Re: Healing your Gut

[Guest guest]

Use probiotics and find an internet list describing the low ph foods

that you can eat. Your entire body should have an alkaline ph, but

your gut needs a low ph to function properly.

diet is the best way.

if you can give me more information about your symptoms i will be able to give

you more specific feedback.

if you are talking general candida, leaky gut, mold exposure stuff, then you

need to go on a candida diet as well as minimize chemicals in your diet.

there are different levels of the candida diet, so what you'll need will depend

of the severity of your symptoms, the length that you have been sick and how

weak you currently are, etc.

you'll need to eliminate everything that you are allergic, sensitive, have an

intolerance to, which will vary from person to person, you'll also need to be

careful with your carbohydrate intake, especially simple carbs (sugar, maple

syrup, honey) as well as refined carbs, white flour etc. sugar feels the yeast.

therefore some sugary fruits may also be an issue.

if you have chemical sensitivities, you'll need to be careful with processed

foods too, because chemicals are often used to process foods. also additives,

preservatives, food coloring etc will need to go.

fermented foods are usually a problem too, because mold is used to ferment the

foods. so that's miso, soy sauce, cheese, alcohol.

you may also need to cook your food, because raw veggies if stored poorly will

have mold all over them.

so what can you eat? in general unprocessed organic proteins are good. cooked

veggies, although starchy veggies may be an issue.

eating no carbs for a long period of time is a bad idea, so if you do a candida

diet, it's best to work with a nutritionist or somebody who knows what they are

doing.

if you follow this diet you'll be able to slow down the yeast growth, however

you won't actually be killing it or getting it out of your system. this is where

all the other supplements are necessary to get fungus out of your body. but if

you can't tolerate supplements yet, then just work on having a good diet,

because you will feel much better if you don't feed the yeast. the less yeast

you have, the easier it will be to kill it, because there will be less of it and

you'll have less of a healing crisis when the yeast dies off.

i hope that's helpful.

Hi Deb-

 

For me, my environ doc answered that question by responding that it depends

upon what's wrong with it.  

 

Are you having specific symptoms that indicate your gut needs healing?

 

Did you already do an Intestinal Permeability and also CDSA tests?

Hey,

for me is helping probiotics, diet influencing ph , no sugar or fruit,

l-glutamine, probiotics, na- bicarbonate , since last week my doctor gives also

'active' b-complex, which your body takes up without work by the gut, which has

already enough to do.this is specific for leaky gut,

How do you take the sodium bicarbonate and how often? What is 'active' B

complex? My blood tests came out low in all the B's and I am figuring due to

poor gut bacteria which is almost impossible bec I'm on antibiotics due to

something else.. I went off the antiBs due to this and then the reason I was on

them started to make a resurgent so I will be back on them again soon, a

different one.

Depending on what's wrong, think about juicing. It really works.

sodium bicarbonate I take 3 times a day a little powder, on the point of a

knife, I controll with tests ph urine daily. When the ph becomes OK (after some

days already!), I take only once a day and controll ph nearly every day. About

'active' B complex: I ask my doctor tomorrow, about B6 there is the phosphate

type which is easier to take up then the other B6, about other B's I don't know.

I let you know,

My macrobiotic counsellor has some remedies for that. I have learned from

experience that there is no one way to do anything. Best thing is to hold on to

any trials you endeavor to do...loosely. Healing is definitely a journey.

Macrobiotic eating and lifestyle did wonders for me, but did not go all the way

by itself because we were unaware of a medical condition so had not honed the

diet in to that condition yet. (I know a person who was completely healed of

lung cancer through macrobiotics, which she gives all credit to God for choosing

to heal her that way. We believe it is God that does the healing, and he allows

it to happen via different methods and different times.) However, we had spent

years looking for a medical condition that was not showing up on film or in

blood tests (at least not that our medical professionals had learned to look

for). Thank goodness for macrobiotics, it took my gut pain down from about an 8

to a 2 (on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the worst. My counsellor is very

insightful. Once we learned about the medical condition from a medical test,

which I am convinced would not have happened without the years of

information-gathering while on macrobiotics, I modified my macro diet for my new

known condition. That IS macrobiotics. Macrobiotics means " long life " and it

teaches you to eat FOR YOUR CONDITION. I am doing much better, but I have

learned it can be a long journey to healing one's gut. Also, logging my food,

supplements, medicine, pain locations and values (how bad on a scale of 1-10),

temperatures, and even anything that helps track digestion, the times of all of

the above, and time to bed and time to rise was critical to the

information-gathering process. It takes a huge change in lifestyle and

expectations of what you can accomplish in a day, but we all must keep on

plugging away at it. Working with a macrobiotic counsellor and medical doctors

I was able to come a long way in my healing. In fact, when medical doctors had

no idea and could offer me no diagnosis, no hope, and not even a followup call,

my macrobiotic eating was healing me and helping me gather information for

things that doctors would piece together years later. But that information was

critical to my later diagnosis. Further working with medical doctors we learned

of food sensitivities and allergies, so I limited my macro diet a little

further. Now I just rotate my food to keep those food sensitivities down, and I

avoid the allergens. There are many foods I do not eat because they are

unhealthy in general, and they specifically are harmful to me. I don't cry

about what I can't eat. I'm not a victim. Instead I celebrate that I can

eliminate foods that hurt me and I feel fantastic. I have great freedom in

accepting my condition and dealing with it instead of letting others make me a

victim because they think I am strange for refusing to eat food that is poison

to me. People may sometimes mean well and do great harm to those who are

suffering because they want you to fit in their cookie cutter shape of

lifestyle. Don't buckle under the pressure. Get solid medical and nutritional

advice, do what you have to do, and be a teacher and bridge-builder to the

ignorant. I give praise to my Lord that I have all these extra days thanks to

his guidance.

Understanding what you have is key. I understand from my medical professionals

that there are three different things (and there could be more for all I know)

that cause leaky gut syndrome. So, understanding why you have your condition is

key to curing it. However, approaching your healing with diet is an excellent

foundational way to fix many things and to figure things out. It helps you cure

the whole body in an upward spiral, and you have to eat anyway. It is silly to

have a diet that tears you down and then to pay for medicine and supplements to

overcome poor eating and try to heal only one aspect of your health. We all

have to eat. Start by doing that right first. But be open to bringing medicine

(traditional, alternative or functional) together with alternative modes of

healing (diet (macrobiotic, raw, vegan, rotation, whatever is best for you,

which you may have to figure out by trial and error but I strongly suggest it be

done under the care of a physician), medical tests, lots of reading to either

understand what your doctor is doing or lead them along a new path, supplements,

medicine).

This is not medical advice. Just some things I have learned from personal

experience. May God bless you on your journey, dear one.

Could you give short description of macrobiotic diet?
