Living (Well!) with Gastroparesis: Answers, Advice, Tips & Recipes for a Healthier, Happier Life

�About the Author�
Crystal Zaborowski Saltrelli is currently the only Certified Health Counselor specializing in gastroparesis management and one of very few health professionals with both personal and professional experience with the condition. . . .
Now, while this seems to be a fabulous holistic source on this topic, the author is not a lyme specialist. Nor may she know about food restrictions necessary during lyme & TBD (tick-borne disease) treatment. She may, but do find out.
I've not read the book as I do not deal with this issue (very much?) but I was frustrated to find just awful fake foods being marketed to those with this problem.
We can do way better than that, I thought. This author seems to really get that.
Just bear in mind that even her book may need some tweaking for those with lyme & TBD.

The Physician as a Patient: Lyme Disease, Ehrlichiosis, and Babesiosis � A Recounting of a Personal Experience with Tick-Borne Diseases
Excerpt:
. . . Child victims of Lyme are particularly vulnerable gastroenterologically.
They usually have been labeled as school-avoidant whiners, truants, or chronic complainers.
A child's academic future may be jeopardized at an early age by the stomach distress of tick-borne disease, the resultant inability to focus cognitively and frequent absenteeism from school.
The classic paper here is �Gastrointestinal Pathology in Children with Lyme Disease� by Drs. M. Fried, P Duray, and D. Petrucha, Joumal of Spirochetal and Tick-borne Diseases, Vol. 3, No. 2 June 1996. . . . -

- What's REALLY in your food - or even your "medical food"?
. . .This week I stumbled upon PlantFusion Plant Protein Powder, which fits all of the above requirements. And I�m loving it! . . .
. . . PlantFusion is vegan, soy-free, dairy-free, and gluten-free. It offers complete protein, which means it contains the essential amino acids (the ones our bodies cannot make). . . .
Each scoop has 1.5 grams of fat, 1 gram of fiber, and 21 grams of plant-based protein.
one reader comment: ------------------------
I actually work for PlantFusion. Im really glad you like our product. We spent countless hours coming up with a super nutrient dense formula that sits well and taste delicious.
Last summer we go rid of the brown rice, and added sprouted organic quinoa and amaranth.
Making it an even better protein supplement. Depending on you area we should be in most independent health food stores, as well as the bigger chains (whole foods, vitamin shoppe, sprouts, sunflower, etc).
PlantFusion is available in 4 flavors- Vanilla Bean, Chocolate, Chocolate Raspberry, and Unflavored
My one concern would be the amount of Glutamic Acid (L-Glutamine), which can help heal stomach lining but can be over stimulating for some people, especially those with lyme.
The Excitotoxin link in previous post has detail about effects of L-Glutamine for those with neurological issues.
Magnesium & Taurine can help balance that effect. And, in this formula, it may be that other ingredients might balance it.
Though most HEMP PROTEIN POWDERs can be bit rustic in the grind, some can be found in a very fine powder, too. -
