Short answer:

To save lives and give the treatment a chance to work. Really, even a trace of gluten can be very damaging for many lyme patients, for various reasons.

I'm sure you will get more detailed answers tomorrow.

Here's a basic start:

Gluten causes inflamation, which we Lyme folk already have problems with.

It is also a factor in celiac, irritable bowel syndrome, and/or leaky gut syndrome.

A good book is "Life Without Bread" by Dr. Allan and Dr. Lutz

There is a new book that I haven't read yet, "Wheat Belly" by Dr. William Davis
