Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hi No, you are definitely not losing your mind! Candida is a real thing and many of us have the same symptoms as you do. It's just that the medical community wants to pass these symptoms off as 'normal' since they have no other explanation for them - they don't fit into their nice little boxes that the pharmaceutical industry has set out. About the egg drink... Yes, you are getting bloating because the coconut oil, butter and eggs are all antifungal. You are just starting on this program, so remember to start slowly. More is *not* better when it comes to natural health. If you over-do things and go too quickly, your body won't know what to do and shut down the healing process, so you don't want to do that. Just take it nice and slowly. Take care, > > > Hello. <snip> > Have any of you experienced severe bloating within maybe 5 or 10 minutes of drinking the egg drink? That usually happens after I eat something but I was so surprised when it happened in such a short time after drinking the drink. Is it because of the anti-fungals in the coconut oil reacting with the candida? <snip> > > Chris > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Hi just wanted to let you know that *severe* bloating is the story of my life... You are not alone my dear. I keep thinking on how to *invent* a valve one could install somewhere on the abdomen so it could be opened as often as needed and all the stubborn gas would just come out.. :) carmen > Have any of you experienced severe bloating within maybe 5 or 10 minutes of > drinking the egg drink?

I've used it quite a bit and it's replaced my snacks but I feel I'm gonna get sick of it quick and I was gagging last time. I'm putting like 2-3 tablespoons of butter and 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil and when it's done, all that fat rises to the top and it kinda grosses me out. Maybe I'm using too much fats. While i've posted, what do all the good fats do for us to heal us? +++Hi . Your question about good fats is explained in my main candida article, which it appears you need to read more carefully: How to Successfully Overcome Candida: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php +++Are you sure you made the drink correctly, adding boiled water last, etc. The egg drink can tend to separate but the fat wouldn't be noticeable at the top if it was made right. You need to keep stirring it up if it takes longer for you to drink it. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi , Just before Christmas I started having problems taking the egg drink. It would make me gag, too. It's not 100% necessary to have the egg drink. People find it easier to get their fat intake, though. If you don't take the egg drink, make sure you are still getting enough fat. So, for example, you could have fried eggs with butter for breakfast, meat and veggies for lunch and the same for dinner. When you don't take the egg drink, your meals will literally be floating in coconut oil. This means that your meals will likely need to be served in a bowl with a spoon! Foods like stews/soup or chili help disguise the amount of oil. You can also make a smaller portion of egg drink if you like, using just one egg and 1 Tsbp each of butter and coconut. > > Has anyone had a problem getting the egg drink down?

I eat them with a spoon. It is good to know that I don't HAVE to take it, even though I liked it in the beginning... but what about the cinnamon? don't I have to take it since it is antifungal? and isn't it working together with the eggs? maybe it is not so important?

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Marisa, You don't have to take Cinnamon. It's not an essential part of the diet and not something you even have to put in the egg drink if you don't want to. The egg drink recipe is very easy to alter/manipulate to your own personal taste preferences. jackie > > > but what about the cinnamon? don't I have to take it since it is antifungal? and isn't it working together with the eggs? maybe it is not so important?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 I have been drinking it straight raw eggs, fats, and cold tap water. Guess that explains why it was all clumped up and all. So I was looking at the mountain herbs site and I would like to try it with cinnamon and stevia powder and i seen i can get it from there. if i wanna drink two egg drinks a day to try and get in my fats, would i need 8 oz bags of each of those or? I don't know where to get those organic here. first egg drink i had i put regular cinnamon and i can tell i wouldn't want much of it. just enough to give a lil taste. thanks everyone for answering my posts. i'm trying to get it all figured out. > > +++Hi .

It will be extremely filling as you are able to take more butter and coconut oil. My drink keeps me satisfied from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Hi , Are you making the Egg Drink according to the recipe using the total amount of butter and coconut oil as it is listed in the recipe? I ask because many folks who are new to the program can't handle that much butter and coconut oil without becoming nauseous or experiencing a lot of debilitating die-off symptoms. Consequently a new person to the program will often cut back on the amount of fats in the egg drink to minimize die-off symptoms. When you minimize the fats, the egg drink is not as " filling.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Hi Jackie, It was me (JDM) who asked about the egg drink. Yes, I follow the recipe. I even add and extra egg yolk. The 2 T of coconut oil and 2 T of butter do not bother me. Today I even decided to add 4T of ground raw pecans and still it only carried me about 2 hrs. I don't know??

