Re: Allergies???? Die off?????

[Guest guest]

When I started SCD, I had an itchy rash behind my knees and elbows. It kind of

came and went for the first 6 months, and then went away for good. I took epsom

salt baths, which helped a lot.

On about 3 occasions, I broke out in a red pin prick rash on my face, neck, and

chest, but that one didn't itch.

I think it was all just from the bacteria and yeast dieing.

White coating on the tongue generally indicates a yeast/candida overgrowth. It

is good to check in with your doctor to rule out other possibilities. Dealing

with a yeast overgrowth accompanies digestive disorders and a disrupted gut

ecology, so it is common for all of us to deal with this.

There is information in the group Files on dealing with yeast/candida, and on

www.pecanbread.com. Usually time on SCD will help with this problem, but some

of us find that our symptoms are severe enough that we need to also make some

adjustments to our food choices in order to speed up the process of candida

elimination.
