doxy and food question

just saw my "supposed" LLMD doctor for the first time , and she put me on 30 days of doxy 400mg (when i asked about a cyst-buster she gave me a look and then condescendingly explained the difference between in vivo and in vitro, and said not to worry about a cyst-buster-she doesnt believe in pulsing, says people dont get bartonella etc etc) I wont be going back to her obviously, but thats besides the point (im on waiting list for Dr P for March)

although i was on doxy 200mg in both april and july, and took it without food, i never had a problem...this dr told me i should take it now with food, and im finding some definite stomach upset for the first half of the day..(evening dose is fine)

my question is what to eat with the doxy in the morn to reduce the stomach irritation- i had been doing a couple eggs with diced potato and bowl of oatmeal- taking the doxy between the two...i guess i could have bread but have been doing the gluten free..

how about psyllium husk? i would think that would coat the stomach...anybody know of interactions with that?

if i cant handle the 400 i guess ill go back to 200 and just keep doing herbals

I edited your post just to remove the LLMD's name - we only use initials - for their protection.

Why not eggs? .,,or oats... You could alternate.

Some people have smoothies for breakfast.

Sometimes I have leftovers from previous nights dinner.

I would have a LOT of concern if a doctor told me those things about Bartonella and a cyst buster! Doxy is known and proven to form more cyst forms (actually called round body forms) when the person is treating Lyme.

And people don't get Bartonella???? Wow, I could post study after study showing human Bartonellosis!! I'm so very glad that you are going to be using a different doc!

I would suggest that you try a few different foods and ways of taking your Doxy. Some find it easier on their stomachs to take it before food, some after food, some need to 'sandwich' it - taking it in the middle of the meal.

I suggest oatmeal, it is easy on stomach and also it covers stomach lining, so your irriation will be less.

Traveler, I have one question for you. Is Mino also making cysts (as they are in the same group)?
