    The Norwegian ME Association's report on severe ME

    I spoke ahead of myself, I forgot how long it was so even if he wants to help he thinks it might be too big a job. After we get all information from university about covid19 and how it will affect courses/workload we'll see what's doable. It would also be nice to know if something has already...

    A Low Glutamate Diet Improves Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Gulf War Illness, 2020, Kirkland et al.

    Many react to fermented foods due to histamine, it's not straightforward in the least to figure out *what* in the food one is reacting to. There are the obvious candidates, but could also be something else. Gets even worse if it's a group of similar compounds you can find in many foods. Or many...

    A Low Glutamate Diet Improves Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Gulf War Illness, 2020, Kirkland et al.

    Now I feel a few things are mumbled together. Glutamine can be turned into glutamate, but also the other way around. If a "high glutamate diet" equals a high processed diet, more things are changed when reducing glutamate than "just" reducing glutamate. You could potentially have high...

    A Low Glutamate Diet Improves Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Gulf War Illness, 2020, Kirkland et al.

    If the diet used in this study is the same as here: https://www.clinexprheumatol.org/abstract.asp?a=5359 I'd say they changed a lot more in their diets than glutamate.. Participants were asked to limit consumption of items high in glutamate, and the list of "high glutamate" food is mostly low...

    A Low Glutamate Diet Improves Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Gulf War Illness, 2020, Kirkland et al.

    I have access through my university to the paper without using scihub, and I'm still only getting the abstract. It's the same as the pdf abstract available on pubmed. Ingestion of glutamine or glutamate? Glutamate/glutamine metabolism is closely linked as one can be turned into the other. Low...

    A Low Glutamate Diet Improves Cognitive Functioning in Veterans with Gulf War Illness, 2020, Kirkland et al.

    Seems only the abstract is currently available. I'm not so sure about using MSG as a way to increase diet glutamate content in this setting, and I would very much like to know what the "reduced glutamate" diet actually looked like. In any case, I am pretty certain glutamate can be reduced...

    Implementing psychological therapies for gastrointestinal disorders in pediatrics, 2020, Reed et al

    I would like to see a focus on nutrition and gut health in psychological studies.. but it seems the microbiome-gut-brain axis is more often used to support the opposite approach.

    A Proposal for Explaining Progression from Light/Moderate to Severe Chronic Fatigue, 2020, Höck

    I'm a bit annoyed that the omega 3 supplement I'm taking has increased the vitamin D dosage to 40 mcg. I haven't had any problems with hypercalcemia but like you others might. I really like the supplement for other reason, but whyyy. More is not always better. Although for most people vitamin D...

    A Proposal for Explaining Progression from Light/Moderate to Severe Chronic Fatigue, 2020, Höck

    Can't say I've noticed any difference when my vitamin D levels have been lower than they are now (last I checked they were 80 nmol/L, I do want them >75 nmol/L but if there is any benefit to that it is only present in certain circumstances so it might not matter). If it is sunshine that's the...

    Evidence for a genetic component in ME/CFS - discussion thread

    Thanks for making a thread collecting all the different studies. I finally got around to annotating my genome data so I was thinking I'd look for SNPs that have shown up previously, but haven't had time to go looking for the studies. My lone data isn't worth a lot, but it's interesting for...
