Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Dear Elyse, You can increase the amount of digestive enzymes you take - some people need up to 8 capsules/tablets depending upon the size of their meal, etc. It would probably be best not to have any raw foods for awhile. You can't afford not to do enemas and puree your foods at this point. It will help you a lot. Do ensure you've eliminated all sugars and high carbs, esp. all grains. Try eating more protein, esp. eggs. I had about 8 eggs per day last year when I had my 2nd bout with candida - making the egg drink with coconut oil and cinnamon 3-4 times a day. It is very nutritious and will help keep your strength up during this time with little effort.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hi Elyse A year ago when I realized I had a candida overgrowth problem, I had a similar reaction to everything I ate. It was a lot more than just a few food intolerances; basically my body was reacting allergically to everything I put in my mouth. I felt it had to be because of the high candida levels. I had just started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) because of several gastric disorders at that time, too, so I just combined that with the elimination diet protocols that Bee has given us in our Files. I couldn't take any antifungals or probiotics because of the same allergic reaction. So I just followed food rotation principles with what foods I could tolerate on SCD that were also appropriate for candida elimination. Basically I just used diet alone to work on reducing the candida levels until I could begin to heal enough to add other helpful supplements to the battle. It worked for me, anyway, although slowly. I could finally manage homemade yogurt at 5 months, was able to cut back on food rotation and eat some vegetables every day instead of once a week. Finally at 8 months I could handle some garlic and onion once a week. Now that I've been on the elimination diet about a year, I'm finally able to have a small serving of fruit 4 or 5 days a week; in another few months I might even try cheese again!! Just wanted you to know that just sticking to an elimination diet alone will help. As your body gets stronger, then you can tackle some of the other strategies that will help kill off the candida. Once I could handle yogurt things improved more rapidly; but I had to wait until my body was ready to accept it. Kim M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Hi Michele >Has your sinus infection been treated?< Sinuses are not too bad at present, but never really clear. Coughing produces white pugs which can turn dirty, then clear again on the same day. I am experimenting with the odd taste by temporarily stopping taking my acid reflux med. This seems to be working.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 : Have you been cultured for mold? It is possible that you picked one up during your protracted infection - having the spore colonies in your sinus might also explain your hypersensitivity. Might explain the taste too. ie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Hi ie Been a while since I had a nose swab analysed. Will bring it up with my ENT surgeon when I see him next month. I think he will sign me off after 10 years, as my sinuses are much improved, but it is the returned asthma which is currently my biggest problem. Regards . > > : > > Have you been cultured for mold?

Guest guest Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 hello , I wonder does your 'simple ointment' contain " salicylic acid " or " salicylates " ? If so are you aware of aspirin sensitivity, AIA, etc as discussed on here in the library? hope it helps Andy (UK) > > Has anyone any new information on food reactions? > After " crowing " last year that my polyps and asthma were under > control, this year has been a nightmare, and I seem to be more > sensitive than at any time previously.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 > > I know B1 helps with phenol reactions. What other vitamins help with > food reactions. Depends on which foods you are trying to address. My son needed thyroid supps, mito supps, carotene conversion supps, supps for proper calcium absorption. You name it, my son has required it LOL What foods are you trying to address? Dana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Tomatoes are the biggest problem here!!!! But its wierd... the reaction seems to be worse when she is not on the SNT.. so something in there is helping her, but on the other hand....when I give those vitalmins, she just sits on the couch and is really mad all day. So something in there is not good either. On Feb 24, 2009, at 8:26 AM, danasview wrote: > > > > > I know B1 helps with phenol reactions.
