I have taken a year's worth of various antibiotics, and have stopped taking these fora variety of reasons (including trying to have a baby). I am now determined to control my chronic Lyme through diet, etc. That being said, I am confused.... I see a lot of diets addressing candida, but I am not sure that I have any yeast issues. If I do, they are not obvious ones. Do I still follow the no sugar diet for Lyme symptoms? Please advise any way you can..... I am not finding much guidance on this. Thanks!

Hi,
If you have chronic lyme than diet is very important whether or not you are on abx.
Think arthirtis diet/diabetic type diets, omitting sweeteners except for Stevia as they are toxic and have seen articles where aspartame and such can cause lyme like symptoms.
A popular diet is the blood type diet which as been benefical to me, concentrating on the diverstity of the diet and not overloading on protein.
i would still watch your sugar as they feed the keets and unforuatnly this has been hard for me but our diet should be good for life, with supplementation etc.

Candida is very debilitating for us. You can easily have it and not know it.
Becoming a health nut is difficult, but will increase your quality of life.
Take it from someone who loves sugar, cigarettes, and prepared foods (that I don't have to cook). I had to give all those up last year.
If possible, make an appointment with a nutritonist and begin settling into a diet that leaves out sugars, starches and processed foods like white flour.
It is hard, but worth it!!!
