Hi All,

Looking for ideas to help my 12 year old (has lyme) with his sore stomach.

GI issues are one of the big things left in his healing journey.

He takes probiotic, eats fermented foods, no sugar/sweeteners/, no gluten, mostly whole food diet.

Over the last few days he says his stomach is more sore then usual.

When asked he points around and above his belly button,

He says it feels like about 4 separate areas of discomfort. He has little pin pick like pains and is slightly nauseous.

He is eating and drinking and reported a bit of runny poop, but his could be from the vitamin c and water he drank.

Any ideas?

Thank for any thoughts.

canadianmama,

Have you tried treating him with antiparasitics? Sounds like it might be a very good idea.

Gael I've bee afraid to start them again.

He's doing DE and clove oil, but not the herbs or salt/c.

Maybe the time has come.

Just worried to see the terrible anxiety return.

Vitamin C makes my stomach hurt, maybe stop and see what happens?

Just start it very slow. You can open the capsules into some applesauce and let him take a little at a time through the day with meals. The same with salt/c.

Just give him a tiny dose like 1/8 tsp each salt and c in a glass of water and let him sip through the day.

Letting the infection get worse is just not a good idea. His getting anxiety when you give him antiparasitics is a clear indication he has parasites.

I do understand not wanting to see your son suffer and my heart goes out to you. Maybe some chamomile tea could help calm his anxiety.
