I notice that there's a lot of stomach problems here attributed to yeast. I have been having stomach issues as well for months and my symptoms are similar to some of the others that have posted.
I want to tell you what I have, because it's not always yeast. However, I don't know much about it, maybe it was caused by yeast...
I have had stomach bloating and in the evenings after dinner, I would get bad stomach cramps and diarrhea. This has been going on for a long, long time.
Then one day I got a fever and a very bad pain on the middle to left side very low near my pubic bone.
It felt like my insides were going to fall out.
On the 3rd day of fever and pain, I went to the ER. Turns out I had diverticulitis. Very much like appendicitis (but in your intestines). It can burst-just like appendicitis.
I was admitted and put on IV antibiotics. I was sent home then, and put on antibiotics for 10 days.
The doctor waited 2 and 1/2 months for the swelling to go down to do a colonoscopy (sp?).
Believe it or not, after waiting all that time, my intestines were still extremely swollen.
They said they will need to remove about a foot of my large intestine, and do what is called a "re-section".
If you have similar symptoms, you could have diverticulosis. That is the condition you get before diverticulitis. This diverticulosis symptoms can last for years without turning into diverticulitis.
I am just offering another possibility. I don't know if diverticulosis is related to lyme or not.
I'd be interested in finding out if anyone else has had this...

Check for enterovirus. That could be part of your problem. There is blood testing (ARUP) lab, and tissue testing (consider sending to John Chia in CA) if you have your intestines resected.
One person had that done, and now he wishes he didn't after he found out it was enterovirus.
Best, Timaca

The two pathogens I have run into that can cause Stomach problems are H-Pylori, and active Herpes Zoster virus. Herpes Zoster also causes Shingles, and Fatigue.
I am sure there are other pathogens that can cause this as well.

Parasites and worms can actually be the antagonist to lowering the immune system and allowing the viruses and yeast to activate and linger.
Parasites/worms play a MAJOR role in Lyme disease and can be considered a co-infection as seen on
Also do a search on here typing parasites and worms into search bar. Humaworm also has a symptom list at their site and bloating is on that list,
