I dont understand whats wrong. I have felt bloated all day for the past few days. and everytime i try to have a bowel movement i feel constipated. and either diarreah comes out or very little pieces of poop.
and my stomach feels gassy and sore. even my lower back is starting to feel sore.

Are you taking magnesium? It can help soften the stools.
Posted by lymegal23 (Member # 28573) on :
mm. what kind of magnesium? i have magnesium oxide. but i havent taken it yet bcuz ive been told on here its the wort kind you can take because it doesnt absorb or something like that,.

ff, i don't knwo why so many of us have a messed up stomach...
Posted by Shahbah (Member # 28735) on :
I wonder if it's not from a cranial nerve that goes down to the stomach and that is infected...
Posted by lymegal23 (Member # 28573) on :
I never had stomach problems before I started treatment a week and a half ago tho. so its got to be something treatment related.
i noticed it when i upped my dose the most
I was taking therelac for 3 weeks before starting antibiotics and I also was eating well.

I had GI issues from the Lyme, so I'm not sure I'm much help. I've wondered about the nerve issue Shahbah.
Are you taking abx with food?
Also, have you tried a coffee enema? I find those can sometimes help.

My husband felt just like that when he started treatment.
Probiotics would put him over the edge.
It didn't get any better until he took Diflucan for yeast.

Magnesium oxide really doesn't do anything for me.. I usually use Mag citrate..
Posted by lymegal23 (Member # 28573) on :
okay...so. what should I do
im starting to feel crappy. i took dulcolax. and i still feel constipated. im going to the bathroom but its only small amounts of stuff coming out. so now im drinking that smooth move tea
i hope it works im so aggravated
Posted by lymegal23 (Member # 28573) on :
im literally like crying right now. i just dont understand whats going on. what the hell
Posted by lymegal23 (Member # 28573) on :
my muscles all around my bottom lower back are all sore and tight
ahhhhhhhhh this is a nightmare
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
You may need to ask your dr for some Diflucan to make sure you have killed out any yeast. It CAN constipate you. ( Many get diarrhea, but it can go the other way too. )
Posted by lymegal23 (Member # 28573) on :
okay
what else besides yeast could be causing this?
do people get this when they first experience alot of die off? do they get badly backed up in the bowels and constipated?
Posted by Shahbah (Member # 28735) on :
Woow thank you so much lymetoo for this valuable article!!! Finally I understand what I am suffering from... the article recommends flagyl as a treatment, does that mean we should all add it to our abx list?...
Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
I don't know, Shah... check with your dr. Yes, a very important article!

Posted by lymegal23 (Member # 28573) on :
I didnt have any stomach symptoms tho until I started treatment.
