wow~ all great responses!
I have no clue why he put me on such a diet. I tried to ask questions and he looked at me like I was nuts! It was like because I said so and that should be enough. I'm not happy with this llmd.

Also wanted me to go back on the doxi. (I'd been on it for a year and leveled off so my reg. dr. put me on minox.) did well through the summer with it.

Started following this diet to the T! It sucked and then back a month later with peptic ulcer, he wanted to put me on another drug for that and get on the doxi. (I'd tried it for 2 weeks and the leaky gut came on strong!) So I went back to my minox.
Still having issues, and took out the chlorophyll, silver, tinsel. No leaky gut!!
Still some issues however so I ate the Wheaties I'm not supposed to with Raw milk which I'm not supposed to. better... trying to stay close to the diet only doing once a week.
Now .... still some issues so I ate a sandwich! YES bread!! Stomach issues relieved. the milk back helped, the wheaties back helped (I'd had issues bf an this and green beans for dinner did the trick)

I'm still laying low on the sugar... I know eating more then 3 cookies bothers me so i don't.
My acupuncturist also said bc sugar feeds the LYME but I'm not finding ANY studies to confirm it.

I really believe from most posts i'm seeing, it's these diets are to try to get the body in it's best healthiest condition.
It was making things hurt that never did! My entire intentional tract was back off track. After a few years of experimenting with different foods I'd gotten it under control and this totally messed me up again.

Rice turns into sugar... to answer one question... even brown rice.. not as bad as white but still will throw a diabetic into high sugar.
So I think it's all as a preventative measure...
I had no issues with most things after adding a few things like wheat for breakfast & milk with meals.
I do the balance meals (before this diet) meat, veggies, and starch.... never have issues until this.
Part is taking out processed food I get that with all the chemicals they add... but I was hoping someone knew of a study that could show why these are bad for ALL LYME patients.
I love the answers I got.
thanks for trying to help. :-)

I still believe that we know our bodies best, and should act accordingly.

Without combing through tons of research trying to make heads and tails of all of the talk about sugars, there is still one very good reason to leave sugar alone: Candida.

This is an opportunistic yeast that with only a little help, can get out of control in the body quickly. This issue is enough to keep the body busy enough to keep it from healing the tick-borne infections. And while on abx, you will be prone to an imbalance of bacteria in your intestines, giving Candida the perfect foothold to start.

Of course this is not to mention how highly processed regular table sugar is. I have an extra motivator as it really irritates my intestines. For anyone with a leaky gut, sugar is something that should be avoided as well.

I don't disagree...however my stomach seems to need the bread. so .... get candida or get peptic ulcers?
Or try low doses of bread and milk with loads of detox and anti-candida baths!
It's def. trial and error....

Can you make the rye bread in a bread machine Sulma?

I love hearty peasant breads, don't have a bread machine, but remember the work that goes into making bread. Would spend the money on a machine if I could make it in a bread machine.

Haven't read all posts, but einkorn wheat is supposed to be ok too.

If I could do those two in a bread machine, I'd buy one!!

My mouth is watering just thinking about rye bread!

Here's a fun fact about gluten:

Gluten shares a similar chemical structure to our thyroid hormones. That's cool, no biggie. However, if you have a leaky gut and gluten enters the blood stream, the body will track it down to remove it, since it's not supposed to be there. Also no biggie - that is what our immune systems are for! The problem arises because if this occurs often enough, the immune system may confuse gluten molecules with thyroid molecules, given they look similar.

If you are not celiac and you have a heart stomach then eat your wheat. If you have gut dysbiosis of sorts, there is an unusual and decent reason to take a gluten break.
