" Also, his blood tests came back for copper and zinc levels. They

reveal that the levels are too high "

Both copper and zinc were too high?

Or just copper?

Hi , I wonder what your boy is eating as well after 7 months. To

naturally combat candida, I give my little one good ol' guacamole to

dip her chicken fingers. My dr calls it " your candida bomb " .

But you only want to give it if he's already at the stage where he

can handle raw veggies. Here it is:

2 ripe avocados

2 garlic cloves

1/2 onion

a bunch of cilantro

juice of a lemon

salt, pepper, origan

bit of olive oil

Put everything in mixer and that's it! It's very tasty

good luck.

Hi Shiela,

Sam eats chicken, turkey,lamb, beef, zucchini, sqash, carrots,

cucumber, lettuce. If I can I try to sneak in some cauliflower and

broccoli.

He was having cashew bread and honey, but since the tests came back

I've stopped honey. He was eating banana, but I've now also stopped

that.

I juices for him every day fruit & veggies. Say today I juices 1 kg

of apples, 1 kg of carrots, 1 lemon, 2 stalks of celery, ginger

root. Sometimes I use spinach. I alternate apples for pears. This

makes up about 1 tire of juice and he will drink this diluted during

the day.

Hi Jody,

I'm pretty sure the doctor said both were high.

Hi ,

Another quick question first

How are his stools?

Any change since SCD?

What probiotic and how much? Any supplements

Hmm, sorry that wasn't one question.

Hi Shiela,

I stopped honey and have reduced friut so stools are a lot better

now. Before the change they were loose and light coloured and

grainy.

Pre SCD Sam had on and off D. Since SCD they have been better, lots

of trophy's but he still has D from time to time. I can usually pin

point he culprit food.

I use the custom probiotics L acidophilus powder. I small scoop in

the morning and 1 at night. He was using the Thropps Enzyme but we

stopped about 1 month ago.

Hi again ,

Just reread your posts and see that you are restarting yogurt. That

should help with the candida along with reducing the fruit and honey

and may be more effective than the probiotics alone. Slow and

steady improvement is a really good thing. I occasionally do the

garlic and onion thing - for impending colds & flus ( I didn't as

much this winter and paid for it.) I also use ginger. I don't know

if that helps with candida but it certainly helps wipe out other

stuff. I either make a tea with it (strain out the ginger after

steeping) or through it in with the onion, garlic and a little

cayeene. Awful tasting but effective. Again I am not sure if that

will also help with the candida.

I haven't any suggestions about the copper and zinc, but hope others

will give advice on this.