Today I even > decided to add 4T of ground raw pecans and still it only carried me > about 2 hrs. I'm wondering if you are accidentally eating any carbohydrates that are NOT permitted on the program? I say that because after you eat carbohydrates, insulin is released by the pancreas, which then lowers blood sugar. Which in turn causes hunger. When your carbs are increased, your hunger is increased. I mention this because previously one lady in this group was accidentally consuming *forbidden* carbs without realizing it. She was eating some vegetables from the grocery store that had been prepared with whey (and dairy is not permitted on this program). As well, she was making her bone broth the traditional way, using celery, onions, and carrots (carrots are not permitted on this program). Eating foods not on Bee's list could be the problem. Hopefully you are able to eat using the protein-fat-carb ratios that Bee recommends (unless you are very new to the program and still working up to getting enough fat into your diet). For every gram of protein you eat, you should be eating 2.5 to 3.5 times as much fat. And eating only 80% as many carbs. Carbs should be the least of what you eat. Ratios are all explained on Bee's website here: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/foods8.php Are you eating enough fat yet? That would be 6 tbsp of coconut oil per day as well as the cod liver oil, and the rest of the recommended ratio of good saturated fat. I've read time and time again that when people eat the recommended amount of fat, they finally feel satiety and rarely experience hunger.

Guest guest Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 JDM, I just wanted to say, if your ratios are good and you are getting at least the recommended amount of good fats... and no more than the recommended carbs... and you are still hungry... Eat more This is what I do. As in, increase your protein and fat. I easily eat a pound of meat (covered in melted butter/coconut oil) at one meal. I am finding that my hunger leves are gradually abating... but I can still put it away. And I'm a fairly skinny woman Enjoy, & cheers andra > > Iuse nutritiondata.com to track my foods.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2009 Report Share Posted March 29, 2009 > > Hello, > I know you say we shouldn't have more than 3 meals a day, but is the egg drink considered a meal? I usually eat one for breakfast and one for a snack. Is that ok? I did search your site and there is one daily plan in which the egg drink is used as a snack. +++Hi erika. Yes the egg drink is considered a meal all-in-one if you are able to tolerate 3 eggs and the fats, which is the complete meal recipe. Some people have to start with 1 egg or egg yolk and less fats, etc. because eggs, butter, coconut oil, and cinnamon are antifungal. It is better not to snack, but to get through the initial stages of this program it is better to snack on something nutritious like the Egg Drink.

When I refrigerate the egg drink it tastes even better. Yes, the coconut oil becomes harder, but not solid. You just shake well (It doesn't stay blended) your drink and you are ready to enjoy it.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Bee, This is , Just want to let you know that the egg drink is the better than chocolate. I have not eaten any offending foods since I decided to take the plunge with the egg drink. I drink it three times a day (six eggs). My kids love it also; they beg me to make it for them; I add a little rapadura for them of course. I have one quick question though: Am I eating too many eggs? Also, when I have these egg drinks I am so full, that I do not feel like eating anything else. Sometimes, I am even too full to take my supplements. To be honest, the egg drink is better than solid food. Is that a bad think if I do not eat solid food and skip supplements once in a while?

