Does anyone else have loss of appetite and feel constantly bloated??

I feel so bloated in the mornings a glass of water to wash all the antibiotics and herbs down is a struggle! I generally do not (cannot eat) until dinner time. I know this is bad and im probably mal-nutritioned from it but I simply do not feel the need to eat as I feel full all the time.

Why is this??

Probably no one in the forum is a doctor but if you have experienced it and know what its from PLEASE tell me!

It could be from candida. Especially if you're on antibiotics. You're on a pretty strong protocol so you would have to do a lot of probiotics to counteract that.

I also have no appetite 95% of the time and I'm starting to get too thin because of that. I have to consciously make an effort to eat no matter how I feel because I never feel hungry anymore.

I had loss of appetite when I started abx - it went on for about 4,5 months. Don't know why though, before I just LOVED eating... Dr said it's normal, he explained something with difficult words in it, but I had a bad day then, I didn't get it stored in that brain of mine...
It's a bit better now, but the cravings for food with high amounts of starch and for sugar is still very strong...

Ditto summer3 on candida.

Are you doing any probiotics? You are taking a lot of bug killing stuff..pharma and also with Cowden. wow. I would imagine it would mess with digestion due to eradicating good gut flora and thus candida flourishing.

Suggestion to get some good nutrition in small amount of food: You could try making smoothies with good quality yogurt (also would help the candida). Goat yogurt is easiest to digest. Add virgin coconut oil as it anti-viral and adds calories and tastes good. And some blueberries (high antioxidant). And a raw egg yolk from farm-raised chicken. Wash the egg first. Excellent, easy to digest and full of nutrition. Thus in a small amount of food/drink you would get a lot of calories and nutrition. I do these occasionally. Taste great!

Good luck!

It could also be from Gluten intolerance. After all the years of fighting Lyme, it has destroyed my gut. Now if I eat any gluten I get bloated, pain and nausea.

LymeJoel,

I agree with the other posters that your stomach problems could be caused by a variety of reasons.
Some other reasons are that the Antibiotics themselves are irritating your stomach., or even parasites. I have had personal experience with parasites. My guts were swollen a lot until I did a parasite cleanse.
