Re: OT: H Pylori and Mastic, does it work?

[Guest guest]

I recently came up with h. pylori on an Assyra test. My doc recommended

saccromyces boullardi (sp?). It slipped my mind until a few weeks later when I

had an increase in stomach issues. I started taking the sacc b and the symptoms

disappeared.

Good morning listmates,

My 4 year old has H pylori. He does bad with antibiotics. Did you ever used

Mastic Gum? Did it work? thank you! mom of

There's some evidence that H. Pylori isn't a pathogen at all, but rather it has

evolved symbiotically to be part of our immune system. It produces Treg cells,

which is kinda like the holy grail of immune healing. It is supported be

byproducts of Klebsiella in the intestines, which over-produce when fed starch,

thus causing the H. Pylori to overgrow, and that's when it can cause problems,

when there is an imbalance. Here's more about that from one of my favorite

medical blogs:

WARNING- this post discusses parasites, so it can get gross.

Here's the excertp:

" Treg Development Depends on Gut Flora

Gut bacteria are needed for the normal function of the immune system. Oddly,

Helicobacter pylori, Hp, the cause of stomach ulcers and cancer, also stimulates

the development of Tregs. Thus, the pathology of Hp may result not from its

presence, but rather from how it is growing. Since Hp uses hydrogen gas

produced by Klebsiella in the lower bowel and hydrogen production is dependent

on dietary starch, then it follows that the pathological behavior of Hp may be

dependent on dietary starch. A low starch diet may actually result in Treg

stimulation from Hp and a reduction in allergies and autoimmune diseases. "

Interesting. I increased enzymes at the same time I started the sacc b, in case

it was a food issue. Just assumed the sacc b did it, but I think I'll try the

extra enzymes without the sacc b to see if I really need it.

Thanks,

Darla
