Last March my LLMD diagnosed my Lyme with HHV-6 and 2 other co-infections. Like the everyone else on this board I was just plain sick. My systems were shutting down. The good LLMD ordered ABX and also diagnosed food allergies to Gluten, Dairy, Peanuts, and a couple other items. I was also sensitive to yeast. After just a few days of total elimination of Gluten, sugar, and the other food allergy items the severe joint pain all but vanished. The doctor also prescribed Nystatin to kill off the yeast in my system. Sugar feeds yeast not Lymes. We are all on so many ABX our normal flora are destroyed. These normal flora normally keep the yeast in our bodies in check. However, in their absence the yeast go crazy. Their growth process creates neurotoxins in our body. So once the yeast were controlled I had to complete a regime to eliminate the neurotoxins. I feel the elimination of Gluten and my other food allergies was just as important to my healing process as the ABX. Please get tested for food allergies. Dr. V explained it this way. Your immune system is analogous to a big bucket with a small hole in the bottom. As water is poured into the bucket the hole eliminates the water slowly. However, Lymes and it's co-infections flood your system, the bucket, and the small hole in your bucket is unable to clear out the bucket. So if your immune system is free to fight lyme versus the food allergies and yeast, from sugar, your bucket has a chance of keeping up with the flood of disease. I wish everyone better healthier days ahead. And by all means get tested for food allergies. On the bright side of Gluten free I've lost 33 pounds easily. |
