Carbs should generally be limited, regardless of what they are.  Rice is a gluten-free grain.  It is actually counter-indicated for Lyme by doctors who want their patients on a low amylose diet.

We eat brown rice and a good pasta that you can eat is Dreamfield's pasta. Dr's even say its okay for diabetics to eat Dreamfields and the best part is its SO good, taste like regular pasta!!! It's Low carb.

My nutritionist really wants me to limit rice, even brown rice

Most LLMD's who recommend a particular diet for Lyme recommend reducing carbs, including rice, and also recommend gluten and dairy-free.

BTW, dreamfield's pasta is not gluten-free.

If you remove all carbs, dairy, gluten and everything else, there is nothing left. There are many things I can't eat so I was already limited.
