And eat gluten free, organic , everything from scratch diet (for past 12 years).

I think I may one of those people who don't methylate/detox--? That is what a

naturopath is telling me .

I'm wondering if these detox and gluten sensitivity problems existed before the

lyme, or if they were caused by the Bb infection?

I never had such problems until I got Lyme. Developing Lyme takes time, so one

can never really pinpoint when the gut/detox trouble started. I can imagine the

gut gets damaged from antibiotics, and damaging the galbladder with rocephin

will also create problems down the road. But I have heard others who had these

problems already before they started ABX treatment.

I was eating pretty healthy before I got ill, and never had any problems with

gluten, carbs or whatever - I am not 'allergic' now, but if I eat normal bread

for a few days or weeks, my gut starts to protest. Similar issues with carbs

etc.

Is leaky gut caused by Lyme or a side effect of antibiotic treatment?

for sure there are other causes than just these. But I would be interested to

know if there is some more solid cause/effect info. Maybe leaky gut is a

pre-existing condition for Lyme because it impacts the gut and the immune

system? And I can imagine ABX makes things worse ...

My gluten problem was definitely due to Lyme because I never took abx for it. I

never had an issue with my gut until the Lyme showed up.
