Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 I agree with exercise but... Because constipation is one of the signs of incorrect bowel flora anyway, and inulin is a soluble fiber that feeds the correct bowel flora, it is advantageous to increase inulin dose until the constipation clears. One won't need more than 40 grams a day, and 20 or more should do it. I've been recommending 15 grams for everyone with a bowel problem. The reason that I mention this again is that you may dislodge the stool with mechanical means like exercise, but the inulin addresses the cause of the constipation. The constipation means the wrong bacteria, which may also be keeping the pH to a level that allows the candida, and may also be doing nothing to discourage the candida like the correct bowel bacteria do. Many doctors suspect bowel dysbiosis if a person has candida, and I applaud that decision because it's usually true.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Duncan, Yes, I agree the constipation needs to be addressed. The exercise I described is for an emergency type of situation. I got constipated when first going on teh candida diet and starting anticandida treatment and this exercise helped me through that. Re: constipation I agree with exercise but...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 Hi Mandy, We tried the AFP and No-Fenol enzyme and could only give him 1/2 of each without causing constipation. His behavior did not change with 1/2 and he got horribly constipated with more than 1/2. We recently tried the SCD, giving him the almond pancakes and that constipated him. So we tried egg only pancakes and that constipated him (we kept lunch and supper the same). So now we are only on 1/2 No-Fenol to help with yeast and back on GFCF which helps with the constipation but doesn't get rid of it all the time. The best stools we have seen on our son has been when we have chelated with DMSA.....but then others have reported that DMSA causes constipation, go figure. Sorry I couldn't give you good news about the enzymes, maybe someone else has something to help us both out. Take care, Becky in Chesapeake, VA > Hi all, I started my 5yo son on enzymes 6 days ago.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 It might not be actual constipation, but rather that he is absorbing and metabolizing most of the what he eats. There would be much less waste left over to accumulate in the bowels and so it might appear as constipation. This came up from the very beginning with the enzymes product No-Fenol. Several people commented about 'constipaton' when in fact, more of the food was broken down. Most people found that stool frequency readjusted over time. Because this happened with increased enzymes and when using more highly absorbable food (by theory, hopefully), it reminded me of this. The way I discovered this was through the vast research in animal science. Livestock are routinely given lots of No-Fenol type enzymes for maximum breakdown of food and fiber so the animal uses it...and frankly, to reduce manure output. No one likes to shovel it any more than they have too. Another reason is to reduce bacteria problems in livestock and cut down on excess ammonia. It might be constipation or reduced waste but I wanted to through this out as a possibility. Hope this helps. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 stomach flora have a huge impact on stool viscosity, more bacteria gives a more fluid stool, enzymes(zp) also reduce di and polysaccarides by converting to easily absorbed monosaccarides and this also greatly changes stoamch flora since bad bacteria thrive on di and polysaccarides. so you may be changing the bactera a bit, i would back off the enzymes and maybe slowly increase them and see how it went allowing him to adjust. taurine can help. > Hi all, I started my 5yo son on enzymes 6 days ago.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2003 Report Share Posted October 5, 2003 I wouldn't stop the probiotics. If you give unbuffered powdered vit. C, mix with lemonade or pear juice or lime Gatorade. Start with 1/4 tsp. and work your way up. At some point his body will reach it's limit of Vit. C and then everything will come out. I like this better than other methods/concoctions/over the counter stuff, because it's not harmful. Also the poo comes out not hard. Good luck to you and your son. Make sure the Vit. C is not mixed in with other stuff, and that it is unbuffered and powder form. Many health food stores will carry it, I usually call in advance, as I don't have time for wild goose chases. Constipation Hi all, I started my 5yo son on enzymes 6 days ago. Over the 1st few days we built him up to 1 cap of ZP per meal (no probs at all). Then we introduced AFP Pep the same way so he is now having 1 cap of each at the start of each meal. Today (day 3 of pep), he told me his poo was really hard to get out (sorry!!) and his lips are dry. He has a history of constipation which stopped when we went GFCF/everything else free 9 months ago and then introduced probiotics. I am keen to remedy this quickly as he gets stressed when he is constipated and refuses to go to the tilet. I am making him drink a LOT of fluid today and have upped his probiotic dose slightly. Is this a common reaction that will improve over time or is there something else I can do? He has shown no other effects/changes with the enzymes so far and I have not changed anything in his diet.

It is a good idea to add some if your diet does not include enough roughage. If you are already eating 50% of your food (by volume) in raw state, the magnesium, and plenty of water, would be my strategy. www.life-enthusiast.com From: Fallon candidiasis Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2003 7:23 AM Subject: Re: constipation Hi I've heard that psyllium husks are also helpful.

