Hi all,

I have a positive Igenex Lyme test and am scheduled to see a LLMD in April. However, I was wondering if I should go ahead and start a probiotic and some vitamin C. Could anyone recommend good ones ? Just this week I found a probiotic cultured dairy beverage from Costco name Cool Plus but just noticed it has 10 grams of sugar and I am pretty sure the dairy part is not good now. 

I have already start a Low-Carb diet.

What else should I be doing ?

Hi Puppylove! I'm sorry you're sick, but I'm glad you were able to find us.

Have you checked out the thread at the top of the forum page that days " New to Lyme? Start here!"? It has a ton of really good info.

Yes, definitely take a probiotic! I take 2 s. boulardi at lunch, then some Green Vibrance (a green drink powder that contains probiotics) 2 hours after the evening's dose of abx, then a Therelac at bedtime. Every other day I take an Ultimate Flora, too.

I don't take anything for Vitamin C, but I do recall another member here recommending rose hips, because it is a natural form of Vitamin C . Maybe someone else can weigh in on that.

Oh, I forgot this part. I take a couple of tablespoons of kefir, too. You might want to try that. It has probiotics in it as well. Just get a plain, unsweetened kind.

Hi puppylove! Welcome to the forum. I'd suggest that you start reading through the "New to Lyme?...Start Here!" thread at the top of the page if you haven't yet. You can learn more about Lyme disease, diet, detoxing (very important), and other things. Yes, starting some probiotics would be good to do. Look for some in a natural foods store, in the cooler section of the supplement area. You can drink kefir or komubucha too, which have a lot of probiotics. A lot of people use the green drink 'Green Vibrance' , so you could add that or another good brand. It helps with detoxing and has it has some needed nutrition to help you through treatments.

That's about all my sleep head came up with for now. I hope your LLMD is a good one so you can start moving ahead soon. Keep us posted on how it goes.

I take Klaire Labs THER-BIOTIC COMPLETE. It's very good but expensive. It's 72.00 for 120 caps, and I am not sure where to get it. I got mine through my Dr., but it has a great variety.

Thank you all for responding! I am taking notes and have read new to lyme start here. I got everything at the store yesterday and I am going to start my first detox bath today.
