Paleo helps with many

It may be triggered by food sensitivity, so it's definitely worth pursuing. Generally it's good to follow a low GI diet and eat foods that help reduce inflammation, like turmeric.

Low carbohydrate. Avoid sugar and processed foods.
FODMAP diet can help guts.

I'm not aware of any diet that works wonders for treating CFS, haven't found anything that makes much difference for me. I eat a lot of peanut butter sandwiches, easy way to get protein when I'm unable to cook.

I don't think so.
The only things than can help are supplements.
Vit B, Vit D, vit C, MS, magnesium, iron.

clean foods, veggies, low meat, and lots of supplements.

There's lots of talk about different diets, excluding foods, but there's no definitive answer. The sensible thing is to eat healthily and avoid junk food.

If I could still travel, I would go to Open Medicine Foundation in Stanford as global experts & researchers are working collaboratively to find a bio-marker, treatment & cure. Taking just "anything" for relief at this point does more harm than good...but sleep aids & anti inflammatories are a MUST for me. Also an air cooler in my bedroom to keep temps to 6o degrees F. I drink NUUN for electrolytes & vitamins as I can only tolerate liquids such as ENSURE & V8.

I have tried a variety of diets and none of have had any effect on my ME. I would say eat things that make you happy as ME can by accompanied by depression so don't stress diet

Avoid sugars and carbohydrates.
A low carb diet is helping some patients.
Refer to Keto Saved Me a Facebook group which teaches a modified Keto diet (non fat loading)

Healthy regular meals varied diet
Some do paleo or the stone age diet
Mostly its most to cut out the u healthy habits and foods but still msintain a balance

A balanced diet should always be adhered to. Consider reducing calories slightly to account for lack of mobility. Some people develop food sensitivities during this illness. It’s a good idea to discover those sensitivities and meal plan accordingly.

I believe that knowing ahead of time that there is a tendency to get alleries at some point, the patient should watch their diet from the beginning, chosing a mild diet, possibly gluten-free.

Some people do get relief from specific diets.
I know people who saw improvement after adopting the Keto diet or by eliminating wheat.
Eliminating sodas, sugar and caffeine have given me a tiny bit of improvement. Eating lots of fruits, especially berries, and dark green and/or orange vegetables can also help.

the best diet for anyone is clean whole food free of pesticides and GMOs
but it is not a medical treatment
and can only help to somewhat ease symptoms if at all
yet as I said it is very important to health of everyone to eat a clean whole food diet

Posted Apr 6, 2019 by Fadra 2550

There are people with severe food allergies. Others don't eat gluten or diary

Posted Aug 3, 2019 by Jessica 1200

Local, organic/no-spray, non-GMO. Avoid wheat, corn, soy, and dairy unless you are 99.9% sure it is super clean. Filter your water. Eat lots of vegetables and high-quality proteins. I recommend avoiding sugar, caffeine, and any other drugs and stimulants, but use your own judgment.

Posted Dec 12, 2019 by Joanna 6200

Many say the Paleo diet has helped them. Staying away from sugar has also been suggested.

Some people have reported improvements from certain diets such as keto, or histamine free. But there is no diet that works for everyone.
