+++Hi Carmen. The reason you got bloated isn't because you are

lactose intolerant, since butter contains so very little lactose.

The rule about lactose is: " The higher the butterfat content the

lower the lactose, and also butterfat helps the body digest lactose. "

+++The reason you are bloated is because butter is antifungal, and

when it kills off candida, candida produces carbon dioxide, which is

gas that causes the bloating. To minimize those reactions you should

start with smaller amounts of butter and gradually increase it, but

don't cut it out entirely since it works along with coconut oil and

other fats, and butter contains nutrients other foods don't.

+++If the water is mostly in your intestines don't be concerned.

Also ensure you are getting enough " good " ocean sea salt to help your

body utilize water, along with all of the " good " fats and all

supplements - everything works together.

Bee, thank you for your response.

I've been on your diet for 4.5 months and been gluten free for 14

months. I finally got to eliminate at least 2 lbs of watery matter

from my intestines and it feels a little better. I am still bloated.

I increased the magnesium to 4g for 2 days in a row and that did it.

I was slowly changing to magnesium citrate per your list but it looks

like mag citrate does not do anything for my constipation, I have to

stick to magnesium oxide otherwise my bowels don't move. I am taking

plenty of fat daily + magnesium 2g, but I have the most stubborn colon

ever...

While being bloated like that, my sciatic nerve got bothered and lower

leg neuropathy was pretty bad (of course lower back hurt to, I have 8

discs that are bulging or protruding) That had me concerned, I thought

I was regressing...

I need to know what to do with this severe bloating/swelling +

constipation. I've been having it forever (it seems) and still runs me

down. Often I joke about me having a factory of gas in my

intestines... I wish they made a valve for me so I could deflate

easier..

+++Hi Carmen. If you take magnesium oxide ensure it states

the " elemental amounts " on the label. If it doesn't you need to take

68% more to get enough.

+++I totally understand. While I was on my candida program I started

working and one day I was talking to my boss and let one of the worst

ones you can imagine. I was so embarrassed, but I couldn't help it

then. It's wonderful not have gas anymore!

+++During natural healing your body will " retrace " any and all

symptoms, diseases, illnesses, injuries, etc., according to Hering's

Law of Cure (on my website). So depending upon how long you've had

bloating/swelling, constipation, etc. it can take some time for it to

stop (1 month for every year). My brother had Crohn's Disease

(severe diarrhea) for 20 years when he started on my program. He

continued to have it throughout the program, and about 20 months

later his diarrhea finally stopped - he announced it to my Mother and

I when I was there in May. During his program he also " retraced "

Lyme's disease, psoriasis, and West Nile Virus symptoms.

+++Drinking raw ginger tea helps with gas - see the recipe on my

website.

The best in health, Bee

When I first started taking magnesium, I found Mag Citrate did not work

well for me either for easing constipation. That's because it is very

bioavailable and gets absorbed before it irritates the GI tract whereas

Mg Oxide is poorly absorbed and highly irritating to the GI tract.

Once your magnesium levels become optimal though, you will find that

Mag Citrate will keep you regular.

OK Patty, I'm willing to try again, but I am very scared after this

last episode. I'll need a little help with balancing the magnesium.

How did you do it? How much mag oxide and how much mag citrate?

I started with 4000 mg mag oxide and went down to 2000 mg to stay

regular; now I only take 4000 mg mag oxide when I need to unclog

pipes, but even if I take 4000mg mag citrate pipes are not moving...

Would it be possible that my colon is very " slow " and needs this mag

oxide " irritation " to wake up and do his job?

Looks like I need to figure out the best amount of magnesium citrate

for my colon to work...

It helps so much to be re-assured about being on the right track and

that retracing is not regressing... Thank you much Bee.

+++Take the amounts of calcium and magnesium citrate I recommend,

which is 300 mg of each twice a day (it must state the " elemental

amounts " on the label however; if it doesn't you'll need to take 60%

more). You be better off using vitamin C to help loosen your bowels

or one of the other treatments suggested - see this Constipation

Article: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig1.php

Bee

P.S. What is your name?

[Guest guest]

Oh, boy ... I thought I had difficulties figuring out how to

transition from magnesium oxide to magnesium citrate but now make sure

I buy the " elemental " magnesium... I checked out many brands of

magnesium and did not see any mention of " elemental " Is there a

particular brand you know of that says " elemental " ? I'll be happy to

buy that one.

I will make sure to increase VitC while transitioning to Mag Citrate

and I also need to reduce the amount of water I drink... I thought

that increasing water intake will help soften the stool, but it looks

like it does not ...

I just received my Nystatin in tables and powder and I am ready to

begin nystatin enema. Do you think that in my overly constipated case

I could benefit more from the retention enema over the regular or

alternate them? Nystatin rectally should I take daily? Any tips are

appreciated.

Thank you so much Bee.

+++Hi Carmen. Natural Factors brand is one that states

the " elemental amounts " on their label.

+++Water doesn't help since it can only be utilized by the cells if

there are proper minerals, including ocean sea salt (over 84

minerals), and " good " fats that I recommend, along with fat soluble

vitamins, omega 3, etc.

+++Ensure your nystatin does not contain any sugar (it is being added

to the tablets now), and that your powder is intended for internal

use (there is a powder for external use only that contains talcum

powder).

+++You can retain any enema - just follow the procedure for it when

you do antifungal and probiotic enemas. Do the antifungal and

probiotic enemas the same day as the article instructs. Only do

enemas every 4-5 days to allow time for the large colon to recover

and function normally.

Dear Bee,

The pharmacy sent me the external powder Nystatin w/ talc, so I'll

have to wait until they send me the right one to do the enema. When I

talked to the pharmacist I had him look over the ingredients list for

Oral Nystatin & was told it stated free of sugar and sucrose.

I'm thinking of taking nystatin rectally because I have a history of

severe rectal pain. I noticed you advise coconut oil for vaginal

suppositories w/ size OOO capsules, should I take CO rectally to? I do

have lots of anal itching, I apply daily coconut oil mixed w/ oregano

oil, but sometimes does not seem to be enough.

Do I do the retaining enema at the same time I do the nystatin enema

followed by acidophilus enema? or do I alternate?

Thank you much,

Carmen

+++Hi Carmen. Yes, you can use gelatin capsules filled with coconut

oil as a suppository. You don't have to wait until you get nystatin

to do antifungal enemas since you can use garlic tea or Pau D'Arco

tea.

>

You can retain any enema (coffee, antifungal or probiotic) as follows:

1. After inserting the solution in the bowel roll onto your left

side. Lie there for about five minutes to allow the solution to

travel to the left side of your colon.

2. Now lie again on your back, but prop your bottom up on pillows,

for five minutes allowing the solution to travel up the left side of

your colon.

3. Roll onto your right side and lie there for about five minutes.

You are now free to get up and walk around. Retain the solution as

long as you are comfortable and evacuate when you must.

Please review the instructions carefully, which state:

" When alternating the antifungal and probiotic enema, do them both in

the same day. For example, you can do an antifungal enema in the

morning, and wait 4-5 hours, or until that same evening, to do the

probiotic enema. That way you've only upset the functioning of the

large colon for one day. "
