Hello immask1,

If you haven't read this page <A

HREF= " http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/0464.html " >Go Ask Alice!: Spastic

colon</A>, it explains my

condition to a tee. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Mine comes from being

anxious and nervous all the time. I get an enormous pain. The colon is

freaking out!!! Then I pass a bowel and it is gone!!! But I will have to

say that since I've been on a strict diet and also tried to relax a little

bit, I have not had that pain but maybe twice in the past 2 months.

Good Luck!!

Does the boric acid burn at all? I'm just nervous about it. I

haven't tried the tea tree oil yet, but I'll try to get some this

week. I know exactly how you feel Roni, I'm SO tired of these damn

infections!

Hi Dee,

The boric acid did not bother me at all. I tried it for a month but I still

have a little itching.

I finally went to see a naturopath. He told me to get off all the

antifungals and give my body a rest for the next 3 weeks. Right now I'm

taking Primal Defense, liquid multi, B-Complex, Folic Acid, Magnesium, and

another probiotic at night in the mouth and in the vaginal area. In

addition, he told me to take a tbsp of apple cider vinegar before I eat each

meal. I have heard that this vinegar is OK to take. Still doing the candida

diet and adding raw garlic to most every meal.

Has anyone ever been told by a naturopath to stop taking antifungals for a

while? His reasoning is that the body can get overloaded even with natural

medicines.

Thanks!

Roni
