Re: symptoms candida/yeast or digestive?? -- was carrots

[Guest guest]

Hi Jodi,

I really think my 10 year old autistic son has yeast. The tests say

no but I heard 90% of the time they are inaccurate. I have major

yeast and one of my other children has health issues and milder yeast.

I would love any information you have.

I have lots of experience in how to select SCD-legals that my

digestion would tolerate along with killing off the high levels of

yeast. Basically I read up on yeast/candida elimination strategies,

then applied them to SCD legal foods and supplements. Lots of trial

and error.

the foods that just feed yeast, so I could kill them off. Because I

couldn't tolerate antifungals, and it took me 4 months before I could

handle probiotics, it took me a longer time than usual to get the

yeast under control.

related, although there can be an impact on digestion too. Symptoms

connected more to yeast/candida overgrowth are : skin rashes, vaginal

or genitourinary rashes and discharge, mouth sores, oral thrush, dry

chapped lips and skin around mouth, watery eyes, sore throat,

headaches, fatigue, fluid in ears, aching joints..... Basically the

body's immune system can't cope with the toxins released by high

levels of yeast.

squashes, fruits; foods high in molds like cheese, mushrooms, whole

nuts; and fermented foods like vinegar and wine; are all foods that

tend to encourage yeast to overgrow. Having poor digestion or

digestive disorders on top of this also means more fermentation in the

gut, which also encourage the yeast to overgrow.....

hey maryjo,

i am combating these bad bacteria but my knowledge is quite limited!!

also, i am just learning how to tailer all of this new info to fit my

personal needs on scd. which is a hit and miss for me with many many

mistakes and set-backs. so i don't feel qualified at all to give any

advice whatsoever about this!

i was feeling better yesterday and then i had some fish for dinner and

i made like a tomato sauce and i got such bad nausea but i could not

vomit so it just lingered all night which was horrible and then i was

fine. i woke up this morning feeling fine!!! it is the oddest

thing!! my tongue looks better too! it's still coated but not nearly

as bad!

kim has a lot of useful information about tailoring a candida diet for

scd!! she uploaded the files " candida " ! she is super knowledgeable

about this aspect and many other things!!

hope this helps..

in situations like this, try the activated charcoal. might help.

It's pretty

good at settling stomachs. Unless you have a sensitivity to it.

I think the original poster inadvertently posted to you instead of Kim.
