Hi WordKeeper,
Have you been tested for food allergies and genetic issues?
A saliva test will tell you if what you are experiencing is really adrenal fatigue, or if it's something else. A genetic marker test can show gluten sensitivity. There is also a stool test that will rule out parasites.
I'd recommend doing all of these (find a qualified nutirionist/naturopath who can help you get these tests and read them properly) before jumping right into trying to fix it.
In my case, I had every symptom of adrenal fatigue, but the saliva test showed problems digesting food and getting nutrients from it. Taking 5 enzyme pills with every meal is a night and day difference for me.
My boyfriend had similar fatigue issues, but a different problem; the naturopath gave him a different supplement and he feels much better now, too.
I have said this before and I will say it again: Do not rely on the Internet to diagnose yourself! I learned this the hard way and went through months of needless exhaustion. Get tested. Yes, it costs money, but it's the only way to know for sure what you have--and once you have the test results in hand, you can work out a non-prescription, natural way to fix your problems.
