Other measures may be needed, but I would start with these. -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you taking enough probiotics? If the problem is dysbiosis, then 75-100 billion per day or more is reasonable. Don't start that much all at once, but work up to it. Enzymes can also be very helpful, digestive enzymes are used with meals and enzymes such as candidase or candex are used between meals. So many possibilities for treating dysbiosis - you may want to join other forums related to candida or the EnzymesandAutism forum. Xylitol and probably splenda will feed yeast and if you have a yeast problem, you will not overcome it while those are in your diet. I'm fairly sure splenda has other negative effects (liver?), though I don't know details. Untreated thyroid problems can contribute to gut problems. If you haven't read through the diet file in the files section, it has some good ideas for dietary restrictions to try out. -- > > It's common to have problems with dysbiosis while chelating.
