Is the SIBO test similar to testing for h pylori? If so, I've had 2 of these done since October and both were negative...
Yes, your GP can. The best SIBO test are done at a facility or hospital, but you can order this through Genova as well. Also, the stool testing can be ordered by your dr. I live in a state where I...
According to the CDC and igenex, it is. According to my LLND it indicates a positive result...
I'll look into it with my doctor. Thank you! Do you know if a GP will do these type of tests as I don't have an LLMD...
these were the results from igenex IFA 80 IgM western blot 18 + 23-25 IND 28 - 30 - 31 IND 34 - 39 IND 41 ++ 45 - 58 + 66 + 83-93 IND IgG 18 - 23-25 - 28 - 30 - 31 - 34 - 39 - 41 ++ 45 ++ 58 ++ 66 -...
Thanks all! Pirouette, my first symptom back in October was the constant belching and stomach issues. January I began getting joint pain, muscle pain, weird feeling in my head, shooting nerve pain,...
I haven't started my treatment yet. I have another week left to try to clear this excessive burping with herbals before I start the herbal Lyme treatment so I don't think it's related to the herbal...
How can I get rid of yeast in my gut?...
Anyone have constant burping, like all day everyday you feel you need to burp. Also, mild to severe pelvic pain most days?...
Makes sense. I was going through a stressful period back in January/February and that's when my symptoms began. If only we lived in a perfect world :) Thanks for all the information you constantly...
The LLND I visited mentioned that the infection seems to be quite recent (6-8 months or so) and that typically some don't feel any symptoms for years. Is it common to get these initial symptoms and...
Hi everyone, me again :) So I went to see a LLND last week. After he looked through my test results he mentioned that although they are negative that in his interpretation the results are very...
Yes, of course. Thanks again for all your help :)...
Some of these I have already been doing but I will incorporate the others into my day. The Doctor my GP is sending me is known to treat patients with Lyme buy I'm unsure whether he will accept me as...
Is there anything I can do in the meantime while I wait for an appointment with the Doctor my GP is sending me to? Could be a couple of months and I don't want to risk these symptoms getting worse...
80 positive...
Thank you both for your advice and input! What does IFA 80 mean? I started acupuncture about 2 months after the initial symptoms and that's probably the reason that I'm still functioning. At the...
I recently received my Lyme test results from igenex and I'm hoping that someone can help me interpret them while I wait for my appointment with a doctor who can IFA 80 IgM western blot 18 + 23-25...
I am still waiting for my test results from igenex. It's been almost 2 weeks since I sent them in. I'm assuming that by next week I should have them. I haven't started any treatment yet....
Very strange but over the last 2 weeks some of my initial symptoms have disappeared but now I have abdominal and pelvic pain. It comes and goes throughout the day and at some moments can be quite...
Thank you for the well wishes, right back at you! This community has been so helpful...
Hi Laker, I have been numerous times to the doctor in the last few months and this last time when I mentioned Lyme, he explained how the tests performed here in Canada are highly inaccurate and...
Hi Denise, Thank you for your reply. I'm sorry to hear that you have been affected so badly by Lyme. I checked the symptom list and I can say that I have some of the symptoms listed. I know that you...
Thank you GTAmom. I will be in touch should I need to get in contact with an LLND. Has the naturopathic route helped you?...
Thank you Pete. I do not recall getting bitten by a tick, although I did spend a lot of time in wooded areas last summer just north of Toronto. one time specifically I came home with at least 20-30...
I am a 31 year old female. About 4 months ago I started getting pain in my back. This lasted quite a few weeks and during this time I went to the doctor a few times and a physiotherapist but to no...
