I am calling it blaoting because I don;t know what else to call it. I woke up yesterday with muscle cramps in my lower abdomen.
Feels like I did a bunch of sit ups and I can't even suck in my lower half if I tried.
It's painful and feels warm to touch.
I don't know if this is a Herx or a side effect from the Doxy. I have been getting constipated too.
I hope this isn't the weight gain coming on. It took me so long to get where I am now, since weight has been an issue since a child.
Any thoughts much appreciated.

I also have problems with bloating and have had since I came down with lyme and company in 2001.
When I look like I am 8 months pregnant I am pretty much bedridden. Which I find strange..but movement is difficult and seems to make it worse.
I currently started taking Pau de arco capsules. I am on a gluten free/sugar free food intake.
I do detox teas.
The guts affects the brain too.
Any other ideas??

Parasites/worms can cause this. Bloating is just one of the symptoms of a parasitic infection. Definitely shouldn't be ignored.

candida/yeast can be the culprit of constipation and bloating.
you can do a search here at the top of the page for TONS of info on probiotics, and herbal antifungals. these are both a must on a frequent basis while on antibiotics.
(hope you are already taking these tho) if not i would recommend it immediately!
good luck and keep us posted. Posts: 1127 | From atlantic city, nj | Registered: May 2008

Parasites feed on the candida and lower the immune system. It's a lot easier to get rid of candida once you get rid of the parasites,

I have done the salt/C. It was during a time when I was lower functioning. Did not really know if it did anything for me or not.
I also have taken the enula for 6 months.
Time for one of the other products now.
