Re: TO GAIN WEIGHT/ stop weight loss on a protein diet, you need 5-7k KCALS daily, not 1, not 2, not 3 not even 4!!!

Anna,
Listen,
The other poster who gave you the advice to find a Lyme literate Dr gave you an strong advice. You should do that and also find a holistic MD. Don't go to an extreme severe diet now but don't eat Sugar and refined carbohydrates. Eat as healthy as possible and get the colories you need. Try to take a CDSA to see how your bacterial ecology is and a Candida Immunecomplexes in blood. If you don't tolerate lactose since 11 y/o, you should also take a fecal IGA antigliadin from Enterolab.com. This is going to give you an answer if you need to avoid gluten. The lactase enzyme is created in the microvilli, and a lactose intolerance can be the first sign of villi damage because reacting to gluten. This process can take years to show up. Another important thing, very important, don't take Antibiotics without to take antifungals. Since you are ill, a systemic drug couldn't be adviced now but a polyene which don't affect the liver is totally safe. Nystatin Powder 750 000 units 3 or 4 times a day is a good option. Also, you can take Threelac, 2 packets a day during all this time. I wish you may best and becareful with MDs. Most of them don't believe in an intestinal overgrowth and don't know how to treat it. Don't make the mistake of taking more Antibiotics without to stop candida in any form.
My best,
Jorge. Tweet
