The link doesn't work, but google it if you have GI symptoms. Treatment is long term abx, which I find to be very interesting.

So, it is okay to take long-term antibiotics for this, but not for lyme.

And yet, before the HMOs of the late 1980's, the CDC was recommending long-term treatment for lyme, including IVs.
