Hey guys, so I’ve been doing a little research on the Keto diet and I see a lot of mixed reviews on how it helped with Lyme disease and the inflammation it causes.

I’ve seen how reducing the inflammation has brought some people to about 80- 85% better, which would be amazing!!

I’m honestly just so tired of this that I’m willing to try anything. Even if it’s extreme, & cutting almost all of my carbs.

My questions are, is it okay to still take things like antibiotics, binders and other detox medication whilenon this diet? Also, have any of you tried this diet and had any success with it? Thanks

Hi there! please keep us posted with how it goes, I'm very interested as well.

I have been experimenting with intermittent fasting and low carb. Not quite keto, but keto-ish. Really liking it so far, only about 1 month in.

Even though im eating a wide variety of foods, "tested per my blood" diet, I can say I feel better with lower fat meat when that happens.

"gut bugs" dont dine on meat it seams, carbs and sweets they love.

I will add something to this because I obviously believe in testing food to your blood. Its more important than any fad diet. And may explain why one fad diet (or part of it) works for you.

Why?

Good Example:

Even though I like meat and it seams to agree with my gut, my test showed I have a high cytokin "cascade" from..............Turkey!

Crazy, but true, and I could not tell. Cytokins ARE the immune systems reaction to something foreign or inflammatory and build over time, its not sudden like an allergy.

Its had to dive in and try each diet, the ticket is understanding your body and you need tests to accurately do this. Money does not grow on trees, I get that part too. I did several cheap tests before the Leap MRT, even an oxolite test (nuts mostly).

This test was money up front that saves money and time in the future. I put it off way to long.

Of course you should take all your meds and stuff while on it lol. It's a diet and nothing more. It helped me improve 10-15% but I'm still hovering around 75% on average.

This is not correct. The nitrogen and sulfur from animal protein is utilized by gram negative anaerobes and desulfuromas. Reducing carbs only decreases the overgrowth of yeasts which we all seem to have.

I agree with you, but my understanding was that reducing carbs would reduce the populations that feed on them. Not necessarily just overgrowths, etc.

Astroman said - I wasnt to clear, but what I meant by "gut bugs" was candida overgrowth and sibo here, which is a concern with many lymies, and one of which Ive too much experience with and something you can feel symptoms from..
