So I noticed I had no problems until my Lyme symptoms started with gluten. I self diagnosed myself with gluten intolerance and cut it out f my diet two years ago way before I knew about the Lyme. Turns out my hunch was right as many people with Lyme can't tolerate gluten.

So I guess I'm curious to know for those of you that had gluten intolerance due to Lyme. And have since recovered from it...are you able to eat gluten again???

I miss it dearly ;)

I'm not fully recovered...but getting there. However I cheated the other day and today and had some crackers (Cheez Its to be exact) and veggie sticks that have gluten in them and I was fine! No swollen throat, no nasty gut...and there are others that will chime in but I do know I will limit it a lot once I'm totally recovered after doing so much research on it. Plus there is so much out there that you can eat that is gluten free!

But there is hope my dear...hang in there. I know I'm missing my NY Style Pizza, Mexican food and Italian food!

I'm trying to cut Gluten and dairy out of my diet, but I'm not sure I even have an intolerance. I don't feel bad after eating it. Sometimes I may feel a little tired after eating, but not always. The dairy I guess is supposed to cause inflammation, but if I don't have pain as one of my symptoms, and my inflammation test(ANA? Or whatever one it is)doesn't show any inflammation in my body do I really have to avoid dairy?

I think it's more that even if you aren't gluten intolerant it's just good in general to cut it out if you have Lyme (and its really healthy for you we were just raised on all things wheat). Anyways I believe I have read multiple articles that the Lyme and coinfection bacteria actually feed off of gluten (wheat), dairy and sugar. So a lot of people cut them out completely. I've cut everything out but sugar. It's all I have left!!! Lol but I do try to stick to fruits for natural sugar. It's hard but if it starves those little ****ers out faster then I'm all for it lol
