Faith, Have you tried using digestive enzymes at all? I don't get heartburn

often but once at a party, I ate lots of stuff that made me very ill. To

the point where I had a headache, nausua and major burning of the stomach

and throat. A herbalist at the party offered me " Digest More " or " Digest

More Ultra " by ???. Within 20 minutes of taking the digestive enzymes the

pain and headache disappeared. It was as if I never ate anything bad. I've

heard lots of good things about digestive enzymes and I don't believe they

interfere with healing candida. However, I don't have any expertise there.

Maybe this is something you can try.

Yes Candace, I do use Betaine Hydrochloride with Pepsin. I need that for

proper digestion of my proteins. I think that was a flook yesterday because I

don't have it today. I am glad you found something to help you with your

indigestion.

Dear Faith,

You may experience problems with raw veggies, like salads, so you

should probably eat steammed veggies, especially greens. Have greens

and other veggies with lemon juice and butter (mixed), which is

delicious and aids digestion.

Do remember it takes time for the body to respond, so you cannot expect

to feel better so soon.

When you get an upset stomach take some baking soda in warm water.

Joyce,

would you mind describing the major indigestion symptom, related to a

candida flare up? What happens exactly? (indigestion is such a broad term).

tasting it. This happens when I have good meals also that are on the diet. My

whole life I've eaten bad food and carbs. So I know my body isn't used to the

fats. I've read others talk about feeling like they don't feel their bodies can

use the fats.

I'll get runny movements a lot. It's pretty disgusting burping and tasting egg

drink hours later. Is this something that over time my body will be able to

digest the fats or whatever it is that is making me burp up and not digest?

+++Hi . Your body is well equipped to digest the " good " fats I recommend

because they aren't digested the way unnatural fats are. They are readily

absorbed without needing any kind of enzymes nor even bile in order for them to

be absorbed and utilized. In fact they go directly from the intestines through

the lacteals in the walls of the intestines. The lacteals go through the

lymphatic system, and then directly into the bloodstream. So no one would have

any kind of fat digestion problems if they consume the " good " fats.

Of course all nutrients work together, and so the fats also need omega 3, and

vitamins A, D & E, protein, minerals, etc., etc. in order to be utilized like

they should. But that has nothing to do with digestion or absorption.

There will be many changes in your symptoms as you adjust to all of the great

foods, which are healing your body.

Your runny movements are because that's a way your body gets rid of toxins.

I'm sure your burping will eventually subside too. Burping doesn't mean you

aren't digesting foods okay; it is caused mainly by gas, which is created by

candida when it is being killed off, and some foods. Eggs are high in sulphur

(one of the 7 macro-minerals your body requires) and it is antifungal so that

could explain your symptoms too.

Also some people may swallow air while eating or drinking without even realizing

it, particularly if they are stressed. I suggest you do some deep breathing

exercises just before you eat, to minimize air swallowing - the instructions are

on my website.

All the best, Bee
