I have developed really bad nausea which comes in waves, alongside burping, gas, and diarrhoea at times (sorry too much info).

I concerns me because many of my original symptoms are much better, and these new ones have popped up in the last few months, or so. The nausea often makes me feel like I need to vomit, but I haven't yet.

I originally tested positive for bartonella, mycoplasma, HSV, and a few others.

Does anyone else deal with this?

Hi destiny, I remember you. So glad to hear many of your original symptoms are better. Did your hair loss ever get better? I hope it did.

It sounds to me like a candida/fungal issue. An LLMD once said that most relapses are actually a candida/fungal infection which people mistake for the original infection coming back.

In the meantime, try not to worry too much because that will just make things worse.

Did you many any changes or did something in your environment changes before the nausea developed?

Lyme meds usually tend to help my heart rate lower and decrease my feeling I'd needing to vomit. Bp issues also cause this. The taste of pre vomiting salt or acid is brought on by clindamycin but also bp meds like licorice and iv saline. This could all be specific to me and my case though...

Hi RainyCloud, really nice to hear from you.

My hair loss basically resolved itself, somehow. I'm not quite sure how.

It was really really bad initially - I'd run my hand through my hair and end up with 5-10 strands on my hand each time. It was very puzzling and distressing. I thought I would go from a full thick set of hair to bald in a few months.

It's still pretty thick, although the density has decreased a little bit and I have receded slightly. But it's nothing abnormal and my hair looks good for my age (31 year old man).

Not entirely sure on the nausea, etc.

I'm wondering if it's from a long course of doxycyclone recently.

I've also noticed that I'm getting quite noticeable dark circles under my eyes whenever I get these nauseas flares and stomach problems. I've never had this issue before. So I'm starting to wonder if it's something like UC or IBS, but I'm not really sure..

You're right about worrying making things so much worse. I am susceptible to very bad anxiety, especially health anxiety.

Something I'm trying to get better at not doing. A work in progress.

If you have been taking pharmaceutical antibiotics as part of your treatment, then I would assume you have developed a case of SIBO or dysbiosis in general, unfortunately. Those four symptoms sound like textbook SIBO to me.

IBS is possible, but I would rule out dysbiosis (bacterial or fungal) first through a SIBO test and possibly stool testing.

Sounds really unpleasant, and I hope you find relief soon!
