Temporary Cessation Of All Sugars, Including Fruit

Day 2 of no sugar, including fruit and starchy veggies/carbs. I have just been so bloated that I'm thinking maybe bad bacteria are munching on the sugars and then belching a lot, leading me to...well...you get the picture.

I'm also eating lots of onions, since they help to kill off yeasties. I'm not too keen on taking pills....but does anyone have any other ideas about killing yeast and BAD bacteria? Thanks.

or ideas about coping with a complete lack of carbs in one's diet to the point where one can barely walk back up the driveway from the mailbox?

Actually, garlic is even better than onions in killing off yeast. You shouldn't go without carbs altogether. Make sure you eat lots of vegetables, and include ones that contain carbs, like rutabaga, carrots, squash etc. (potatoes are too starchy right now). Also, you shouldn't cut out all fruit. I think apples are still okay (in moderation).

Are you doing this under the supervision of a doctor? A naturopath or homeopath would be the best choice. They could first of all give you natural medicine to kill yeast, and give you better guidelines on what to eat and not to eat.

Have you considered probiotics?

I strongly recommend checking them out! I have had a very good experience with them....

Good luck!

Probiotics, coconut oil, onion, galic (I take pills), there are other things you can buy at the health food store to detox yeast -- I'm thinking it may be caprylic acid, but ask first as it's been a while for me.

If being no carb is bothering you, eat something not sugary -- like someone suggested, starchy veggies. It's better to eat some potato every day than to feel so bad. The die off is going to make you feel bad, too, so if you eat a carb and slow it down some it might be more comfortable.

Probiotics kill yeast and also saurkraut, if you're dairy intolerant. :)

Okay.

I eat lots of raw sauerkraut, but I'll add probiotics.

I eat squash and sweet potato, so I think I'm better this time than last time with the energy thing.

Garlic hits me the wrong way, so I avoid that pretty well...but eat lots of onions.

I have not yet considered pills/medicine to kill yeast ... but will think on that. I'm not even sure I have a yeast problem, I am just going on yucky tongue, gas/bloat, and energy issues.

Now my problem is INSANE gas, and not pleasant to the nose either -- this is not normally an issue for me. I also have constant intestinal cramping. I'm pooping about every other or every third day - usually the start is fine, but the ending is not exactly well-formed.

ARG!!!!

Well, I'll try you all's advice and see if we get anywhere. I'm also thinking that going raw for a while might help -- don't know why, just seems possible. (I had spinach salad for breakfast.)

Thanks everyone.

Many times this is because of the yeast. People with yeast usually don't like onions either.

Add coconut oil to what you're already doing, it's not a pill.

I have been yeast and sugar free for about 3 weeks and have lost 9 pounds. I follow the candida control diet plan and it seems to be working. It is alot more restrictive then wheat free. It means eating so many vegetables and quality protien and limited carbs, no fruit and nothing with sugar in it. I gained 13 pounds after going gluten free and I did not eat gluten free substitutes after diagnosis. I was working out, lifting weights and doing an hour of cardio 5-6 days a week and nothing. I tried this and the weight is finally coming off. I even went back to the gym and starting weight lifting again. I stopped for a while becasue nothing I was doing was working so I figured why bust my botty working out when nothing was working. I started losing wieght about 4 years ago and had lost 75 pounds by working out and Atkins and then it stopped about 2 years ago and I have been trying everything since then and I think I finally found what I need to do. It might be worth looking into. I would recommend checking out Open Original Shared Link for more information.

Good Luck,

Nicole

MANY people have problems digesting raw vegies like cabbage, onions and garlic. I previously used BEANO to prevent gas and bloating pain, before they added Mannitol to Beano. I react badly to all alcohol derived artificial sweetners like sorbitol, etc. Now I use EXCUSEME, a chewable enzyme supplement which helps digest difficult to digest onion and cabbage family vegies, as well as beans. However, I didn't even take that when I did 3 weeks of the very limited Candida diet. I would also suggest drinking Pau D'Arco tea which is a good antifungal and cooked garlic (I couldn't tolerate raw).

I second URSULA's suggestion that you see a naturopath to determine whether you actually have Candida. When I first saw my naturopath, he said my symptoms sounded like Candida. However he gave me a comprehensive stool bacteria, yeast and parasite test as well as the ELISA test for allergies (IgG and IgE mediated) to 100 different foods. After my first visit, before I learned my test results, but after hearing my doctor's guess about Candida, I decided to go on the very restrictive antiCandida diet (no yeast, molds, vinegars, fruits, low carb, no sugars). I'm not overweight and added oil and fats to EVERYTHING so I would NOT lose weight, but I still lost 4 pounds in 3 weeks of carefully following that anticandida diet.

However, when my test results came back, my candida levels were normal, but I had a bad Klebsiella infection and absolutely NO bifidobacteria (good bacteria). I also learned that I had 2 other allergies (egg and cane sugar) in addition to gluten intolerance, milk and soy allergies (which I learned 2 years ago). So the anticandida diet helped me feel better, because I cut out the cane sugar, but I was still eating eggs, which made me constipated and bloated. Most of all the Klebsiella infection influenced chronic cramping pains in my gut.

My lab test results also indicated which drugs or herbal supplements would treat my particular strain of Klebsiella. So we didn't have to guess. I chose Caprylic acid, because I get bad side effects from most drugs. After 2 weeks on high dose Caprylic acid and 4 weeks of super high dose probiotics, I have no bloating, very little gas, normal stools and NO MORE PAIN.

If you really do have Candida, your particular strain may be resistant to some drugs or herbal treatments. Many people with Candida struggle for years, going on and off Candida diets, trying this and that, without every getting the Candida under control. Instead of guessing or prolonged discomfort from symptoms or deprivation from restrictive diets, I suggest you see a naturopath who will actually TEST you for Candida, preferably with a stool test which you send to a reputable (quality control tested) lab, which will tell you exactly what meds or herbal treatments will treat your particular strain of yeast or bacteria.

I'm sure you're right. I'm going to get tested for it. meanwhile, I'm on a 80-90% raw diet...which is helping quite a bit. If nothing else it's giving my system a break. I don't seem to have any problems digesting the raw foods, at least not thus far, though they all end up tasting like fresh salsa (which, thankfully, tastes good.).

Thanks all.

Suzanne Somer's endocrinologist said when your body is healing you will gain weight. It's temporary and when it's better the weight will come off. Nothing was causing a weight loss for me except giving up grains and not eating so many nuts. So I'm going low carb. Now I'm sick with a sinus infection and on antibiotics. I feel so bloated. I take probiotics and I force myself to eat saurkraut.

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
