I tried this product and had a bad reaction as well. I'm not sure if it was a herx or what because my herxes are usually different. What did you experience?
My herxes and flares are typically the same. Mostly neurological. My movement gets really stiff, fatigue gets heavy, anxiety, and I get this uncomfortable CNS feeling that's difficult to explain.
Started about
two weeks ago when I went on the GAPS diet. I also started treating MARCONS about
a month ago. But the major symptoms started the day after the GAPS diet. I had been taking the Thrive pro Bs twice a day for a while plus loading up on other probiotic sources... I read that a sudden change in protocol can initiate a herx. And the past few weeks has been anything but regular. So, I am chalking it up to all the changes.
As far as your bad reaction with it goes.... probably a die off of parasites instead on Lyme and co possibly. The strains in this product are very powerful and produce strong antioxidants and antibiotics in the gut.
I am taking a break from pro Bs today and possibly tomorrow and monitor my symptoms. I'll start back on them slowly.
Dr Axe swears by these strains of probiotics. And from what I have read, even a small bit can initiate a herx for some people. Think about
it... these strains are not affected the same from stomach acids that kill the more common strains. So, you are getting the entire dose delivered to the gut.
