Babesia and Pancreatitis?

I have had Lyme (Borrelia/Bartonella/Babesia) for 31 years, but not properly diagnosed for 27 years...
The hang-up for me we realized that the Babesia is the worst "offender." I have also had a history of Pancreatitis that they can't explain - I barely drink, avoid gluten, eat organically, etc, and all scans come back normal I have been hospitalized 5 times, with about 15-20 attacks. I haven't had a new attack in 2 years.

What I am wondering is that I just read that they have positively associated pancreatitis in dogs with Babesia -

I am wondering if anyone else has had the same issue?

Dr F has said that he believes that biofilms from protomyxzoa rheumatica can physically obstruct blood flow to the pancreas. He has postulates that this can effect or even contribute to diabetes. It would not be outlandish to see how this could cause pancretitis. I'd go on a low fat diet and see if that helped.

Have you learned anything new?

Welcome to our community, vbourbour!

Do you have lyme disease...and pancreatitis?

Feel free to share your story.
The original poster has not been on the forum since that first post over a year ago.

Since you are new here, it would be helpful for you to take a look through the thread at the top of the page titled: 'New to Lyme?...Start Here!" It's packed full of useful information.

So sorry about this!

What are symptoms of pancratitis? My son and I both have Babs and want to know what to look for.

GH,

When you say low fat diet do you mean good fats too - like avocado, olive oil, coconut oil?

Gr8tful I hope you are feeling better now - sorry you were misdiagnosed for so very long.

We can't survive without fats, so when eating a low fat diet, only the good fats need to be eaten. Unfortunately, even the good fats are utilized by the pathogen to make biofilms. No fat would be great but that is not sustainable.

Christa (Justin and Christa) - went on a no-fat diet for her FL1953 treatment.

She was absolutely delirious while on the no-fat diet. I can't remember what else she did.

But, she finally healed.

(Christa is a Canadian who suffered for several years...her husband, Justin put their 'story' together - with photos, and video clips. She is well...I think it was at least 3 years of battling...maybe more...can't remember. very moving story )
