Dizzyness After Eating

The past few days I have gotten dizzy after eating. No matter what I eat, I feel dizzy afterwards. Almost kind of like a light headed feeling and just off balance.

I remember I used to have this at the beginning of treatment and then it didn't get as noticeable but now it's back and pretty bad..

Does this point toward gut issues? Or just a sx from knocking out babesia?

My doctor has me doing a three day stool panel through Genova so I am hoping this gives me some answers. It says to stop antibiotics for 2-4 weeks but my doctor told me not to, so I hope it is still accurate..Supposed to look for yeast, parasites, bacteria, gut health, etc.

If you are doing a stool panel there must be a reason and the doctor feels this test will provide some answers.

I think anything is possible with lyme. I have been here long enough to have seen all kinds of stuff.

I found another post similar, but there were no answers. /www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=3844471

I didn't do a super extensive search, so maybe you can start there looking.

My LLMD is actually not running the stool panel, it is another integrative practitioner that wants to make sure nothing else is going on besides Lyme. She is one of those doctors that does not believe in Lyme disease.. really annoying, but I do want to look into everything else that could be wrong to be extra sure I am only dealing with Lyme.

I used to get that dizzy feeling after eating before I knew what was wrong. It seemed to be worse when I took in both high calories and high carbohydrates. I was always worried I had diabetes. After treatment I have not had this issue anymore.

Not sure if that is helpful to you, but in my case I do believe it was a symptom of TBD's.

Do you have any heart symptoms? It was related to POTS for me. Carbs and big meals made it worse.

I do have lots of heart symptoms. They sent me to the ER twice a few months ago. They have settled down since but have gotten worse lately so I can see that being a connection.

Does POTS resolve with babesia treatment? POTS scares me.

1000Daisies - This stool test should rule it out or tell me that I have it. I take diflucan weekly and nystatin daily so it would be hard to imagine that I have yeast, but who knows..

Missouri - Yes! I do notice it worse if I eat high carbs like brown rice.

PeteZa - Amen to that
