Do You Poop More During Flare-ups?

Thought I'd throw this slightly uncomfortable topic out there because I truly feel this is something related to my LD.

When I have flare-ups, and for me this is the tingling in my head, maybe some pressure build-up and general feeling that 'something's not right,' I will have the need to poop. Fortunately I will and it's always kind of soft. Not too much comes out, but what's interesting is that when I'm having these flare-ups, I will go 4-5x day. Sometimes 3-4x within a morning. This is definitely NOT stomach related.

I was on doxy for 11 weeks, then off for a month and then I just started doxy again last Wednesday as I just wasn't improving enough in my mind without it.

My wife and I just call it the flushing out of the bad Lyme stuff. To me, pooping's always good, just curious if others have had this 'somewhat' unusual occurrence?

I started having frequent BM's before I was treated for Lyme and then again after starting meds. Now I'm pretty normal. I think it could be either Lyme, detoxing OR a side effect of the meds.
