Re: Digestive Disturbances- Natural Remedies ()

[Guest guest]

,

I think it's great that you included an integrative doctor. I

hope there are plans on expanding this important mode of treatment

at future conventions.

How did he recommend that the ginger or peppermint be given, brewing

it as tea? It makes a difference as to its effectiveness. Also, it

is important to drink the tea frequently. Additionally, we have

found that was affected by a case of Candida. If this is

not treated first then any therapeutic teas will have less of an

impact. This is not a typical case of Candida (yeast infection) that

most people seem to understand. Instead it is found in the

intestinal track and most conventional doctors do not believe that

this is possible. Plus it does not usually show up by conventional

testing methods.

I personally know that it is possible to have Candida in the gut

because I was also successfully treated for it. What a difference

it made in my health and also 's. I will try to post

something on the issue when I have more time.

Also, according to my doctor high fiber is way overrated and

actually can be detrimental to sensitive GI tracks. I will discuss

how we handled constipation for also in another post, it

was very effective.
