Good fats and digestion

[Guest guest]

I started eating a Nourishing Traditions Diet about 6 years ago, but am still

struggling with Candida. I have symptoms of High Copper/Low Zinc as well. I seem

to do better with cooked oils then non-cooked.

I mostly have cooked Coconut oil when I used it, but started taking Virgin

Coconot Oil by the tsp with meals. But I get nausea when I take it. I read the

following in an article on Bee's site:

" These " good " fats do not require stomach acid, digestive enzymes nor bile in

order to digest them. Most of these " good " fats go directly from the digestive

system through the lymphatic system and into the bloodstream. "

Why is it that I seem to need more stomach acid when eating good fats?

+++Hi there. Welcome to our group. That's wonderful you are already following

getting great foods as recommended by Sally in her cookbook Nourishing

Traditions.

The reason you become nauseated when you take coconut oil is not because of

digestion problems, low acid, etc. - it is because coconut oil is antifungal,

antibacterial, antiviral, etc. which causes die-off symptoms. Die-off symptoms

include nausea as described in this article:

We have many candida sufferers come here from the Weston A. Price Foundation

because foods they include feed candida, and sufferers require a special diet

like mine.

Also Candida is not cured by " killing it off. " It just doesn't work that way.

Candida is only cured by building up the immune system, which is done by:

1) Consuming " proper nutrients " (diet plus supplements),

2) Eliminating toxins and foods that feed candida (they also feed bacteria and

cancer),

3) Eliminating damaging foods, and

4) Eliminating toxins in general.

Please ensure you read two important articles, so you understand candida, and

know what you need to do and why:

1) How to Successfully Overcome Candida
