The thing with that encephalitis is that it really knocked me for a six. Affected all my organs. It has had me so depressed because I have not been digesting my food properly, especially any protein. That means it sits in my gut, attracts bacteria and I get bloated. And gain weight. 1 1/2 kilograms every weekend (when I eat less overall, but bigger meals).

But supplementing with betane has changed this so much (under the guidance of my nutritionalist). I don't feel nauseous after eating anymore and can exercise less than 2 hours after eating without ending up worse.
