms in any way?

    I'm just going to add a link to the ME Association on this subject. In an article titled: Why our July ‘Quick Survey’ focuses on Coeliac Disease testing | 2 July 2015 the MEA asked a question on this subject some time ago, giving the following concerns...

    Has a gluten free diet helped your symptoms in any way?

    I'm close to the diet you're talking about, and I found it helpful, but not as dramatically useful as the gluten free diet since that had already sorted out the gut problem. I seem to have lost weight though on the current diet. I eat a lot of salads, and fewer big plates full of brown rice and...

    Has a gluten free diet helped your symptoms in any way?

    Since some people with ME, including myself, have seen some sort of symptom improvement after eliminating gluten/wheat from our diets, it's worth starting a thread here on this subject for those who want to post on this topic. Clearly, giving up gluten does not help many ME patients, but as one...

    Unrest/The Telegraph: Could this documentary change the way we perceive chronic fatigue syndrome?

    It's a very good article. And the psychosomatic person sounded like a bitter loser.

    Using Heart rate monitoring to help with pacing.

    I've heard our AT may be lower than normal. I think I'd start with a lower threshold and see what happens. Maybe making adjustments. But that's just me.