Guest guest Posted October 29, 2003 Report Share Posted October 29, 2003 > Can anyone give me any suggestions on what would be helpful with > relieving constipation related to candida????? > Hi , Constipation and diarrhea are both symptoms of bowel dysbiosis - that is, the wrong bacteria fluorishing in the bowel. It relates to candida only in that the wrong bowel bacteria allows the wrong pH to prevail in the gut, and that's how the candida sets in. Candida is opportunistic, and highly sensitive to the low pH that is normally maintained by the 'good' bowel bacteria. I recommend attending to the bowel dysbiosis and the candida at the same time, because without populating the bowel with the correct species and numbers of natural human gut microbes you'll always have a bowel problem. People take probiotics for that, but probiotics are magnitudes too weak to do very much controlling compared to establishing and maintaining your OWN culture, which adheres to the bowel lining and outcompetes the bad bowel bacteria. To accomplish that I'd recommending giving the good bacteria the edge by feeding them with inulin, a bifidogenic prebiotic. You can buy powdered inulin anywhere, or as was done in the middle ages, ancient Greece and even earlier in China, eat " several " servings per day of inulin-containing food or broth; a chart of some common foods and the amount of inulin they contain is on http://members.shaw.ca/duncancrow/inulin_prebiotic_probiotic.html along with the rest of the science of beneficial bowel bacteria. If natural sources might be a problem, and it is for diabetics, candida patients, and many people with IBS, IBD and bowel dysbiosis becasue of the sugar and FOS content, it is a better idea to have the sugar- and FOS-removed inulin, at least for awhile. If you are already on inulin, I'd suggest the change to sugar- and FOS-free, or at least with the natural stuff, increasing the dose to therapeutic levels. At least 9 grams daily and 15 grams will help a lot. In fact, up to 40 grams was used in the clinical studies on constipation.

It's the most plentiful carbohydrate after starch in the vegetable kingdom. I can agree with magnesium short-term for constipation, and always agree with the raw vegetables, but.... One of the reasons I don't recommend psyllium as a bulking agent is that it's essentially cellulose, which can be used by clostridia, one of the bacteria we have to be very careful not to encourage. This may not be an issue in some people. Another reason, one that IS a big issue, is that psyllium does not encourage bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, the two bacteria we SHOULD encourage. In fact, if the constipation is created not by insufficient drinking water in the diet, it IS caused by incorrect bowel bacteria so we'll want to control it anyway. Inulin in the diet will contribute to a healthy bifidobacteria population that will control the cause of the constipation, rather than simply mechanically bulking the bowel while not addressing that cause at all. A third reason is that psyllium also does not contribute at all to the low bowel pH needed to control the yeast in there, while inulin does. Because of those three reasons and a few others that don't relate directly to constipation or yeast, inulin in my view wins hands down as a more efficient health tool compared to psyllium. Even if you use some psyllium as well, it doesn't replace inulin for those reasons. To continue, psyllium also doesn't replace inulin because inulin is converted to beneficial short chain fatty acids, it normalizes blood glucose and insulin levels, it normalizes blood pressure, reduces triglycerides, reduces both VLDL and LDL cholesterol levels, and it improves mineral absorption.

The psyllium husks are for constipation and the seeds add scouring action that helps clean out the intestines of accumulated matter and dead yeast.

Sorry. The Iridesca was blended as a broad spectrum nutritional support for non-critical care. People use anywhere from half to 3 bottles per month. We have some people reporting that they can only handle a quarter of the recommended dose, because they get detox symptoms on more. I am not the designer of the products. If you'd like to discuss technical detail, I can connect you with Jevari, who has plenty of depth in his understanding of how humans work. At one time we were selling the inulin in bulk. Perhaps you'd be interested in that ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Hi All I have a friend locally trying enzymes with her son, CFGF 2 years resolved consitoatiuon issues which were extreme, he needed hospitalisation etc no movement for 2 weeks After 4 weeks on Pep, he's coped with infractions without regression but s getting bunged up again. Taking her some Mag tomorrow to sort it but she is thinking the enzymes aren;t working because of the constipation. I have said I think its the food not the enzymes but I'm not explaining it very well. He was doing rice and potatoes on the diet without issue, I rember Dana mentioning those before. Can somebody help explain, we only ever had the squits here so I don;t know much about constipation except we have to deal with it pronto before the issue gets bigger. She has upped his fluids also. ON the bright side he's talking a lot more, vocal with VB just this year Mandi in UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
