Over these past SEVEN years I've seen several Dr's as I searched for the cause of all my symptoms.
There's ONE common diagnosis, and it's allergies/food intolerance. Last month I had yet again, done the IgG allergy food test. It revealed opposite positive/negatives compared with my previous one done 3 years ago.
At my July appt. when my LLND advised to just try & see if pain is alleviated by eliminating the foods, I'd asked her, "What's the cause of all these intolerances"? I'd also told her that my sister who has Lyme, has the mthfr gene mutation.
So at my next appt w/the LLND, she says, "You need to be treated for mthfr, because it causes an enzyme deficiency alongwith MANY other problems such as inability to detox"!
I've had stomach pain, constipation, so-called G.E.R.D., allergies, IBS etc etc etc my entire life!
It's interesting that my MD, in the past, wanted to solely focus on treating me w/diet change. I'd told her I thought it was Lyme, and she said, "Just because your sister has it, doesn't mean you do, it's not contagious"! Well, the sis & I went camping in the same area several times and have had the same symptoms....sis has the mthfr gene!!!!
Anyhoo, my LLND, and MD both think that IF I had Lyme, that I don't now due to negative Igenix; but I have other problems from the MTHFR gene mutation!
I think that anyone with allergies, intolerance, & of course chronic illness should get tested for this!!!
