Stomach Pain Gone... - Lyme Disease Message Board

What a relief...the stomach and intestinal pain that I literally have had for seven months straight finally subsided yesterday. I don't know if it is the antibiotic treatment or one of the supplements that I added to my morning routine but I am just grateful and hope it continues. The supplement that I added is Garden of Life's "Primal Defense". It is a very expensive probiotic supplement that looks like dirt and does not require refrigeration. I also like the same line's "Perfect Food" which I took before I got sick. Anyway thought I would mention it. I have also had one Sarsparilla Root Beer each day...so who knows...I am just so grateful. I didn't realize how much this pain and discomfort was wearing me out. I have felt considerably better the last couple days.

Great news!!! Glad to hear you are feeling better. Mark loves root beer, wonder if I should try this with him. Scared of too much sugar, but it would be a great treat. Talk soon, ---Laurie

YAY! That's good news. I hope it just keeps getting better and better. Looking forward to the day when we all can be pain free in every way.

NcGirl,
Congrats!

I"m glad you're feeling better. What brand of Saspirilla root beer are you taking?
Thanks,
Ozarka

Ok - I spoke too soon...digestive pains and aches this evening...but that was almost two days. I have been taking probiotics triple the normal dosage for months even before I went on antibiotics but I do think this "Primal Defense" stuff is doing something.

The root beer I have been drinking is called "Natural Brew" - I found it at a health food store...I won't be drinking it regularly though because of the sugar content but I did find some Sarsaparilla tea I will supplement. You have to be careful not to take too much since it can be toxic to the liver.
