Help!!! I mix cinnamon and ginger powder in a mug of warm water and drink it for my stomach. I feel like Inwas knocked on my *** with this heavy fatigue coming on and kind of feeling spaced out. It not cinn and ginger oil but rather the powder version. I'm having really bad brain fog come on in the moment and feel lost for words writing this post. Can those 2 herbs cause a herx, breaking down biofilm, hitting lyme or bart?? I don't want to feel like a hypochondriac right now, but this is really happening to me at the moment. Not liking this ****** up feeling at all right now lol. I know I'm not just imagining things. Has anyone else herxed off ginger or cinnamon ? There is quite a lot of research showing cinnamon can break down biofilms and can kill of lyme and Bart and it's also great for inflammation, candida etc. Ginger , I already know can cause herxing.

those are both high in oxalate. I would have tried a oxalate-free diet for a while and see if you feel better..

Oxolates , I never knew that. But what about it killing off lyme and bart, plus it does kill off sibo and other gut bacteria. I still have brain fog today that is much more noticeable after taking the ginger and cinnamon so I'm almost positive it's a herx.

A few years ago I used to drink herbal tea every night and had the same experience with cinnamon and ginger-based teas. The cinnamon in particular I drank for months on end and I would get the same brain fog/tiredness each time, actually it got worse over time. It never resulted in progress or clearing any symptoms, so I chalked it up to an inflammatory reaction of sorts rather than a herx.

Oxalates recently come on my radar for other reasons to interesting to think of that as a possible connection as well.

I have cleared up my diet from oxalates and it has a big impact on me.
Dont wanna take out anything in advance but feels like I have regained the last missing 15-ish health % I been lacking for the last few years..

My big issue is, I have oral allergy syndrome so I can't eat raw fruits or veggies, nuts either. Like wth can I eat then!! Feels like Im missing out on fiber an lots of nutrients and its not helping me with detox. I can eat certain dark leafy greens but heard they're full of oxalates.

in my opinion
you cant just guess/ fear you have every dietary issue out there - eg like oxalate intolerance, histamine intolerance, dairy intolerance etc etc and keep restricting your diet further - as that leaves you with ultra restricted dietary intake - which tends to lead to further problems of its own.
its easy to do as once we start to get an idea in our head confirmation bias tends to strengthen any such opinion without us intentionally doing anything

instead i think you have to do strict controlled trials - probably several times for each foodstuff - to be sure you are not getting random results from other causes ( its actually really hard to control for everything 100% and our illnesses themselves tend to go up and down in symptoms of their own accord to some degree ) - to identify what you personally can and cannot manage.

its work - but its pretty much the only way to do it reliably

So I'm not allergic , no histamine intolerance, as I've done weeks of certain foods, herbs and 1 by so 1 so I'd know for sure. My llmd also tested me for histamine and all that and my numbers were extremely low and I was amazed. I think the ginger or cinnamon may be killing off sibo or candida or lyme. Somethings happening.
