Diagnosed in July '18 with chronic lyme, mycoplasma, IBS, immune dysfunction...
I'm on my third different regimen of pills - doxycycline, bactrim, and a bunch of supplements (serrapeptase, monolaurin, probiotics, myc-p drops, etc) and i've had diarrhea 10x+/day for last 2 weeks.
I'm getting pretty frustrated with all of this as I obviously do not feel good. I'm about to throw in the towel and stop taking all my meds cause I feel like they might be causing more harm than good.
Patience running low. Do I need these antibiotics? I told my doctor what was up and all he did was call in another med for diarrhea.
I'm up to about 22 pills a day plus the drops. Anyone else have similar issues or any advice?

Some abx do contribute to diarrhea. I could not tolerate augmentin. Floristore does help quite a bit as Lymetoo recommended. Try process of elimination to figure our which item you take is causing it.

You might have C.diff, which is an extremely serious infection caused by antibiotics. Please go to an infectious disease specialist immediately.
I've had it before and it needs immediate treatment.
