I'm terrible about eating, as well as about eating the proper foods.

I think that if I just had a diet in front of me with recipes, it might be easier for me to eat well and healthily.

Any opinions on any of the Lyme diets like the Lyme Inflammation Diet?

The Lyme Inflammation Diet might be a really good one for you, Margaret. With your UC issues, it might help improve that too!

All I have been told is to avoid dairy, gluten and sugar, I know this can be hard. I try to keep sugar under 5 grams a day, and I avoid anything containing gluten, but Im not on the diet of a celiac, for example if I go out to a restaurant I don't go over board with figuring out if sauces contain gluten or if gluten free items are cooked in the same area as gluten items. I pretty much avoid all dairy. Now as I have been getting better I allow myself something that breaks the diet 1-2 times per few weeks. I notice if I do that too many days in a row though I herx.

This book helped me a lot when I had to change my diet. Their site doesn't have all the recipes, but it has a list of all the recommended foods to eat and avoid. It's separated into phases so you can slowly incorporate foods as you get better. It's a good place to start because for most of us, it feels like we're cutting out 75% of our original diet.

Hope this helps.

Hi all,

Trav., it's certainly a start; we'll see what happens.

Cheetahjade, that's one of the websites I looked at, when I was trying to find dietary advice for LD.

Vinny, I would also avoid soy. Soy, most of which is GMO, can be bad, bad news.

The only problem is, I hate following recipes that are the slightest bit complicated, and I hate washing dishes. What used to be a snap have now become big chores.

So, I just had a cherry smoothie. We'll see what's next . . . .

Diet is something that you should research but take it all with a grain of salt. It's so controversial. Some people are low fat vegan, some people are keto (very low carb), and others are drinking wine and eating whatever they want!

Personally I don't get too worked up over carbs (and actually, they keep me and my thyroid happy), but I do avoid gluten and soy due to my estrogen dominance and celiac. I also avoid eating too many poly-unsaturated fats which oxidize quickly.

Early on I bought a LD diet book, but, like you, Teragram, it was too complicated...

Personally, I find salads and eating very simply the best... When I was sooooo fatigued and herxing I had a freezer full of frozen veggies..
A pot, little water heat and eat.... I know it's not the best, we want organic, raw etc.... But... You need to eat!

Good luck
