Keratosis Pilaris

Hi all

Just went to do a search on Keratosis Pilaris (aka 'chicken skin') and couldn't find anything in the Lyme threads. Assuming it's not a common symptom of Lyme - in fact, I'm not entirely sure what it is a signifier of, but I've read a Vit A deficiency. Well, my wife has had it for years, but for the last few months it has really died down - and we're heading into Winter months when it usually worsens. Alongside her Lyme protocol (which she started mid-August), we've been having organic liver once a week, which I often read is a great source of Vit A amongst other things. Has anybody else suffered with it in the past? The Keratosis that is, not the weekly liver consumption ;-)

I have no experience with keratosis, but I ate grass fed beef liver 5 nights in a row this past week

Didn't plan it that way. The meat completely thawed before I got home with it, so I had to cook the whole package. Took 5 days to eat it all.

I have never liked the taste of liver - but to some people it’s a treat.

I would gag if I had to eat it - but I am a fussy /picky eater.

LOL!!!

I used to hate liver and wouldn't eat it. Then, one night about 3 years ago after I got real sick, I was in a cafeteria restaurant and they had liver and onions. For some inexplicable reason, I felt a craving for it and decided to try it again. I loved it!!! Had it again at a different restaurant a year or so ago. Found it at the farmer's market last Saturday, so this was the first home cooked liver and onions I've had in decades, probably.

Glad I developed a liking for it, as I've heard it does have benefits. Maybe my body was craving something that liver provides. Maybe that's why I suddenly started wanting to eat it. Who knows!?!

Thanks for the replies. Was genuinely searching the abbreviations list for 'FWIW'..!!

1000Daisies: thanks for sharing your experience - or your kids', rather! My gut feel was that it wasn't related to Lyme particularly, so I'm with you on it being a sign of something else. I mention Vit A above as I have read that before, so could be a deficiency - which you could link back to Lyme if you wanted to!