I have one quick question though: Am I eating too many eggs? +++Hi . That's fabulous you like the egg drink so much! I have it every morning and it is delicious. Please do not add rapadura to the drink - it's a natural sugar but it feeds candida big time! Instead use stevia powder - ground up stevia leaf, which is green. No it is not possible to eat too many eggs. Look at this man who consumed 25 soft boiled eggs every day: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/eggs1.php Besides the fact that the whole Cholesterol Theory is totally false - here's the article on the true causes of heart disease: http://westonaprice.org/moderndiseases/hd.html Also see Cholesterol And Heart Disease - A Phony Issue: http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/fats_phony.html Also, when I have these egg drinks I am so full, that I do not feel like eating anything else. Sometimes, I am even too full to take my supplements. To be honest, the egg drink is better than solid food. Is that a bad think if I do not eat solid food and skip supplements once in a while? +++Try not to skip your supplements, but it's okay to have the Egg Drink as a meal-in-one.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 Amy, How do you know your son doesn't like " egg " flavor? Maybe he just doesn't like the newness of the drink. Try fixing them scrambled or eggs, or over-easy cooked in butter to see what they like. My son's favorite was hard boilde eggs. During Christmas, You can chill Bee's egg drink and dress it up with nutmeg on top disguised as egg nog. They'll love it. Come to think of it, maybe they don't like having a hot drink during summer. Try chilling it, then offering it as a cool-down drink later in the day. I am surprised that you removed the butter from their egg drink since I find the butter to be the most delicious part! Also, remember that " Hunger is the best cook. " Other things that can be made with the egg drink are custards. Please check recipes in the group files and on Bee's main site. It is the same nutrition, disguised as desert. As for children and their diets, I found it best to fix the same thing for myself. Sit down with them and eat what they eat. Also, make announcements like " When we're finished eating we'll go to ... " a place the children love to go or an activity they love to do. I find they or anyone will eat quickly just to get to that place or do that activity. I've used this on my children and also on my own grandmother when she had dimentia. It is even better if this is a daily habit. I get the feeling from your letter that the children are holding out for a favorite food that they know will be offered if they turn down the egg drink. This is a trap for the parents. It is really best to not offer additional foods after they turn down their breakfast. Just my personal opinion. Involving your children in making meals is a good strategy. Let them choose one meal per day or per week to fix together or if old enough, by themselves. This way they will know what is allowed and dissallowed and will learn healthy choices. My son got addicted to sugar very early on but when given choices of meal preparation he spearheaded fixing healthy meals. I would allow him a 'desert' after meals but he became less and less interested in the desert and focused more on preparing and eating delicious meals. Nan >Posted by: " Amy Fischer " write2amyf@... write2amyf Fri Jul 17, 2009 2:42 pm (PDT) Has anyone experimented and found ways to enhance the egg drink for kids? My kids will only take one sip to appease me, and I feel like if they would just drink it their hunger would subside and we could get their fat levels up! I tried omitting the butter, and just to *see* if they would drink it, put a few drops of Agave (which they did like) but I know that is not acceptable because of the sugar. Should I just try the agave to get them used to the drink and wean them off the agave part, or skip the drink all together? Today I tried mixing a fruit flavored tea with it and they did not like that at all. (I personally love it mixed with coffee as someone else suggested a few months back, so that is where I got the idea.) My son does not like the egg flavor, so I am trying to mask that, and I think it is not sweet enough for my daughter. They did not seem to like the Stevia. Hoping someone has a tip.

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2009 Report Share Posted July 18, 2009 also dont forget you can freeze the egg drink in popsicle molds- this worked really well for the children in the beginning. sometimes they have their oil melted in a cup of tea- they like mint tea a lot with a touch of stevia. They also like 'deviled eggs' and will eat as many as I will give them (using homemade condiments of course). HTH, Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 18, 2009 Report Share Posted September 18, 2009 > > Thanks Bee. I am a little confused how as to have the egg drink. Do you add the egg a teaspoon at a time? I guess I was confused - I thought you had to do the egg drink the entire 9 days. Can I piggy back pure green juices freshly made with the broths? Does the boiled water get added after it has cooled down or is it boiling when you pour it onto the egg? If boiling will this cook the egg? (I have been on the candida for sometime waivering with an occasional break down of fruit or a sneak of one bit of wheat or cheese (2 times a week). I think I just need to go to the full blown version 9-day to really get rid of things. > Thank you BEE! +++Hi. Is your name Judith? No, the egg drink isn't taken the whole 9 days, since it is simply an example of the kinds of liquid foods you can have. Start with 1 egg yolk, and less of the other ingredients, i.e. butter, coconut oil and spices - add more boiled water to make it easier to drink. The water is boiling when you pour it in, so yes it does cook the egg. I don't recommend having any kind of green drinks, which I don't have time to explain. You can have bone broths, soup, herbal non-decaffeinated tea, Bee's Electrolyte Drink on the first day, which is totally a liquid diet. After that add pureed foods. You are not going to get " rid of things " just by doing the 9-day program. It is intended to help you get through severe die-off symptoms, and of course it means you need to be following the program carefully, including foods and all supplements. It takes 1 month of natural healing for every year you've been unhealthy, so that takes time, patience and persistence on the program. During healing your body will go through many ups and downs because of how the body heals itself.
