Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Why can have honey and fruit on SCD despite the yeast?. There are two reasons for this. 1)Honey has predigested sugars which are most likely to cross the intestinal absorptive surface into the blood steam and thereby be inaccessible for intestinal yeast and bacteria.(From Elaine) 2)The yeast lives in a biofilm inside our intestines.Biofilms are comprised of a primary layer of bacteria that provide an attractive environment for other bacteria and larger organisms The yeast cannot flourish in our gut without the other gut pathogens If we cut down on the other gut pathogens with SCD then the yeast cannot do well. Below are excerpts from this website: http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/Education/biofilm/intro.htm#intro What Are Biofilm Communities? Biofilms are a hot topic in microbiology today. Scientists are studying the ways bacterial colonies form these slimey layers, which can be resistant to antiobiotics and the immune system, in hopes that new information will help us understand how the layers form, adhere to surfaces, and how they can be prevented. Biofilms moved to the forefront of microbiology after a 1994 case that involved the infection of hundreds of asthmatics. It was found that all the asthmatics used the same inhalant contaminated with a bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. This bacterium was able to survive the routine disinfection of the inhalant during manufacturing by forming a biofilm comprised of many colonies. The contaminated inhalers contained pieces of the biofilm which were transported directly to the lung tissue by the asthmatics. In the lung tissue the Pseudomonas biofilm was able to flourish. One hundred people died from the biofilm infection, a dramatic example of the danger posed by some bacterial biofilms. Biofilms can be found in many areas of the human body and the environment. Teeth, intestines, medical devices, contact lenses, drainage pipes, and the bottoms of ships. The common demoniator is all the biofilms are comprised of a primary layer of bacteria that provide an attractive environment for other bacteria and larger organisms. Biofilms found on the hull of a ship consist of large organisms like barnacles, mussels, and host of other zooplankton and phytoplankton. These biofilms slow a ship and are expensive to remove and prevent. Current methods to prevent biofilm formation on ships include a wide variety of toxic marine paints. However, these paints tend to wear off and biofilms which are resistant form on them without regard to the toxins.

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 im just curious to this as i wud desparately love to use honey in our cooking - we have a dreadful candida problem and i am aware that many ppl do cure candida by following a low yeast sugar diet never mind a no sugar no yeast one its just our nutritionist has advised us no honey for 6 mths as well as no fruit because of the fructose in it and its just everything tastes so bland without even a teaspoon - am i to assume its again a personal thing or does even elaine recommend that we limit it in the first few months, or ban it altogether? thx emma > Why can have honey and fruit on SCD despite the yeast?. > > There are two reasons for this. > > 1)Honey has predigested sugars which are most likely to cross the > intestinal absorptive surface into the blood steam and thereby be > inaccessible for intestinal yeast and bacteria.(From Elaine) > > 2)The yeast lives in a biofilm inside our intestines.Biofilms are > comprised of a primary layer of bacteria that provide an attractive > environment for other bacteria and larger organisms > > The yeast cannot flourish in our gut without the other gut pathogens > > If we cut down on the other gut pathogens with SCD then the yeast > cannot do well. > > Below are excerpts from this website: > http://www.mdsg.umd.edu/Education/biofilm/intro.htm#intro > > What Are Biofilm Communities?
