Journey's require change and in this journey changes particularly dietary changes are important. Often when people get Lyme and other co-infections a few things happen. 1.) They develop food sensitivities 2.) the microbes can weaken organ systems, and 3.) as the body heals die off and other toxins are generated. In this process a few things may happen including, nausea, gas/bloating, and a worsening of symptoms after eating a particular food.
Some of the most common culprits are:
On occasion citrus will also be an issue. I have listed the foods in order of importance. The protein found in eggs can be hard to digest and is a common allergen. You might make the choice to switch to gluten free breads and pastries. But beware while they don't contain wheat or gluten they often contain almost every other common food allergen. I often joke that the ingredients in wheat bread are fairly simple - wheat, water, salt, and yeast . . . while gluten free breads contain a laundry list including gums and stabilizers.
Because corn is subject to genetic modification and heavily sprayed with pesticides it is best to steer clear of this food. Even organic corn can have negative health impacts. Be on the look out for added corn starch, corn oil, and xanthum gum - which is corn derived.
Food choices are often tied in with identity and emotional preferences. Therefore making dietary changes can often be a challenge. Diet and food choices are fundamentally tied into health and healing. Making correct food changes during the healing process can greatly speed up recovery. I cannot tell you what to eat but knowledge of healthy food options are widely available. Reducing sugar intake is also very important if not vital to a balanced recovery.
