The main reason I say no dairy is the great amount of reports from

people who say they improved from removing dairy. I could go on and on

about all the science, but I could find fault in any food or praise.

So, as much as the science says this and that, go with the results. If

after removing dairy for 4 months and then taking it again makes no

difference, than maybe you are fine. We all improved at my house, so I

stick with it. The casien in the dairy is the number one culprit,

followed by the GMO hormones and then the antibiotics, and then the

bacteria it contains. I think that small amounts of some forms of

cheese and yogurts are being tolerated. We use to be heavy milk

drinkers, so it was hard for us, but what can you do. It's better to be

healthy than disabled. I think that avoiding flours is key to the low

carb diet. I used to have severe hypoglycemia. I think ginger root and

turmeric take away my hypoglycemia symptoms. Goji and Acai work when I

have skipped taking the ginger root and turmeric. I can now tolerate

organic and complex carbs. I just can't do much of the flours. I think

non-organic sugar and flours are the worst for hypoglycemia. Rice milk

is fine for me. I use to drink milk to avoid stomach upset as well.

Digestive enzymes help alot with my stomach upset.

Heidi, thank you for bringing up the " no dairy. " Could you please explain

why? It does not seem to be in Buhner's book. My test results for food

allergies turned up wheat and soy, but not dairy.

I had read elsewhere that one should also be on a low-carb diet because the

spirochetes do not thrive well in a slightly acid environment. So I am now

on low-carb (for three months only, because it's not healthy as a long-term

diet) and have tried to eliminate dairy as well, but found it difficult to

do so simultaneously with low-carb. I do not have the financial means to eat

fish or poultry three times a day, and so fall back on small amounts of

low-fat cheese. Also, because I am hypoglycemic and allergic to soy, I

cannot drink rice milk, almond milk, or soy milk. So if I need to take some

supplements between meals, I take them with a few ounces of milk to avoid

stomach upset.

So I am asking two things: (1) What is the reason for avoiding dairy when

healing from Lyme? (2) Do you have any suggestions for how to avoid dairy

when following a low-carb, no-soy diet?
