Health & Nutrition Club
for people with ME/CFS, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia


Gut Health
Conditions like ME/CFS and Long Covid can have an impact on gut function leading to such conditions as intestinal permeability (leaky gut), small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We have a range of resources and nutrition tips to help people improve gut health and reduce SIBO or IBS symptoms.


Long COVID, gut health, and immunity: understanding the connection and how nutrition can help
Research shows that the gut plays a central role in both the persistence of symptoms and recovery in Long Covid. Recent research highlights how chronic inflammation and gut dysbiosis — an imbalance of gut microbes — contribute to Long COVID’s systemic effects. Fortunately, evidence also suggests that targeted dietary strategies may help to restore gut balance and strengthen immune resilience.

Fructose and oxidative stress
Fructose is a sugar found in fruit and honey and also in some processed foods and sweetened drinks like coke. It sounds harmless, but eating too much fructose can be damaging, particularly in conditions like ME/CFS, Long Covid and Fibromyalgia.
Unlike glucose, fructose is absorbed in the liver and the particular way it is metabolised leads to mitochondrial stress, fat accumulation, inflammation and reduced energy levels.
