Inflated stomach

Hello,

I have a problem since I'm a child (I probably have Lyme since i'm a child also) : i have the stomach that inflates everytime I eat. And it stays inflated but a little less even when I don't eat.
When I write stomach it's to mean all the belly.

Does somebody else has that since being sick with Lyme?

And does somebody has found the way to correct this?

It cause me big postural problems.

Thanks

Ok, thank you for your answer.

Yes, it's gaz inside. i have the stomach sometimes very inflated.

I have read the text, but I don't know for the fungus.
I had a test that was inconclusive on candida.
Also i took for month antibiotics without having bad things on the tongue.
And also already took fluconazole, but it didn't do me much things.

But do you have any other ideas except the fungus?
Anyway thank's again for your answer.

Hi healroom -

Sorry your GI seems a little imbalanced. It's so very common, so there is a ton of good info out there - and the other posters have already shared good stuff. But it's not always easy to fix.

Here is the yeast/fungal overgrowth post in the "New to Lyme?" thread at the top of the page:
www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=30&m=1606610&g=3644275#m3644275

There is some info in there about leaky gut, which can be caused by yeast/fungus or several other problems that can cause it.

The reason people immediately think of yeast/fungal overgrowth is because the yeast produces ethanol and other by-products, which are gassy and can cause a distended belly. Inflammation, which can be due to several issues can also make you feel distended but it's generally not enough to be clearly noticeable. So, my buck is on the yeast/fungal overgrowth as others have also suggested.

Please let us know if you have any questions - we talk about healthy GI here a lot! It's the key to a healthy immune system, which is the key to treating just about everything.

Thank you for all your answers. I will take the time to read all of that.
It's a complicated subject I think, hard to know what is happening.


Traveler, for some time i had digestive enzimes, maybe 1/2 month. And my blood was of a much better quality. But I was also taking amoxicilline so I don't know what worked on that. Usually I have plenty of micro organisms that could be linked to leaky gut.

I also have read your recipe to flush the gallbladder. Do you think that it would be usefull to enzymes?
Or do you have techniques to produce more enzymes?

I don't know why I though that the flush thing was a thing that you wrote Traveler

In fact it's in the very informative guide written by Pirouette.

This one :
Traditional Chinese Medicine liver detox
In the morning, 1/2 hour before any food, mix:
1 cup fresh squeezed citrus juice - can be orange or grapefruit .
A couple of good squeezes of lemon or lime juice.
1 - 2 cloves of fresh squeezed garlic
1 tablespoon of olive oil.
A few drops of fresh squeezed ginger juice
Do 2 cycles of 7 - 10 days each, with a 3 day break in between the 2 cycles - OR until you see plenty of bile (dark green color) in your stools.


Does it works well? Is it possible to take it and continuing another treatment at the same time?
it may be not the better thing to drink, but if it works...

OK - yes, given the additional information you provided, it does sound a little more like a mechanical issue. That would be out of my reach but continue to post questions - hopefully someone with more info will come along.

Have you read about bell's palsy of the gut? This might hold some clues for you:

My symptoms began in2011 as nausea (constant) and diarrhea (ibs)... After gallbladder removal, because of HIDA ejection fraction of 30, I still didn't improve. I lost so much weight and thought I was dying. After hundreds of tests, the only thing which was found was slightly slow emptying but still in normal range. After 8 months I began to improve with liquid erythromycin for 3 months. Now I believe it was all caused by Lyme.

Actually, she got the recipe from one of my posts. It's the gall bladder and liver flush that I use. It was given to me by my practitioner that helped me heal the first time around - and yes, it works well!!! Getting used to chugging it down (Garlic and OJ isn't the best tasting mix! LOL!) was interesting, but with how well it worked for me, it was more than worth doing. I still do it when I need to.

Yes, you can continue on with any treatments during the use of this liver flush, as long as you aren't taking anything that will interact with or allergic to the Orange juice or something else in the flush. You do the flush first thing in the morning, and you can have coffee or whatever pretty much right after using it, although you do have to wait for 30 minutes before eating or taking other meds/herbs.

Ok, you have a crazy story. And are you better/stabilized now?

I use minced garlic and swallow it down with big gulps of the other ingredients - as I said, the orange juice and garlic are not the best mix of flavors! LOL! But it works so well for me that I use it any time I need it. I actually really need to do it again now - just for maintenance.

Houttuynia is a great herb to add to a Bartonella treatment. Alone it's not enough to get rid of the Bartonella, but it's not at all surprising for you to be feeling like it's hitting something -which would be Bartonella most likely.

I've been here forever! LOL! So it's not surprising that you could have read it in one of my posts. I used to talk about it a lot!!

LOL! Yes, you could call it a "special" taste!

I usually only need to use it for 7 days and I'm done with it. You'll know when you are done by watching for your stool to have more bile in it - it should look darkish green.

I'm still working on healing again, as my adrenals crashed really bad (Addison's) and that's what keeps me from moving too fast in healing my infections. It's a very slow climb, as the stress on my body from treating the infections is hindering the healing of my adrenals....sooooo everything is very slow for me and a very careful balancing act. But - I AM healing!!

I make a lot of my own tinctures(even though I don't use a lot of tinctures usually), and believe that it not only has given me a better appreciation for those that make these tinctures, but for the herbs themselves - which is why I'm now in school to become a clinical herbalist.

I've another question :
Is it possible to swallow the garlic with the oil, then directly after drinking the orange juice?
Because all is mixed in the stomach, right?

Ok! I wasn't sure for the patients. Some works in pills making or plant selling companies.
I'm sure that you will be a good practitionner! (even if your patients will have to swallow very bad things, haha
)


I've tried the mix today. The taste is not so bad. It remembers the sausage that you put on salads (vinaigrette).
The bad thing is that I chewed the garlic pieces. At my father's house I have a thing to crush it properly. I will use it.

Also it's very hard on my stomach. I think that I'm sensitive, especially of garlic. But I think that it will be ok for 2x one week.

I try also a chiropractic technique to close the ileocaecal valve. I have read that in the documents that pirouette posted. So I try to see if it does something.
