I have been gluten free , dairy free , sugar free, caffeine free , alcohol free for about a year now I have lost a ton of weight but I am finding it definitely helps. It is hard but when you know what your eating is making you sick it's an easy choice. For all those desperate I suggest giving it a try. It cleared my brain fog and helped me get back to work. Just curious anyone that is really struggling have you evaluated your diet?

I have really cleaned up my diet since lyme diagnosis. I can definitely feel the difference when I abandon it and eat gluten and sugar.

Good for you - sticking to it and seeing such great results!

I was diagnosed with Lyme in 2013 but have been gluten free since 2005. My Lyme is chronic and neuro so I've had it much longer than my dietary change. I've been Paleo since 2010 and sugar free (including most fruit) for a couple of years now. Since I've made changes long before my diagnoses, I'm not sure how much it has helped but I know I could be worse...

Even more important than your diet is to replenish the lost nutrients that borrelia and the other pathogens take from us. Most of the pathogens don't have processes to metabolize nutrients so they just steal them from us. When our nutrient levels drop to a certain point, we have problems.
