The one thing I noticed is I used to be so skinny...I'm 5ft 6in and now weigh 113. I used to weight 105.
Previously I had bad parasites which I've been working on for at least a year. I thought once you do these cleanses you loose weight.
I seem to have gone in the opposite direction.
I do tons of pilates and weights...could be the reason.
One thing that's been very prevelant for me is constipation which I seem to have all the time.

Tickalert,
weight gain and constipation could be poor thyroid function....just keep an eye on that.

if you're constipated, i recommend dulcolax. but be prepared to stay close to the toliet.

MY LLMD told me the extra 20 lbs. on my body is from Lyme. Blessings, Just Jan
Posted by Renee K (Member # 21220) on :
I have that same extra 20 since treating Lyme, before treatment lost 40, since treatment gained 50 and can't lose.
My LLMD says nothing...if it is from Lyme why?

The Potbelly Syndrome: How Common Germs Cause Obesity, Diabetes, And Heart Disease (Paperback) - 2005
by Russell Farris and Per Marin, MD, PhD
Remember that lyme really messes up the HPA axis (Hypothalamus/pituitary/adrenal network). The pituitary has much to do with weight/growth. Mess up any part of the endocrine system and other parts suffer, too.
. . . It seems likely that these bacterial species could serve as biological indicators of a developing overweight condition.
Of even greater interest, and the subject of future research, is the possibility that oral bacteria may participate in the pathology that leads to obesity. . . .
