Exploration: The sugar connection / Candida

[Guest guest]

I noticed that sugar intolerance tend to be associated with a variety

of conditions that are associated with CFIDS. The literature suggests

that it is an enzyeme deficiency (whether it is always genetic or acquired is

unclear).

Following this path then issues with candida may be associated with

this enzyeme(s) inefficiency, i.e. the sugar is NOT broken down

sufficiently so the result is breeding ground for candida.

Searching medline I find " glucose intolerance " is the term that tends

to be used (often in association with diabetes). Treatments include:

* Reduced fat intake http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/406015

Sucrose intolerance, also called Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase

Deficiency (CSID) which is ascribed to insufficient sucrase, an

enzyme. Interestingly, it occurs more often with the Inupiat (Alaska

eskimo).

Sucrase is the name given to a number of enzymes that catalyse the

hydrolysis of sucrose to fructose and glucose. The official name for

Sucrase is beta-fructofuranosidase (EC3.2.1.26), which implies that

the reaction catalyzed by this enzyme is the hydrolysis of the

terminal nonreducing beta-fructofuranoside residues in beta-

fructofuranosides.

It is present in yeast, however it is unclear as to which yeasts have

a significant amount of it in usuable form (see

http://jdr.iadrjournals.org/cgi/reprint/40/3/558.pdf )

Gastroenterology, 1993 Oct, 105(4), 1061 - 8

Evaluation of liquid yeast-derived sucrase enzyme replacement in

patients with sucrase-isomaltase deficiency; " Liquid yeast sucrase

offers effective enzyme replacement therapy for patients with CSID. "

PMID: 8405850

Sacrosidase is a safe, effective, well-accepted treatment to prevent

gastrointestinal symptoms in patients with CSID consuming a normal

diet. PMID: 9932843

So bottom line is that taking brewer yeast (to get sucrase) may help

with candida [speculation].

Ken,

Can you please give documentation that brewer's yeast actually contains an

efficacious amount of the substance- which from a quick research peek seemed to

me like it was derived from baker's yeast?

Thanks

I am allergic to all yeast but especially Brewer's yeast so I would never try

this.  My Dr. advised me to try a sugar for my fibro called CorvalenM.  It says

reduces fatigue, muscle pain, soreness, and stiffness associated with diminished

cellular energy.  When I open the top of it smells like corn to me.  I called

the company and they checked and checked and it is corn based! sigh!  I am

allergic to corn.  It was almost impossible for the women I talked to

understanding this.  They call this sugar ribose.   Just smelling it makes me

feel nauseous but it will  give me a very slight energy boost.  I would rather

eat plain sugar which doesn't make me sick if I only take a small amount.  

 

   The best thing for me as far as an energy boost is nadh.  I just wish it were

a prescription drug as then my insurance would pay for part of the cost.  I

simply cannot afford to take it all the time. 

 

  We are all different but this is just some of my experience.

[Moderator: I took NADH when I first had CFIDS, it was one of the very few

items on PubMed with evidence supporting it use. When I discovered that it was a

precursor to Niacin, I tried niacin and found that it made more impact and was

cheaper]

Brewer's yeast 2 rounded tablespoons also has a good amount of

CHROMIUM 190 mcg (per Labs Brewers Yeast label),

mildly helpful in [down]regulation of higher blood sugar.
