O.M.G.O.S.H.-I'M freeeeaking out!

I had a follow-up w/My ND today to discuss M.R.I. results, food allergy test, & chelation for heavy metals.

So 1st of all, since my M.R.I. was totally clear, and Lyme test last Feb. Was negative my LLND says, "I don't think you have Lyme OR M.S." However, she's kept me on their own in-house Lyme tincture!!!

I'm relieved that my M.R.I. was clear, of course, so I ask her,"why do I still have muscle aching, spasms, twitching, joint pain AND stiffness, fatigue, extreme mood issues, balance issues, brain fog/poor concentration, short term memory probs, skin crawling sensation/itching, monthly headaches, neck crackles, digestive issues, and blurry eyes"???

Her answer, "Your food allergies/intolerance are causing a systemic inflammatory response!!!
IM SO PISSED, now I can't eat beef, pork, OR chicken. She said "you can eat fish"! Yah RIGHT-not due to my high mercury I STILL HAVE! She said, "you can eat beans"-Uh no those are 'red' also. SHE says, "You can have dairy now, as it shows 0 response"-well, of course I didn't have any antibody response to dairy since I'VE BEEN OFF DAIRY! When I asked what CAUSES the antibody response, she just stared at me.

Has anyone had symtoms totally clear up JUST BY removing offending foods?

I can't do this-the only thing my diabetic husband, my kids, family & foodie friends, ever eats is beef, pork, & chicken. So now I have like nothing in common to share w/people! What the heck?

I don't have hardly ANY food options left-I might as well starve TO DEATH-UHG!

I just found that for someone else. If you are not in the 15 states that are regulated maybe you need to find another Dr. 41 is Lyme specific and IND means that your body is creating antibodies, just not enough yet to be all the way to positive.

We know some foods cause inflammation but eliminating everything from your diet isn't a cure. She seems to not have the knowledge so that's her answer. You know your body better.

Hi sweetpea,

I agree with sayyadina that it's time to see another doctor (for some reason I don't agree that certain foods are causing your problems).

You posted "I ask her why do I still have muscle aching, spasms, twitching, joint pain AND stiffness, fatigue, extreme mood issues, balance issues, brain fog/poor concentration, short term memory probs, skin crawling sensation/itching, monthly headaches, neck crackles, digestive issues, and blurry eyes"???

All those symptoms sound like toxin overload to me. Are you detoxing? When lyme bacteria die off the neuro toxin Ammonia is left over and ammonia can cause so much havoc...

Hope you feel better and get some answers,

Sorry Sweetpea that your doctor has let you down, my LLMD disappointed us as well. It seems that some of them can't cure their patients unless it is just a simple case of Lyme if there is such a thing.

Something has to be causing those food allergies and it still could easily be Lyme. Try doing a lot of detoxing and see what happens. My doc never mentioned detoxing either and that is a big reason why we fired her. Detoxing is just as important as killing the bugs.

Foods can absolutely cause a ton of issues if your body is making antibodies to them. Absolutely. We deal with EoE and both my kids are off of dairy, wheat, soy, egg, nuts and fish. And my son is off of poultry, pork, (just added in beef), plus 25+ other foods. If my 10 year old can do it, you can too!!!! Hang in there!

FYI the antibody response induces a cascade of inflammatory chemicals. It's the reason out total ige dropped from 900 to 600ish by eliminating all skin and serum positive foods. Have you had a fresh round of skin /serum testing?
