Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Where do you get this ThreeLac? I have almost every problem that you listed that can be caused by candida, so does my husband and children. And which probiotic do you use or suggest using, because I have tried many brands and none seem to do much, but maybe without the other stuff to get rid of the bad, it won't help. I would really appreciate the info on all this.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 You do not have to use exactly treelac, which is good for candida because it contains saccharomyces boulardii which is a probiotic that fights the yeast and candida, you canget it at klaire's labs or kirkmans, you should try it by itself first before trying treelac.

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Amy, My husband has severe Crohn's and I am actually mainly trying to figure out this ThreeLac for him. My kids probably would benefit from using it, but I think that he and I would actually benefit the most. He doesn't believe that anything will work for his Crohn's. He has given up on believing it would ever go into remission, but I have not. He has been hospitalised for up to 9 days at a time and a lot recently. Nothing has worked. He has been on Remecaid for 3+ years and it has lost it's effectiveness to the point that he gets biweekly infusions and yet still has around 6 bowel movements a day and regular bleeding. He is the pickiest eater alive, he is worse than our 4 year old with Autism and he basically lives off of, white flour tortillas with cheese melted on them, coco crispies, A & W rootbeer, white engilsh muffins with Jam, homemade hamburgers with no veggies and Juice. He has been willing to try diets in the past, but the thing is, nothing works fast enough for him. We have tried every diet out their to get his body to rid itself of the yeast, but because it takes a while he gives up and gets mad and says, " see it didn't work " The longest he was willing to change his diet was for 3 months and he really did amazingly. I know he didn't cheat either, because he was at home with no job or anywhere that he could go, and I do not keep such foods at home. He is the one who always gets them. Anyhow, after three months of a very strict diet and using wormwood and all sorts of Supposed ways to get rid of yeast, he said, " That's enough, obviously your way doesn't work. So I will go back to what I enjoy at least " . He says that vegetables make his crohn's worse and they give him indegestion. That is true, but will it improve if he gets rid of the yeast? I am just so fed up with his health and his bad example on eating healthy. He is a wonderful man in nearly every other aspect, so I feel bad for complaining, but it is so hard for me. I will make up a lovely meal, that is perfectly balanced and very tasteful and even good in his opinion, and then he will say, well I ate some nachos already so I am not really hungry and then he will make himself an English muffin with Jam and then the kids throw a fit and cry and say no and they won't eat my food either. So I waste all my time cooking for 5 and end up eating my own left overs for a week. I know it is not because I am a bad cook. I used to work as a cook, and I have never had so many compliments on cooking in my life as then. I can make almost anything under the sun, and yet he and my children won't eat anything, or try anything. With them, I can somewhat enforce it, because I can not allow it in the house, but he just goes out and buys what he wants and eats it and I can't force him not to, and don't think that that is a wife's place either. Will this ThreeLac even work, if he doesn't change his diet drastically? I do not want to say that his Crohn's is his fault, because even when he was on IVs and TPN in the hospital, his Crohn's was still acting up, but I am sure that his diet and the yeast are not helping the circumstances. Thanks for the suggestions! Is there anywhere else to get the stuff that you know of?

Guest guest Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Esther, I don't think I emailed you about this before, but if I did I apologize for repeating myself. I have had Ulcerative Colitis since I was 20 years old. (that's 20 years now) It is not the same, but very similar to Crohns. During my last pregnancy (12 years ago) I was so ill, we all thought for sure I would not be able to carry the baby. I had to go for bi weekly blood tests to make sure my count wasn't below 20. (normal is around 40). I was on prednisone for the entire pregnancy. Gained millions of pounds which I still struggle with. Never had a weight problem before that. Any way, many bowel movements a day, many just blood. my teenagers would say TMI! (too much information) It's important to the story. I was on Azulfadine, Rowasa, steroids, and too many others to list. This went on for about 14 years with no relief. I was weak, nauseous and too ill to enjoy my children or even venture outside with them most days. As you know with these diseases they usually go in and out of remission. Mine never did, I was sick straight for 14 years. Then because my husband was being a real pain in the neck about it, I tried acupuncture. I didn't want to, didn't believe in it and certainly could not afford it. In the end it cost used a lot of money. I went to an acupuncturist who was also an herbalist, I drank many nasty potions, and sustained many pokes and strange therapies from this wonderful man. About 3 months in, I woke up one day and was able to walk not crawl to the living room. It began like that, a normal day and gradually I got stronger and stronger and have been well and colitis free for about 6 years now. I know this sounds crazy, most things do! I also know that your husband is really sick and this may not be an option for him, but it can't hurt. As I am typing I think I remember sending you this information once, but everytime I hear of anyone with an inflammatory bowel disease I tell this story, so I am not sure. I don't recall where you live, but I know a wonderful man in this area if you are close. my thoughts are with you and your husband as I know how he feels. It is not a very glamorous disease and so few people really understand or get it. It also is not very easy to talk about either. I know I was always very shy about it so people that knew me really didn't know what was wrong with me. Take care, Terri Re: Re: -soy, used > > to be GFCF > > > > , > > I like how you think!
