I know that sugar is bad in lymees but what about honey and natural maple syrup? Is it ok to use these things in your food since they are naturally occurring sugars and not processed crap? I know honey has antibacterial properties but not sure about natural maple syrup. Thanks for reading!

No. You're body doesn't know the difference between natural or processed sugar when it comes to feeding spirochetes. Same goes for large amounts of fruit (especially fruit juice, even without sugar added).

Crispy often those with Lyme are recommended to follow a paleo-type diet. So take a look at that. All fruits are not the same in terms of the amount of fructose contained. You need to have a well-rounded and balanced diet that does involve some fruits. Be careful though not to overdue it. You can also look at FODMAPs or SCDs diets as well.

If you are going to do honey, take a look at raw honey it has antibacterial properties.

darn I have been living off of grass fed local meat and rice and beans. I love rice and beans and cheese but it sounds like a no no. I have taken some food grade Diatomaceous earth and the first few days it was like I had champagne in my guts all day. I figured it was bacteria and or yeast just dying off. I will have to look at my diet better because my guts have been messed up for a couple years and I just thought it was due to my eating crap. Does anyone have links to a correct diet that I should follow? I have been eating yogurt every morning as well trying to get my gut flora back in action. Maybe I should just not eat any dairy I was really enjoying, organic cereal with organic whole milk yogurt, raw honey, mixed with a glob of teddys peanut butter with a banana. Its pretty good but sounds like its the wrong idea to heal.
