Hi Everyone!

I have been gluten-free for 2 years and "never" suffered from joint pain.
Mid-September my doctor put me on 100 mg Doxycycline twice a day for 10
days since I tested borderline for Lyme Disease.  The antibiotic made me
sick and I later learned I should have taken a probiotic while on the
antiobiotic.  So, I started taking Acidophilus (2 billion) before each meal
about a month later (mid-October).  It took care of all my symptoms except
that I have developed severe joint pain these last couple of weeks (in the
toes, ankles, elbows, wrists).  I understand now that antibiotics can
damage our gut flora and throw off the bacterial balance.  I just don’t
know what else to do?

Does anyone have any personal experience similar to mine that they could
share?  Is there anything else I should do?  How long should I keep taking
the Acidophilus? How long does it take the pain to go away or is this
permanent?

Thank you so much and I will summarize!

Warm Regards,

Janet Kline
