Can changing diet create a herx?

I am just curious if cutting out gluten dairy and sugar could create a herx?

Before I started treatment I cut all of these things out because I read they feed the bacteria. And I noticed my symptoms worsened. Maybe it was just my symptoms worsening on there own but I can't help but wonder if maybe it was because I wasn't feeding them and that it caused a die off?

Would love to hear your thoughts!

As Lymedriven said, it's likely due to a detox type of situation. You could have had some candida as candida can produce a herx just like Lyme. So when you stopped 'feeding' it, it started to die off.

You should increase what you are doing for detoxing.
