Guest guest Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 I get goat milk from the Amish and ferment it for up to 36 hours. I make both yogurt and kefir. Still having a hard time believing there is enough sugar to feed candida. Maybe the benefits of supplying the good bacteria outweigh the little bit of sugar you might consume. I still need a little convincing so some articles or some feedback from some people who have gone off of raw milk yogurt or kefir, and the results ,would be helpful for me. Thanks.

Welcome to our group. All of the information about " supposedly " good or friendly bacteria is false. That's why I've removed taking any probiotics on my program - see this article which explains why: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/probiotic1.php Many members have reported doing better when they eliminated all dairy products except butter, butter oil or ghee, so you can do a search of our messages on the group for them: /messages Also lactose is one of the most difficult sugars for most adults to digest, and if the person is unhealthy it will be even worse for them. The reason butter is okay is because " the higher the butterfat content in dairy, the lower the lactose. " Also butterfat helps the body digest lactose and proteins in dairy. Since you are new it is important you read two important articles so you know what you need to do and why: How to Successfully Overcome Candida: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro2.php Curing Candida, How to Get Started: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/intro1.php For encouragement and inspiration see these wonderful Success Stories by members of this group: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/success/index.php The best in health, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2011 Report Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hi I used to ferment my yogourt and kefir for a long time and then allow it to drip too, to be extra careful to remove the lactose. Sadly for my family it wasn't enough. As soon as we took them out, we all went into a major healing crisis. It was the big issue that proved that Bee's program had alot to offer. We came here via many other seemingly similiar diets; ie GAPS, SCD etc. Good luck. > > I get goat milk from the Amish and ferment it for up to 36 hours. I make both yogurt and kefir.

When they are fermented the lactose is changed into another kind of sugar, called galactose, so that's why your family didn't do well on them.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Hi Bee, What are your thoughts on water kefir? No lactose nor casein. I really think that kefir is as natural as you can get pertaining to probiotics. This can greatly suppress the candida overgrowth provided all the organic acids.

I really think that kefir is as natural as you can get pertaining to probiotics. This can greatly suppress the candida overgrowth provided all the organic acids. +++Hi Luke, I removed taking probiotics, whether from foods or supplements, from my program because of my research into the subject. One of the simpliest reasons IS, even if you consume foods that contain " live bacteria " your digestive system digests them like it does anything else, and all probiotics, whether alive or not, contain protein, fat and carbs, so they cannot possibly arrive intact in the large intestine where they are " supposedly " needed. Also, in order for the small and large intestines to be healthy they must maintain an alkaline environment, not acidic. That's why foods emptying out of the stomach into the intestines is first make alkaline by the pancreas which pours on lots of baking soda to neutralize stomach acid. After that the pancreas produces digestive enzymes which only work in an alkaline environment. Also bile is alkaline. The small and large intestines also produce baking soda. Second, it isn't true that probiotics suppresses candida overgrowth. See this article to understand all of the facts about probiotics: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/probiotic1.php All the best, Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks for the clarification! You made a good point about probiotics (bacteria) making it past the gut. I assume the body 'creates' it own then???? if so, is that how flora is re-inoculated ? > > > > Hi Bee, > > > > What are your thoughts on water kefir? No lactose nor casein.

Our bodies are smart enough to create any good bacteria they require, when, and IF, needed, just like they will balance out all nutrient, hormone, water, etc. levels IF we treat them right! There may be some natural flora that is healthy, but the kinds recommended as probiotics are definitely not healthy.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 I guess food-based probiotics such as sauerkraut are better choices.

Even though they may be alive when you consume them, they won't be as soon as stomach acid starts digesting the protein portion in them.
