Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 No, never tried Candex. At the time we where using CANDASE from Enzymetica (it does have protease in it, just like most if not all of their product line). I wish I had known what Elaine feared about this enzyme before ginving it to KiKI...but by gones be by gones...we are on track now. She truly went into a diarrheal crises for a bit. Good thing I am on top of things, and talked to those who knew what I was doing wrong with this very vulnerable little tyke. At the time I thought CANDEX and CANDASE where one and the same just different suppliers/makers. Boy was I mistaken. I was just told off serve that Candex containes: cellulase and amylase, enzymes which work on plant and yeast cell walls and sugars. Sounds harmless to a vulnerable an injured healing gut to me. Jody, or whoever, do you know for certain that it has no protease in it? We may try this Candex. Could be very benificial with the war of the yeastie beastie's.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Die off from any enzymes can cause cramping and pain, burning and distress. Before adding additional antifungal stuff, I would tweak your diet, get it optimal. You want to cut down on feeding and killing at the same time, and also get a footing on healing. Antifungal therapies are best taken on an empty stomach and alternated. Summer kikijabunce wrote: I was just told by somebody that Candex does not have protease in it. I know that it is SCD safe though. If it has nothing that will harm an already injured gut, we may want to try this. Can somebody tell me what in it. ANd if others who have used this had any burning, distress, cramping and PAIN??? We may want to try!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I agree about the cramping and pain being related to die off...we have had that experience with just the strict SCDiet in the beginning, cutting out any yeast feeding foods for almost 10 days. Die off was not fun. But the intense burning and celiac crises of diarrhea did not start untill the experiment with protease containing enzyems. At the time I talked to Lucy R ( Lucy's Kitchen) about this concern that Elaine had with protease. (she has agreed to let me use her name on this serve). I even personaly and by phone shared my concern with Devin Houston, who agreed that we should not do the protease untill we heal, since he too now knows our origional psychical condition of having errosive colitis and celiac damage. Our EGD and biopsy showed my intestines to be just a mess. I am very lucky to be alive. This disease killed my mother. If we show a need in the future, we will use protease once we heal. Doese anybody know for certain what is in Candex? Is it protease free...like a person told me off serve? I think we will try it. Hope this give better clairity, Antoinette > I was just told by somebody that Candex does not have protease in it. > I know that it is SCD safe though.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 A version advertised in Europe does have protease, but the same country makes a version sold in the US, and in some places in Europe, without protease. Check the label, but the most common version you see in the US and online does not have the proteases or lipases...just carb digesting enzymes. Here is a link to the one I think you are wanting: http://www.vitamincottage.com/shop/product_view.asp? id=43653 & StoreID=47821D90B2AA4A7C91E85DD915331B09 & private_product=0 .
