Long term fatigue and brain fog caused by gut issues?
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to understand if my chronic brain fog and fatigue are caused by underlying gut problems. Brain fog dates back from when I was a teenager, if not earlier.
I'm 36m. I did a GI mapping in November of last year. Results were (i) h pylori infection (ii) methane SIBO (iii) leaky gut (iv) depleted gut immunity (v) and dysbiotic bacteria.
I've been doing a restrictive diet since end of January to address those issues. An integrative doctor told me which diet to follow and gave me a supplement regimen.
Initially, I had more vivid dreams. Stool consistency got better after 2.5 months. Early on I had less intestinal gaz.
I don't see any improvement in fatigue and brain fog. There have been a few days where I had better energy and focus, but I've had experiences in the past where fatigue and focus were a bit better at times too.
In your experience, does it make sense to continue the diet and is there a chance that chronic fatigue and brain fog are caused by gut issues?
Thanks :)
