Re: New here with questions - iodine and leaky gut/candida

[Guest guest]

Yes, the iodine protocol can be taken with leaky gut & candida. has

spoken about her own gut issues in the past and perhaps a forum search with

'stephanie leaky gut' might bring you some results to look at. I recall that

she said that she uses Iodoral instead of Lugol's because she felt it was easier

on her gut. Other people have no problem with the Lugol's so it is an

individual choice. Lugol's works out to be less expensive.

But of course the protocol will be much more effective when the gut is better.

The best thing to heal leaky gut is a short term high dose of glutamine. Dr.'s

Eades discuss this in one of their books, giving exact dosages & length of time

- I think it was two weeks or something.

I also read and another list member speaking highly of Dr. Chris

Meletis, ND so I checked out his website and see that he has some really good

articles ... one of which speaks to the importance of Glutamine for gut health.

I think you will want to take enough Iodoral or Lugols (50-100mg)

and your doses of Armour and HC are half what they should be. docs

get confused about dosing. HC is best taken 5mg 4X a day and Armour

is not dosed to TSH.

I am wondering if iodine is okay to take with a leaky gut

Yes iodine is fine to take with leaky gut. I also had this problem and use

Iodoral. Also fine for candida, there are a lot of folks with candida who use

iodine.
