S.O.S. I have had Lyme and suffering with malabsorption and IBS (constant 'rice water') for 20 yrs. I am allergic to antibiotics. Do any of you have the same problems? Also, CNS, CFS, Candida, and more!

Check into the possibility that you may have parasites. Parasites and worms can play a major role in all of the symptoms you mention above
Check out the symptoms for parasites by googling parasites and symptoms. You can do a search on here also. Have you considered doing any herbs? Specifically antiparasitic herbs.

Maybe an enzyme issue? If you are low in one of the group of enzymes, then you wouldn't digest that type of food, either proteins, fats or carbs. I found that I am low in Lipase and not able to digest fats enough for their health benefit.
I have added Essential Enzymes and will retest in a month to see any improvement.

My "IBS" went away after treating for parasites. Yours sounds a bit worse than mine, but I do think it could help if you do it. It's very easy. 2 weeks of Caprasite (1 bottle), then two weeks off, then 1 more bottle. You can get it on line. It's by Mt. Capra.
I also agree you probably need to take digestive enzymes with every meal.
Hope this helps.

Yes! I got rid of it through parasite treamtent. Bartonella treatment also helped. I needed a lot longer treatment for it than tick battler though because mine was more severe like yours is.
I did four rounds of Humaworm 90 days apart. I also used Nutramedix enula for roundworms for many months.

YES and its SO frustrating! I was diagnosed with Autonomic Neuropathy on top of the Lyme but I KNOW there is something else happening and am currently searching myself.
Last winter I could actually FEEL my food just sit and not be digested/used/absorbed and I would feel like I had low blood sugar because the food was not being absorbed, it was horrible. My brain/body was saying...EAT EAT, your starving, but I knew I just ate! RRRRR
What are your symptoms like?
I blew up, inflammed and my skin would hurt with certain foods and my stomach looked like I was about to give birth as I was SEVERELY constipated from the neuropathy as well as inflammed.
Do you have any obvious imflammation??
Finally I had to just do protein shakes with greens in them and stewed low sugar fruit and very steamed green veggies.This did seem to give my digestive system the rest it needed and me some relief.
I then added High quality digestive enzymes, Zone eicos fish oils (which definitely helped with inflammation)and am currently trying the tincture Spilanthes which is a natural treatment for Malaria and the like.
Since your allergic to abx, have you tried any natural alternatives? Cat's claw and spilanthes and others?
Any positive results from anything you have tried? What are you currently trying?
There are so many systems that could be effected thats what is so frustrating. Are you seeing a LLMD?
Sorry for all the questions, just wanting to understand better.
I DO KNOW one thing. It is SO frustrating and debilitating and painful. People have no idea what its like to live in a body that is misfiring and mixed signaled and not working up to par.
I'm hoping that something in this feed that someone said or suggested helps you find at least a touch of relief!
