Oh Teragram, so sorry you are having a bad day... Anyway, I thought (I could be wrong) that CALM was magnesium citrate in powder form with some calcium added in.

It fizzes and hopefully you get the result of plop, plop! I think if one has this product they slowly increase it until you get results...

lymedisease1, so sorry you are having problems.. Is it possible it could be neuro toxins that is causing the "messaging" not to work? I'm not a doctor so I really don't know...

I do know that when I go visiting a new place I have problems because my intestines and other areas (which I shall not name) gets stressed so everything tightens up, not good! I think they should leave laxatives in hotel rooms!

Hope everyone gets relief...

What I'd do is simultaneously:

1. Start coffee enemas daily, as elimination is key to progress

2. Investigate the problem so you can fix it. Do blood work for your thyroid, hormones, and adrenals. Do a stool test with Doctors Data, Metametrix or Enterolab.

3. Probiotics. Also, unless you have klebsiella, resistant starch helps bring the Probiotics into your large intestines. Do your research on this one. Chris Kresser has good info on his site.

4. No sugar. It feeds bacteria the way in makes your cavities worse. If you need a SUGAR FIX, have a tablespoon of manuka honey away from food and water. This way your body uptakes the sugar before it gets too far down the GI tract, it won't feed bacteria, and you also get the benefits on manuka honey.

Hi Teragram,
I to have your same problem, I was on minocyclene and had a bm every day then when my llDr changed my abx I started to be constipated. I could not go without a enama I had to do one water enema every day for two weeks. I started to go with some constant straining to move the wast to lower intestine I think the lyme is indeed in my lower intestine becaus all feeling is not there. Just do the water until your body is able to go, lately it has been 3 days on 3days off. I think the binders in the abx adds to the constipaion because the mino was in pill form not tablet. This is terrable misery, just fighting for a bowlmovement along with all else that lyme does to us. You are not alone I strugle with it also but do the enema every day if you have to, I think the build up of toxins in yor intestine is harmeful to recovery.

I am sorry we have to deal with this part of lyme wish they would find a cure!

Good luck
Chris
