Hi Clems Mom!
Although I do see the reasons for being on a restricted diet because of Lyme Disease, but not everyone does well on one. I don't and there are a small handful of other members that have commented before that they just don't do well on those diets.
It seems like as with the best treatment for an individual is as unique as they are, so is their dietary needs. Losing too much weight will neither help you fight off these infections or keep you from getting any more ill.
Maybe you should modify your diet? I'll be waiting to see what others say about
this subject as well - even though losing weight is not an issue for me!!
