Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Aimee, I think you'll want to start with a really small amount of the GSE and work up. Yes, I think you'll want to dilute it more than just in a spoonful of liquid. Try some yourself... a couple of drops in a half a cup of juice of some kind..... you'll get an idea of how strong the taste can be. I do think it could kind of " burn " his mouth and throat if you only mix it in a spoonful. It should mix pretty well into whatever juice he drinks.... just shake it good. Patti sandy stools and GSE Good Morning All! I posted yesterday about sandy stools then it dawned on me that I had another question to bounce off of you all. Ok, here's the scoop. We've been on SCD for a little over four weeks. We think that my son has leaky gut. Prior to SCD he had 10 BMs everyday. Within the first month we saw huge improvements in that dept. And bloating was all but gone using Caprylic acid. Within the last week he is now passing small amounts of totally sandy bm's about 2-3 times a day. We're still stage one and 1/2 of 2. We weren't comfortable moving him forward because we still saw food bits in his BMs I've been grinding more and making sure his bites are small etc. We never had sandy before. And he was becoming pretty formed. And we also now have bloating again. So here are my questions. What is sandy stool an indication of and what should I change? We are now starting grapefruit seed extract for the possible re explosion of candida (cause for new bloating?) We bought the liquid/gel from a previous posting. I see that we do the drops into juice/water. But do you all find that you can put the correct amount of drops just into a teaspoon of juice and drink it quick? Suggestion? I read somewhere that we don't mix GSE with probiotics in the same juice. So that's why I add the L.Glutamine and probiotic that he takes into his am and pm sippy. Then I figured we could take the GSE in a teaspoon of juice the recomended 3 times a day. But the directions were very intense about not taking it orally straight. So I was affaid the potency would burn his lips or something. Or that the gelness of the GSE wouldn't allow it to mix up in a sippy. Thanks for you time. Great day to all. :)Aimee 2 yr son, healing leaky gut, SCD 4ish weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Thank you. How long would you think we should do it for Cadida? What are your thoughts on the stools? > > Aimee, > > I think you'll want to start with a really small amount of the GSE and work up.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Thank you, how many days/weeks would you recommend trying it for? Is the bloating going down and die off symtoms the only way we know that candida is coming under control? Is the sandy stool an indication of something horrid? Does it go away? :)Aimee 2 yr son, healing leaky gut, SCD 5 weeks > > Aimee, > > I think you'll want to start with a really small amount of the GSE and work up.

Guest guest Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Egads! I didn't see these answers. Disregard my previous post of questions. Thank you!! :)Aimee 2 yr son, healing leaky gut, SCD 5 weeks > > Honestly, I am not knowledgeable enough to really tell you " how long " . I do know that GSE is one of those antifungals that you should really rotate..... use it for a couple of months maybe and then switch to a different one.... like Oil of Oregano, or Olive Leaf Extract. You have to try to avoid the yeast becoming resistant, so you change in order to sort of catch 'em off guard and power punch the bad guys. So, I mean, I guess you would keep on doing that.... using one or another antifungal.... until yeast was no longer an issue for him. > > Remember to check out the fresh carrot juice and fresh garlic as an antifungal, too. That is listed in the " Files " section at the group's homepage. > > All I can tell you about the sandy stools is the same thing Becky said.... I am not really *sure* that this is oxalate crystals leaving his body. I know some parents have reported that to be the case. I'm not sure how we'd tell. It could be related to something else entirely. I do think it's temporary. > > Patti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
