Guest guest Posted February 17, 2003 Report Share Posted February 17, 2003 Janet, I take Neurontin, Elavil, Zoloft, Nystatin, Clarinex and some other meds too. I would think it would be okay to take olive leaf extract, caprylic acid, flaxseed with your medications. You can check out books at the library on supplements and herbs if you have a question about contraindications. The herbs can sometimes have effects with prescription meds. I do not really know too much about the lemon helping, however, I do know that apple cider vinegar can help with candida(yeast). What is the charcoal stuff you were talking about? I am not familiar with that. I do think the ground flaxseed is great. I am glad you are doing that. I have been eating meatand chicken without antibiotics and hormones. Free-range meat is the best if you can afford it. Money is tight for me, but I try to get the best thing I can. Oh drink good water, either filtered or I started to drink spring water that is on the alkaline side( suppose to be better for health conditions). I am on several vulvodynia and interstitial cystitis . Two of the Interstitial Cystitis groups focus on diet and supplements etc.- healing naturally. They talk alot about diet and alkalinizing- many theories, however I have read alot about fungus thriving in an acidic environment(your body). I try to research alot and take what I feel comfortable with and go from there. I would also recommend a good probiotic to replace the good bacteria in your gut. You may already know about this. I do believe that if our gut isn't healthy, we will have health problems and definately food sensitivities. I don't know if the natural antifungal will hurt you, but if you take flaxseed with no problems, you probably could tolerate some of them. It's just different for each of us. I can not tolerate Vit C and I bought a B Complex 50mg (brand Soloray) and took one tablet and had horrible burning when I voided. Let me know what symptoms you are having. I hope I responded to everything in your email. Have a good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
