Guest guest Posted March 1, 2004 Report Share Posted March 1, 2004 Hi, Ive just joined this group. I have also recently started on a candida diet and seriously researching it. Have had m.e and chronic irritable bowel for years. I am confused as to what is best to take and what should and shouldnt be avoided. At the moment I avoid all sugars and fruit , vinegar, soya sauce alchohol, refined carbs but i do eat rye and oats and brown rice is this bad? I am taking 350 mg of magnesium caprylate a day acidophilus and vit c. Can people tell me about stronger probiotics and where to buy them and also whether anyone has used threelac and is it as much of a miracle cure as it claims to be? Thankyou From Slightly confused Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 The correct answer about your diet question, is you have to go with what works for you. If while on rye, oats and brown rice, you are still experiencing your candida symptoms, then you may be sensitive to one, two or all of them. I've heard that some people can tolerate brown rice. grains are usually out on a candida diet, though some members have found no trouble with natural whole grains. Let your body tell you what is right. Sorry, I'm not an expert on suppliments. I'm trying to heal naturally and cheaply we'll see if it works. wishing you good health and a speedy recovery, Sue. > Hi, > Ive just joined this group.

Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I was pretty tired of trying this and trying that and being disappointed seeing no improvement, but am very glad I took a chance on Threelac. I've tried liquid probiotics with FOS, the little pearls, Flora Source, you name it, and never felt any different. But have seen improvement from the first morning after taking first double dose the night before with Threelac. Abdomen bloating NOT gone but noticably better, have had very productive movements, way less diarhea, stomach is more settled, and I just feel better. Don't love the taste but not bad. So from my experience, Threelac is the only probiotic I have ever tried that you could tell was having an impact. > Hi, > Ive just joined this group.

Thing is Janis that you're treating the stool and that's OK, but you're not yet dealing with the bacteria that are adhering to the bowel lining. These are the ones to deal with, as the bad ones produce toxins that weaken the integrity of the bowel lining and set you up for leaky gut. That's why using probiotics is fine for reducing some symptoms, but they only work as long as you're taking them; on the other hand, by using prebiotics you might not need probiotics at all. Prebiotics allow the good bacteria to proliferate, and proliferating bacteria can outcompete the bad ones on the bowel lining. Prebiotics are cheap and all we're doing with them is replacing the historic amount that has been lost to our modern diets. regards, Duncan Crow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
