Allotmenteer Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 My Lyme doctor says I have a form of dysautonomia caused by the nerve endings in my stomach overreacting to what I eat; this is the cause of my multiple allergies and food intolerances. Anyone recognise this? It's not something Prof Mathias tested me for, so she's going to do more tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I don't recognize this from my own experience, but my cousin has been very ill for about 5 years with out of control allergies, and food intolerances. She also has Lyme disease. For awhile, she was down to eating only boiled chicken and boiled potatoes, poor thing. She cannot tolerate many chemicals in the air though, like perfume, the smell of somebody's deodorant, air freshener. She passes out often and quickly. She hasn't gotten any solid answers but she keeps trying different doctors, treatments and tests of course. It will be interesting to see what they come up with for you!

ramakentesh Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 From what I understand and my knowledge is pretty limited on this topic, the idea is that chronic lyme either causes various neuropathic issues or catalyses a chronic autoimmune disease that does that.POTS can (apparently) occur as a neuropathy exclusive to the stomach vasculature.
