Lyme related nausea help

A friend of mine diagnosed with Lyme, Babs Duncani, Mycoplasma, and one of the Chlamydias (but not T.) is recently suffering constant nausea which coincided with coming off the large amounts of Iron (a ridiculous former duc who doesn't practice anymore prescribed 65mg per day which he maintained for 2 years and has no idea why the duc recommended it in the first place)

I suggested that he was feeding the Babs with such a large amount and derailing the body's own defense mechanisms which often will produce less iron.

His tests in April oddly enough show low to normal iron levels even with all that Ferrous Sulfate.

The duc who suggested the iron years ago failed to say why and he stopped seeing the duc but continued to take it at large daily amounts.

I believe the nausea which began days after ceasing of the iron supplementation was completely coincidental as he went back on it for a couple weeks after this occurred.

it did not correct with the restoration of Iron after a couple weeks, so we are trying to stop the iron again since I fear overfeeding the bacteria (especially the Babs which is the most recent diagnosed infection)

Hes had a couple symptoms matching iron poisoning (like chills).

He was on 200mg bid Doxy and 400mg Fluconazole daily. He tried removing the latter upon a sign of a pale stool (temporary one day) and its been a week since with no change to the month long bout of nausea.

He got the green light from the doc to lower the Doxy to half and stop the Fluconazole and I believe the iron as he hasn't taken it for 10 days but the nausea continues.

Hes going to see the doc about it soon and in the meantime I suggested adding fresh ginger.

Maybe it could be caused by

Pyrroluria, a metabolic illness where abnormal porphyrins carry out significant amounts of needed zinc and vitamin B6, that many Lymies have and can be addressed by supplements.

Any other ideas? I would say definitely add liberal amounts of Lipo Glutathione at this point.

Does it sound familiar to anyone?

My personal "go to" for being nauseous is bone broth. Just warm it and drink it like tea. It always calms my tummy down.

But we all are different.

Bone broth is good. I find that peppermint tea helps a lot too. I like the Traditional Medicinal brand. My local, regular grocery store carries it, or you can get it on Amazon. It's only ingredient is organic peppermint.

I usually try to avoid adding more prescriptions to the mix, but I gotta say that Zofran is pretty awesome. Works really well and fast. I've been known to take one when the tea and broth aren't cutting it. Will her doc write a prescription for it?

I am going to suggest it as they see their PCP later today. They ordered the lipo glutathione that I like from Aurora. We will try 10ml bid to try to undo the toxicity. It appears it may undo the iron tox as well. Thanks all.
