a lot of things can cause that - as the gut and its mucosa are around 70% of the immune system
it's also how our immune systems are reprogrammed to adjust to our changing environment.
so if you upset one you get the other
I have not seen a forum on this particular combination - but most functional health experts spend a good deal of time talking about and testing the gut - as a route out of chronic illness. people like Chris Kresser come to mind so you could start there - he has become quite commercial - but there is lots of free information on his site that I think is basically sound.
on the other hand, Bartonella causes both of these things ( i have this also ) and so you could already be in the right place

I am interested in learning about this connection. Hernia, GERD, indigestion, and acid with regurg. I also have trouble digesting red meat. My son told me that he read an article that claimed there was a tick disease that caused this.

spookdew, can you give us more information on what article your son might have been reading and/or what the tick disease was.
I'm also having a lot of gut issues.

lymenotlite - I found these links about meat allergies & tick bites in previous posts here on Lymenet. Don't know if they were what you were looking for.
You could also google "Meat Allergies and Tick Bites"" for more information.

Lymenotlite, my son read that article a few years ago when I first started having digestive problems with red meat so I don't remember and I'm sure he wouldn't but I do remember it was the Lone Star tick.

Thanks for the information, spooky and hoping. Meat allergies - what next?
Right now I'm thinking I have some kind of parasitic issue. When my gut is bothering me and I then ingest a green black walnut hull capsule, or take a couple of drops of Biocidin, it really helps relieve the gut pain. The caps and drops ar for parasites.

Post about immunity and digestion and I was wondering if that would have anything to do with someone else's post about MCAS?
Posted by lymenotlite (Member # 33166) on :
Parasites can seriously impede digestion, and so immunity, and I think that is what I've been dealing with.
I have not been in the Lone Star tick area but who knows? I do not rule anything out. The gut parasite thing only coalesced recently so that is the trail I'm following for now.
Will keep meat allergies in mind for future experimentation. I do appreciate the information.
