CFS usually starts after flu-like illness or a period of chronic stress. It is generally defined as having at least four of the following symptoms: profound exhaustion after exercise, impaired memory/concentration, unrefreshing sleep, muscle/joint pain, headaches, tender lymph nodes and recurring sore throat without obvious infection.

CFS patients often have symptoms of irritable bowel (in my experience 100 percent), new onset food allergies and chemical sensitivities, and low blood pressure with dizziness when standing up too quickly. No medications seem to be effective and the success of many nontraditional medicine therapies is limited.

I have had at least these symptoms that were mentioned: profound exhaustion after exercise, impaired memory/concentration, unrefreshing sleep, muscle/joint pain, headaches.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the article proved correct.

Gabes,

I think you're right - if it quacks like a duck . . .

As I've mentioned before, IMO, all of these autoimmune diseases are nothing more than symptoms of gluten and other food sensitivities.

Thanks for the link.

From this article:

Although there are no specific tests for CFS, LGS can be measured by a simple urine test.

Has anyone here had this test for Leaky Gut Syndrome?
