question about stomach pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Bee,

my next question would be related to the pain I am experiencing the

last 3 weeks somewhere around my stomach/duodenum. This pain doesn't

really seem to be related to whether I have eaten or not, or what I

have eaten. I have read that on low-carb diets gastritis and such

should disappear, so I am a getting worried. This is a different pain

from the one around kidneys/groin, it feels a bit like my stomach (or

duodenum? I can't say because I never had pain before in my life in

neither stomach nor duodenum) would be contracted or empty even though

it's not. Could it be from the wrong type of fats I use (my previous

mail)? Or could it be from digestive enzymes I took plenty in the

beggining? I got some digestive enzymes for candida (protease and

cellulase) and on the bottle it says " don't take if you have

inflammatory bowel disease or gastritis " , and I had mild gastritis

some months ago, before the start of the diet. I didn't have a clue,

are they really that harmful for gastritis? When I read that about 2

weeks ago, I have stopped taking digestive enzymes. Well anyhow,

despite removing digestive enzymes from my diet (except some protease

in my multi that I take with food) the pain didn't seem to improve. Or

could the pain be because of the ascorbic acid or a herbal mix for

candida/parasites which I also took plenty the first month on diet?

But since quitting all that more than a month ago already, the pain is

still here... Maybe this pain arose from all the pain in the

groin/kidney area?

The last month I am taking only the following supplements:

- a multivitamin which also contains some protease

http://www.vitacost.com/productResults.aspx?Ntk=products & ss=1 & x=0 & y=0 & Ntt=low%20\

carb%20multi

- vitamin D 4000IU (for 2 months now, I was deficient in it, as well

in tryglicerides and cholesterol)

- vitamin E 1000IU

- vitamin B complex 50

- coenzyme q10

- himalayan salt

- fish oil

- coconut oil

- chlorella from time to time

- now will try with magnesium, potassium and calcium supplements due

to muscle cramps I'm also experiencing for 2 weeks now

- I am experimenting with some individual amino acids for the last 2

months (mainly tryptophan, a few times also taurine, GABA, tyrosine

and phenylalanine)

Hope you could give me some advice on this...

==>Jana, you do need to read my article, because it says that taking

supplements other than those listed is not recommended, and you are

taking too much vitamin E (need only 400 IU), and do not take any

kind of multivitiamin (they cannot possibly make a good quality

product with so many different nutrients), and see my other notes on

your supplements below.

balanced and contain niacin; if it doesn't contain niacin buy it

separately and take the same amount

==>You do not need a potassium supplement, but do take about 600 mg

(or less) each of cal and mag per my article.

==>All amino acids are best obtained from eggs & meats, which you

should be eating plenty of on the Optimal Diet or the Candida Diet.

Most amino acids tablets are made from soy, which is not recommended,

and they are harder for the body to digest than meats and eggs.

==>You can experience stomach pains when starting on the candida diet

because it kills off candida in the stomach, duodenum and

intestines. When candida is killed off it also puts out carbon

dioxide, which causes gas, bloating and discomfort throughout the

digestive system. You do need to eliminate " bad " oils and fats as

described in my article.
