Anyone have lyme induced gastroparesis and get full remission from lyme or bart treatment?
Anyone have easing of symptoms with treatment?
Worsening of symptoms with treatment?
What treatment do you think helped the most? lyme? bart? other?
Basically is there any hope for relief?
Been told all we can do is treat TBI's and symptoms.
Will GI tract ever have any resemblance of normal?
Do you think this is another classification of lyme: Gastro-lyme?
Or just a progression of neuro lyme?
Or do some with lyme-arthritis develop gastroparesis also?
Thanks for any info you can share! MommaK Posts: 242 | From Mississippi | Registered: Oct 2006

hi mommak,
Anyone have lyme induced gastroparesis and get full remission from lyme or bart treatment?
I have gastropareis which i believe is lyme/babs induced ( I don't have bart as far as I know)I have a long way to go of treating the lyme and babs still.
Anyone have easing of symptoms with treatment?
yes it is better than it had been... it has flared off and on but I wasn't diagnosed with lyme until i had already been sick 13 years and babs at about 19 years ..i think.
Worsening of symptoms with treatment?
Pain medications made it worse. sometimes herxes too.
What treatment do you think helped the most? lyme? bart? other?
? not sure yet?
Basically is there any hope for relief?
yes... until whichever disease gets under control they have a prescription medication called reglan which helped me alot..
Also by the time my gastroparesis was finally diagnosed my stomach had substantail inflamation so I also had to follow the gastropareis diet.. which is quite opposite the yeast diet but it was that or nothing. In time my stomach got to be able to handle more.
Did your dr make you aware of the foods that can make gastroparesis symptoms worse?
Will GI tract ever have any resemblance of normal?
THat would be best to ask your dr. I think alot of the symptoms that lyme causes can go away as suddenly as they came and some things that feel like it must be permant often arent. But that is just my opinion as a patient.
Do you think this is another classification of lyme: Gastro-lyme? Or just a progression of neuro lyme?
I think its just one of the myriad of systems lyme can effect.
Or do some with lyme-arthritis develop gastroparesis also?
I have had joint pain off and on (not true arthritus though - no actual damage - just pain)since i initially got sick 1987. I think the problems I had with my stomach then was also undiagnosed gastroparesis... caused by my undiagnosed lyme or babs.

yes, symptoms can and most likely will go away with treatment.
Lyme likes to attack the vagus nerve which controls alot of vital organs including the stomach/intestines.
