 I am homebound and my problems are started with three antibiotics 2 months ago. I have lost 20 Ibs and have become allergic to almost all foods except a few proteins which is making my body acidic.

Your body regualtes its pH in a very narrow range. Acidosis is a very rare condition. Don't buy in to the acid causes disease myth. The body has multiple ways of maintaining its proper pH. Even breathing reduces acidity.

I know I have leaky gut. Not sure about adrenals.

If you have allergies you have adrenal dysfunction. Allergies result from a lack of antihistamine and antileukotriene epinephrine and anti-inflammatory and immune modulating corticosteroids. This is why doctors use epinephrine and steroids to treat allergies. They are substituting for what the adrenals are failing to put out in sufficient quantities. If you check the adrenal support boards I have posted a lot of information on building up the adrenals.

Another symptom of adrenal dysfunction is chronic inflammatory conditions.

I am sure they are exhausted doctor even put me on some Cortef.

This is not the way to build the adrenals. High doses or long term use of steroids can actually shut the adrenals down.

I need to know is there anything I can do to help with food, so I can get nutrition. I can't work on the leaky gut if I my body is weak and I am going down hill. Is there any supplement that might help.

Yucca root is a good choice. The high content of saponins aid in the absorption of nutrients, and reduce inflammation. The riboflavin content will help the adrenals form their own steroids. 

I have tried digestive enzymes and I am sentivie to those to and my stomach burns because it is inflammed.

I prefer to stay away from enzymes. Again long term use of high doses will reduce the body's own production of the enzymes. Try eating more fresh ripe fruits and vegetables. These will have the needed enzymes. If you can tolerate pollen it has about 5,000 enzymes and co-enzymes and also supports adrenal function.

Please please any suggestions. Also does anybody know a good lab that will do Intenstinal Permability test? My family and I are scared. I am sure the acidity in my body is making it worse too.

Thanks,
Maggie
