Ive been thinking of taking a break from the protocol for a week or two and doing instead a parasite cleanse because I have sever bloating and crave sugar and carbs bad, overeat more than I have ever at times, like I never feel full? It sounds very parasitic :-/

but not sure if that is a good idea to do a parasite cleanse because my NP said I shouldn't before I'm cured of Lymes because she said the parasites could come back? But it could take years to be healed of the Lymes and I am starting to question her suggestions.

Does anyone out there know about this?

Hi tickonboard -

I think there can be a link between yeast/fungal overgrowth and parasite overload but you might also simply have yeast/fungal overgrowth. The severe bloating, cravings, appetite issues are very common sx.

The parasite cleanses can be a little hard on the body. They're also a little difficult to test for unless you know what to look for.

Have you read the yeast/fungal overgrowth info in the "New to Lyme?" thread? This might help you understand what the symptoms might mean and how better to rule out a possible y/f overgrowth.

Read through it (it's long - sorry! but there's a lot of info involved) and let us know if you have any specific questions and maybe we can help you more specifically.

I treated fungal first as this is all that I knew and suspected at the time.

The yeast overgrowth can attract insects which are known vectors to bite you as they feed on fungi and are attracted to it.

These bites are what often leads to other bacterial infections and increase potential for nematode larvae to be injected with the bite.

Every bite that is not treated properly can result in the parasite infections due to this.

A strong immune system will often fend off the parasite infection. In a weakened state dissemination is more likely.

I began the anti parasite protocol after getting yeast under control and have immensely improved overall and started heading towards recovery.

But the bacterial infections came with it and I was not aware.

Since bacteria multiply more rapidly than either, it should be addressed initially along with the yeast.

Then followed by parasite protocol as these multiply more slowly than the others, but can lead to further production of bacteria through symbiotic relationships with them if an infection is not addressed resulting in continual bacteria production leading to relapse.

There is often much to address, the longer you wait the increased potential for new infections.
