She has had lyme (10yrs ago) and is a very difficult patient. I try and bring up Lyme to her and she doesn’t believe it is still an issue or Candida.
I posted about her before. She had surgery that left her with half a stomach from ulcers. She was fine after surgery. Now 3 yrs later
She is with another small ulcer and down to 79lbs.
She has been on a TPN for 6 weeks give or take a still at 79lbs.
I feel there are most underlying issues.
Yeast? Lyme? Parasites?
Can these cause her not to gain any weight?
sigh- HELP

Thanks TuTu Posted by Razzle (Member # 30398) on :
Ulcers are known to be caused by infection - h. pylori is the most common infectious cause, but other infections can also cause ulcers.
All of the above - Lyme/coinfections, yeast/candida, and parasites - can all cause problems with gaining or losing weight.

I second what Razzle said.
79 #s??!! Whoa, that is truly scary! I hope that she sees the light and will address it properly. When people we care about won't, it is very painful and frustrating. But we can't make them do so. I have had way too many family and friends die instead. I truly hope the outcome is better here.
