Guest guest Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Not sure if i gave the correct information in my earlier post about using bicarb as a test for stomach acid so here is some more information in case I got it muddled up. Hülya ERDAL The Stomach Acid Test Finally, and something for you to try at home, Sanna recommended the stomach acid test. This is a simple test to indicate whether you have sufficient amounts of stomach acid which is important for proper digestion and the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals. You will need: 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda (baking soda) in a small glass of water. On an empty stomach, e.g. first thing in the morning, drink the solution. Note down any reactions over the next 15-30 minutes. This can include burping, a bloated feeling in the stomach or no reaction at all. If you burp then you have sufficient acid however if there is no reaction then your body is missing the acid it needs to function properly so you may need to take some enzymes to heal this. > > > Thanks again, Sheila.

Eat these, and you feed the Candida. If you can stomach garlic (raw) take as much of this as you can, because this is the best anti-bacterial you can get, and also, buy some bicarbonate of soda and take one teaspoon in warm water every morning when you wake. Take this for four weeks, and then take a fortnight off, and then do it again for another month. This also kills of candida. Keep in mind all the time that you have this evil little monster growing inside you and you have to do everything you can to kill it. Once it is killed, you will be amazed how well you suddenly start to feel. AND, your thyroid hormone will start to work as it should > > If you go to our FILES - yet again, you can find a couple of Candida diets which are easy to follow.
