Everyone is different but some things need to be avoided across the board.
1. Avoid refined sugars at all cost. Sugar is very immune suppressive and it also can feed candida. A lot of people with Lyme have candida issues, whether they’re on antibiotics or not. Antibiotics perpetuate the whole thing. Even if someone is not taking antibiotics, a lot of Lyme people can be prone to yeast issues. You want your immune system fighting as hard as possible, so anything to suppress immune function is not good. Even fruit sugar can be problematic in some people, especially those taking antibiotics who have candida issues. In these people, fruit has to be limited.
2, Wheat and grains because there are very inflammatory. It’s a source of inflammation in the body and gives the immune system one more thing to deal with.
3. All processed foods of any kind.
4. Beans of any kind. Full of lectins that cause lots of inflammation.
Most Lyme-literate physicians recommend, a paleolithic diet. It used to be that the only food any human on this earth ate was wholesome and organic but now such a naturally required style of eating is being mocked. Now since we've destroyed and contaminated a good portion of our food supply, we have been bestowed with the additional task of questioning what we eat; alongside finding food in the first place. I only eat grass fed, free range meats. Only wild fish, not farmed. I try to eat local vegetable and fruit when in season and then buy off season what needs to be organic.
