Re: healthy stomach questions

Fabia--

I only have this information second hand, but a good friend of mine found

that herbalists and homeopaths in the UK were very eager to treat her for

candidaisis when she was suffering terribly in graduate school. That might

be an avenue to pursue.

Best wishes,

Someone asked about this- sorry, I get the digest version and its such a

pain to scroll through and re-read and find the name of the person who

asked!

Anyway, the general consensus regarding healthy stomach flora really

seems to be to get acidophillus in there. As you know, its a pacteria

that is found in there naturally, but if there is more than kess, it

helps eat up yeasts. At least, I believe thats the story-it feeds on

it,right? Anyone?

You can get acidophillus in a number of ways. THe best way appears to be

to dish out the bucks for the LIVE refrigerated supplemenst found in the

health food store. I think you can get dried stuff that is claimed to be

live, but thats really debatable.

Another way is to eat yogurt, but keep in mind that unless ou eat

unsweetened you are getting lotso sugar, whihc feeeds yeast, so clearly

you dont want to get into that. Also you would have to eat at least a

cup every day, AND, I read somewhere that doctors debalet how much

acidophillus really is contained in commercial yogurt. That homemade is

best. Now you are getting into making it NAD eating it.

THe last way, and maybe common sense would dictate this to be the least

effective is to drink acidophillus milk. I have no idea how much

acidophillus is actually in there. I have read nothing about it. Someone

just mentioned it to me as a possibility.

Interestingly, a visit to the dermatologist today resulted in her

recommending to get into taking oral acidophillus, the live kind that is

refrigerated. This being based on the likelihood that my original

problem was yeast.

The other thing that I read about in a natural health magazine regarding

bitter greens, leafy greens that contain certain compunds that make them

taste bitter. APparently besides aiding in digestion they do other

groovy things, and I imagine that they are NOT the kind of thing yeast

likes to eat, but dont quote me on that one. THe article did not refer

to yeast prevention. I merely wondered whether generally a healthy

stomach and digestive tract would naturally ward off yeast, or at least,

yeast OVER growth, which is really the issue.

Good Luck!
