Really need your collective wisdom on this one. One of my primary symptoms has always been stomach problems and liver pain. It always starts with stomach buring with right side pain and the "bile" on the way out. When my stomach is OK, I am OK. When I got stomach/liver/bile issues everything follows?? Could this be BART or Yeast??? Help!!

You are not the only one. It is Babs and yeast for me. Oh, and of course, it is the antibiotics in general. I have horrible gastro problems and have to be vigilant with my diet. I also do monthly C-Diff tests and Blood Liver Panels. Be careful with your liver - have it checked often if you are on strong abx. I used to have blood drawn every other week. But, my blood has been so clean since treating Babs that my MD has me test once a month now.

I know this is way out in Left field but it's just an idea..........maybe helpful, maybe not.
I have gone on a gluten free diet for the past month. My alt. doc said that even though I do not have celiac disease I would probably improve on a gluten free diet.
She said that humans were not designed to eat grains, espeially wheat and other gluten containing grains. I believe Dr. Mercola www.mercola.com stresses a No-grain diet.
Anyway, I have noticed my digestive system improving in many ways. I don't want to be graphic.....you can email me for more details on the diet if you're interested.
I expect that I will continue a gluten free lifestyle for ever.

I have had to have several abdominal ultrasounds, blood work, was even scoped up and down if you know what I mean, and there's nothing there.
I have been to the er on several occasions with the right sided liver pain you are describing. There's nothing there.
I attribute it to yet another Lyme symptom, and the fact that abx are hard on the liver. I take liver support and liver detox supplements, and still have the pain on and off.

I had RUQ pains BEFORE I was ever diagnosed with Lyme and BEFORE I took any antibiotics. I too thought it might be the liver, but liver tests looked normal. My gall bladder was then removed due to sluggish HIDA scan (which measure GB function.) I did not have stones or sludge. turned out my GB was pretty damn normal looking at pathology. Later on after diagnosis with Lyme...the thought by my LLMD was that the RUQ pains and R abdominal wall weakening, and diaphragm weirdness was all probably due to to thoracic back nerve root involvement to those nerves. T'aint simple is it? And who knows what is really going on?
