Lyme disease can present with primarily gastro intestinal pain and diarrhea. It wouldn't be that common to have ONLY that symptom, however.

Cystic Fibrosis has other symptoms, but I know that this was the first thing we ruled out before testing for celiac. Failure to thrive and diahrrea are 2 biggies with this, The other symptoms that might suggest this are respiratory problems and salty skin. I lost 2 brothers and 1 sister to CF and now that my son was diagnosed with celiac, I kinda wondered if my brothers and sister could have had celiac in addition to CF, and we never knew. Dont' these two co-exist sometimes? Celiac is brand new to me, so I'm still trying to put everything together.

      Wow Im a tea drinker and didn't know, perhaps this is why im having issues with my ghost disease.

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!
    • stephaniekl
      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.
