Hi,

I was only on doxy for 2 weeks and developed severe heartburn because I didn't take it with food.. Finally saw an LLMD who told me to stop doxy for a week so I can heal.

Its going to be a week tomorrow and I still have heartburn... I think it is getting a little bit better? Anyways, LLMD put me on slow release doxy but I don't want to start taking it cause I'm scared I will do further damage...

I just want to start treatment so I will get better. I never used to get heartburn ever.. I used to be able to drink hot sauce and it would never bother me. Will I be like this forever? Or will I heal? Feeling discouraged cry

Hi Pepto Bismol has been really effective and Pecid AC as well.

From Dr. Jones' website:

29. Can bi****h be used for Lyme patients?

Studies have shown that bi****h will penetrate Borellia cyst walls. Intestinal 
problems are especially common in children with Lyme disease and bi****h
 compounds may eventually prove to be effective in treating the cyst form of the 
bacteria in the intestines. Check with your doctor for updated information concerning bi****h and other cyst busters (Tindamax).

You can also use ginger tea. You can take a couple of teaspoons of dried ginger, or a tablespoon or two of fresh grated ginger and add a bit of stevia or other natural sweetener and heat in the microwave for a minute or so. Cool and drink. It takes care of not only my indigestion, but nausea and helps with digestion overall.

Gaviscon works like a charm! and don't worry, it will go away. you need to take doxy on an empty stomach for a much longer time to do any permanent damage!!

Don't go back on Doxy!! I've replied to you before and trust me it will most likely cause it again..even the timed-release. I've been there done that. I'm on strong antacids for GERD which work for that but not for the Doxy heartburn. Doxy is not the only drug you can take for Lyme. There's also Biaxin or Amoxicillin or Ceftin/Omnicef. The only suffering you should be enduring is a herx because it can get you better. Heartburn will not.
