Constipation?

Ohh man, constipation was one of the first Lyme symptoms I ever got and it never went away!! I have had constant constipation for 5 years now. I battle it on a daily basis and there is not much that seems to work. I have tried the fiber, water, exc. with no luck. The only thing I found to combat the constipation is vegetables 2-3 servings a day. I find that corn works best, give it a try for a week! I also find that the more food I eat the more regular I become. When I go on a diet or have small meals it tends to get really bad.

I deal with my constipation the old fashioned way. I eat prunes or drink prune juice. Works every time

hello i have battled with constipation my whole life and was diagnoased with IBS a few years ago....the best think to do is to stay away from hight fat foods, white flour, dairy products, any type of nuts or seads, and peant butter.... have been eating alot of peanut butter and its messing wiht me but i eat it for protien.... sour dough bread is safe to eat cause your system can digest it, i dont sugest to eat red meat or pork since this stays in your system longer and can bind you up.....and apple sause does not help you it wil acturally make you worse cause of the sugar in it....your intestins dry up and need to eat certain foods that produces the mucus that sourounds the walls in the intestines.....if you look up the
IBS diet it can help you out even if you dont have ibs cause it will tell you how to prevent constipation.

also stress causes this and are bodys are all going through alot of stress and the abx are hard on our stomaches and can mess with our digestion track.....

"I will not let Lyme controll my life i will controll my own life"

lyme since June 08

meds-zithromax 500mg one a day/ 1  month // Plaquenil 200mg twice a day/ 1 month

starting 10/3 doxy100mg // omnicef 300mg

 

ADHD/anxiety/depression// celexa 20mg

Acrually after what seems like a life-time on constipation from lyme I am sure, it was not UNTIL I began probiotics that I got regular going every day sometime a few times a day and it is not loose simply normal bowel movements. I believe if you are taking the correct ones and enough of them probiotics will help you to be regular. I take them 2 hours AFTER my antibiotics which is important. They have to be good ones though to be sure the good bacteria is alive. Blessings
