Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Do you mean GSE? Grapefruit seed extract? I have not heard of GFE. Patti Battling Yeast My 10 year old son as been on SCD for 4.5 months and still continues with yeast problems. I have had him on GFE almost from the beginning of the diet -working up to 10 drops twice a day for the last 3 months. I just switched last week to MCT Oil. As anyone had success with it? I'm giving him 1 tblspoon a day -- how does that dose sound? How often should I rotate back to the GFE? Thanks, Maureen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 <<Sorry - I do mean Grape Fruit Seed Extract.>> OK, that helps... thanks.

I'm not sure that applies to MCT oil or coconut oil, because they're just fats. Three continuous months at 10 drops twice a day seems like a lot of GSE. So, you must have found that not to be effective if you're stopping that in favor of MCT oil? Are you using SCD yogurt.... and/or acidophilus supplements? Essential to replace gut pathogens with good flora or yeast will take over. And, if you are already using these, have you been giving them apart from the GSE? Have you considered the Candex or other yeast fighting enzymes? What about the carrot juice and garlic remedy in the files section? I hope some other parents who are more knowledgeable about the MCT oil dosage can answer.... I just really don't know. I've only ever used regular coconut oil with my daughter.... but not necessarily trying to fight yeast, just using it as a healthy cooking oil.
