Re: Flare -> Intro -> Die Off... every time?

[Guest guest]

I second epsom salt baths. You can also try activated charcoal.

Mix the contents of 2 capsules of charcoal in 2 cups boiling water. The charcoal

will settle to the bottom. When it's all settled, it should be cool enough to

drink. You can use the charcoal twice... I got this information from Jodi...

I do not have series of die off when I have a little flare and go back intro

though.

Hi ,

I have only been on the diet since the beginning of February, but I think one

thing that happened with me was I ended up overfeeding my yeasts when I started

eating bananas, cooked carrots and winter squash, and the DCCC - all of these

are beloved by yeasts. I think the yogurt might have helped them too, since my

tongue always got more coated when I ate yogurt. I think I am just

yeast-paranoid now, but yeasts dying can cause die-off too. There are so many

types of bacteria that it seems like if one of them likes what you're eating

okay but the others have died off, it might overpopulate until you do the intro

again, so it's like getting things in balance one step at at time. Just a

thought.

sitting because of a structured Ileum. I figured it was just too much food, not

the banana's (which weren't new). Anyway, after that I had some okay days and

some bad days, never really as good as when I went off the intro diet. So 4 days

ago I went back on the intro diet and I seem to be having another die-off

reaction. Achy back and shoulders, headaches, nausea vomiting, increased ileum

pain.

Thanks! Someone else suggested that too and I am about to look it up online,

since I don't have any here. Is it found at Super Supplements and vitamin

stores? Or grocery stores?

Is that one that you put in rotation with garlic, grapefruit seed extract, oil

of oregano? Or is it used in conjunction? I am doing garlic right now, but only

every other day till I can handle more.
