Autichic/ yeast studies

[Guest guest]

Following is a selection of studies you or your doctor may be

interested in. When looking at yeast studies there are several

qualifiers. For one, there are different types of 'candida' so

sometimes it is listed in general, sometimes by a specific strain,

sometimes just as 'fungi' etc. As for the enzymes, there are several

enzymes that work on yeast, even on different parts of the yeast.

Proteases do one thing, cellulases another, 1,3-beta-glucanases do

another, these are different than what 1,4-beta-glucanases or 3,6-

beta-glucanases...you get the point. Some compounds fight yeast by

inhibiting growth (which is different than proactively attacking

it). So it gets complicated fast.

Another point when discussing cellulase and yeast, is that

cellulose/fiber may be undigested and end up in the colon. So the

bacteria/yeast can feed on it and grow. The excess waste causes

mucus to build up in the intestines. This further protects the

bacteria and yeast by creating a physical barrier that inhibits the

body's natural means of controlling bacteria and yeast (one theory

of proponents anyway). By supplementing with cellulases or fiber

digesting enzymes, you reduce the amount of food and fuel for the

bad guys as well as reduce any physical barriers protecting them.

The SCDiet essentially attempts to do the same thing by eliminating

fibrous foods from the diet entirely. I prefer the enzyme route

myself but at least there are choices.
