symptoms initially? My guts are probably a hot mess, and I just started taking probiotics again after a hiatus. I eat a strict diet. However, I notice my pain ramps up for a bit, particularly nerve pain, when I take my probiotics. Is it killing/disabling the disease in some way, which, in turn, causes my body to feel so unhappy?

What are your experiences?

I've been taking probiotics even before getting Lyme. I send to take 1 pill and now take 4. The antibiotics would cause problems in the gut but when I won't up in probiotic dose, it made me feel better. I would think that it's possible that the probiotic is fighting off something that is causing some flare up. I didn't experience that but it might be that I've kept my digestive tract pretty healthy with always taking probiotics. I hope you get some answers!

I wouldn't think the probiotics could result in the nerve pain you are having. It would be more likely that probiotics would cause bloating and stomach issues. Probiotics are a bacteria not an antibiotic so I don't see how it could cause a flare up? Are you taking anything else?

I am not taking anything else until I see the LLMD on the 6th.

I never had a problem. The 200 billion gave me diarrhea, that's all. You must be having a die off reaction, which is good, even if it feels yucky.

After your reaction is done, try going off refined sugar.

This is what it feels like. My symptoms that sent me to an LLMD was sinus/nerve pain on the left side, and that is what comes back/gets worse when I'm on this.

Thanks Margaret, I have been off of refined sugar since December. It is helping. I am wondering if small amounts of maple syrup are bad, too. Probably.

You bet. Anything sweet is not on the antilyme diet. Just natural sugars in fruits r ok. Just avoid bananas grapes and oranges. I love maple syrup with pancakes. Now I have gluten free pancakes with rasberries and blueberries. Very tastey!!!
