When I am having a herx, the sides of my facial muscles cramp up and at the same time I get nasty cramps in my stomach and esophagus. I read something about this being the Vagus 10 cranial nerve and "bells palsy of the gut". Does anyone know anything about this and how it can be helped?? It is a big problem because I cant eat while this is going on, and can barely drink water, or take supps. Need help desperately as this is messing up my Bart treatment. Should I try to get a smooth muscle relaxer drugs?

I started taking flagyl for cyst busting two weeks ago. I immediatly noticed the next day that I was getting bad stomach cramps
I think its a normal symptoms of all the die off- thats what happens with this disease. it causes inflamation inflamation inflammation when it dies off!!

Yes boatloads of probiotics, I am doing omnicef right now but I had this probl with every abx incl doxy, moxy, and zith. The prob is I can't get food down when I'm like this. I have to stop abx, settle stomach down, then go again. It is really frustrating. I am certain it is part of the herx, not the meds, or the probiotics.
