What do you guys make of stomach/intestinal pain? This is not a common symptom for me... I regularly have stomach distention, nausea.. But straight up pain not so much. The past few days my belly has hurt so much I can barely eat. Dropping weight which isn't ideal for me. Advil has worked to an extent to allow me to get some sleep at night.

I'm trying to think of what's changed lately... I'm in the midst of a second round of a homeopathic Epstein Barr treatment. Also I started cat's claw, then stopped it again because I felt I was herxing too much with both the EBV treatment and the cat's class. Ditto with Lysine.

Is stomach pain a symptom of lyme, babesia, bartonella, epstein barr, yeast, or parasites that I just for some reason have yet to feel in 3 years of treatment?

Marigold everything can be a symptom of lyme, babs, bart and EB and parasites.

I would do exactly what your heart told you - cut back on all the treatments and get everything to calm down.

Then slowly start over and add in one thing at a time for a about a week and see how that one thing does. Then add in the other thing next and see how that goes.

You could be having problems with the EBV treatment and it needs to be adjusted. Maybe you are not handling cat's claw. Maybe the lysine?

See? We have to find out what our bodies like. Sometimes doctors say this is what we need to take and our body says, "oh no, this amount will do."

Listen to your body. That is what you are doing now and that is awesome!

You are doing great. Hang in there and get that tummy calmed down.

Do not forget that water is your best friend.

Avoid all food that trigger your pain and focus on the items you can digest well. Try to eat toast, rice, banana. Bland diet will settle your stomach down.
If you feel nausea, try apple cider vinegar (dissolve one teaspoon in half glass of water).

Advil can also irritate the lining of the stomach, so do be careful. Try a peppermint or ginger tea and see if that helps. Try it before bed as well. Nausea can be a symptom of all that you listed. I agree that the best thing to do is to pull back and see how you feel. How much cats claw were you taking when you restarted? I tried to do the homeopathic for EBV, Lyme, and HHV6. Personally I think that it was too much and had to pull back. For me, I think it was the alcohol base. With my herbs, I mix in water and allow the alcohol to evaporate. I haven't retried to homeopaths again.
