Looking for a registered dietician/nutritionist that REALLY gets chronic Lyme and side effects from years of antibiotics... In Boston area, but will travel... Any advice is appreciated!

- A naturopathic doctor, one is is lyme "literate" and has gone through the ILADS Physician's Training Program would - in my opinion - likely be much more able to help with nutritional needs.
In my experience, naturopathic doctors (ND) have a much broader education and scope in this area. And one who is LL even better.
Still, the first place you might look is to your local, your area and also your state support group leaders for recommendations. -

Thank you - do you have a suggestion on how to find a LL ND ??? I had great connections in the past - but new to this area, and I don't have any referrals!

- You can find out more about the kinds of education and how they work with nutrients at the organizational web pages.
Most ILADS educated LLMDs also know about LL NDs around and might have recommendations for one.
GUT MICROBIOME is something that a LL ND would certainly address (much more so than most typical dieticians).
For those considering complementary support methods / or other avenues entirely:
Herbal Safety considerations & reference books; etc.
BOOKS - Links to many articles and books by holistic-minded LL doctors of various degrees who all have this basic approach in common:
knowing which methods offer assertive & direct impact, which are only support and which are both. And when to use what, how to combine, & when to step back.
You can compare and contrast many approaches with links to articles, books, methods . . . -

- One thing to consider is that some with lyme might also be undiagnosed celiac. Others who are not still might find some relief from inflammation and bloating with a gluten free food plan.
Links to nutrition / recipe books by LL doctors here, too. -

There is an ILADS provider close to Boston. Her practice is Integrated/Functional Medicine.
Her speciality is treating the effects of chronic disease. Early in her career, she determined that even minimal nutritional interventions made a tremendous difference in her patients health. She also trained under Dr H in N.Y.

There is a nutritionist/certified health coach that is very involved with the Central MA Lyme Foundation. She just did a presentation at their last meeting. http://centralmasslyme.org/Posts: 2386 | From New England | Registered: Aug 2011
