Burning Eyes From Sugar?

mI can't even begin to tell you how busy I am. I have quick updates - My youngest daughter, celine, for those of you who remember I was treating for leftover lyme/bart seems to be fine now. Her rashes went away, bedwetting gone. So far so good. I treated her with A-Bart, Cat's Claw and JKW for about 9 months. Fingers crossed that was long enough. Time will tell I guess.

My oldest i had to retreat again with both Cat's claw and JKW and this time I introduced ABart to her as well and she is herxing from it - so it looks like I have another mountain to climb with her.

My son is fine so far, he got a Tdap booster, and didnt react from it, so I think he is good to go. Just complains of a stomach ache now and again so I have him on probiotics regularly.

Me - still battling Candida, but my strength has increased, and shoulder pain diminished since I started retreating Candida and exercising again. I will post a more detailed update, but for now, what the heck is this burning eye thing?

It has been happening on and off for almost a year. If I eat too much sugar (had my daughter's bday cake today), my eyes burn for hours afterwards. Does anyone know why and what could be happening?

Thanks!

i am admitting I couldn't resist my daughter's icecream bday cake!

chapelle have u tried taking saccharomyces boulardii for your candida? it should really help

Chapelle -

Yes, a little cake can feed a gigantic yeast/fungal surge. I have another suggestion for you - email me. Burning eyes was one of my very clear y/f or biofilm sx.

Also, knowing it was ice cream cake, could suggest another issue. There are tons of chemicals in processed ice cream (which barely resembles real ice cream) and one of them is pretty bad - I can't remember what it's called - google it. Anyway, it can cause all sorts of problems--mostly GI.

And last, I noticed that only when I addressed biofilms did my typical yeast/fungal issues get resolved entirely. And I notice an increase in some of these sx whenever I have dairy and I THINK it's a biofilm issue, not a y/f issue but not sure. It could be y/f living within biofilms and so they go hand-in-hand in some ways.

Sorry I did not see that post of yours. I would have a LOT to add. I shared some of my experiences in the Y/FO post in the "New to Lyme?" thread:
www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=1606610&g=3644275#m3644275

As you described, the y/f and biofilms can originate in the gut and grow up the throat and into the head. I had quite a few eye problems, including the increased "gunk" when I would wake up in the AM. Your tear ducts help flush debris out of your eye as you're sleeping, and that is what causes the normal "sleep" that you wake up with in the corner of your eye. However, the y/f and biofilms can really grow overnight and this is usually the cause of the crusty and gooey gunk we can wake up with.

And the "peeling" - it's not skin peeling off, it's the y/f or biofilm. It grows out of the orifices (eyes, ears, nose, mouth, genitals...and belly button) and is either killed with soap use or the skin airing out (and sometimes continues to grow in folds of skin or on moist skin - which can frustrate sports enthusiasts or people who sweat a lot). I read an article awhile back about a woman who was diagnosed with stomach or GI cancer - because of the y/f or biofilm growing out of her bellybutton - the article didn't identify exactly what it was (probably because MDs had no clue - they never understand this stuff) but it looked like flakey dry skin or a dry film flaking off, none of which is supposed to be there! It was one of my red alarm sx when I first started out.

And yes, MDs are CLUELESS about this. All of it.
