    I hope you are successful. My sister is taking an antibiotic to deal with candida. I'm taking the natural approach. I don't do well with anitbiotics and for me I believe antibiotics caused this problem. Here are some tiips that work for me. I found them on some website. (You are right there is tons of websites wanting to sell us something.) Maybe you won...

    What I have read on the web is that it's diluted to 3% with distilled water. It's suppose to be taken on an empty stomach and it destroys candida and all bacteria in the stomach, includng the good. I agree with everyone here, it seems dangerous. I did read that eating yogurt and vitamin C create hydrogen peroxide that kills the bad bacteria. Thanks...

    Has anyone taken food grade hydrogen peroxide and been cured of candida? My sister wants to try this and I'm concerned for her. Anyone have any info about this treatment? Thanks

    I believe you can do complex carbs, but no more than 15 grams at a meal.

    Lara bars - they are made with fruits and some with nuts. No dairy, rice, gluten, starch etc. I can get them at my grocery store in the health food department. I really like them, but don't buy them often as they are $1 + each

    Yogurt is the most important part of the diet. You can read about it on her website. There are many ways to make the yogurt. I bought the yogurt maker as I work full time and it's much easier. Heat the milk, cool it, add starter and drop it in the maker. There are recipe's online that work also. My sister makes her's in the oven - uses a 60 watt light...

    Make your own! Yogurt - it is the very best probiotic. Nothing can beat it!

    Excellent advise!

    Starchy foods, dairy and grains give me that burning low back pain. Dairy will also give me a burning pain between my shoulder blades. Glad you are doing better. I've been grain, sugar, starch free for 10 months and am doing really. Everyone is so different, but I wouldn't think one month is long enough to be healed. More like 6 month or a year.

    Cross contaminaion may be an issue, but I wouldn't rule out other food intolerances.

    I make a lot of broth from soup bones. 1/4 cup of this broth has 1 cup of milk's worth of calcium. I use it a lot in meat dishes. I have all sorts of trouble with medications. I get lots of digestive problems from drugs. I don't tolerate otc medicines at all anymore. The broth is suppose to be easily absorbed. We'll see.

    Your symptoms are very similar to what I use to deal with. I eliminated all sugar, grains, starch from my diet. I am better. In time I will begin adding some things back in, but right now I"m content with my diet and am flourishing. I follow the Specific Carbohydrate Diet. You can do a web search or by the book Breaking the viscious cycle. I hope you...

    How about MSG? Does that bother you?

    Beans contain both starch and sugar which can be hard for celiac's to digest. You can try soaking them for no less than 12 hours - then rinse them thoroughy - and throw out the water. Navy beans (white) have the least amount of starch. Cross contaimination is an issue, however, more times than not its not cross contaimination - it's starchy and complex...

    the pill can cause bacterial overgrowth in a damaged digestive system. It may not be the pea soup that caused the problem - but then again it could hae been. If you continue to have problems you may want to look at the pill as the problem. Here's an article: In other sufferers, an outbreak of Candida can be traced to the contraceptive pill. The stomach...

    Good luck to you! I hope the change will help. Just a warning of caution on turkey and chicken. Find ones that are not processed or are minimally processed. Many brands inject a solution which can also irritate the intestine. FYI.
  17. chatycady
    There is an article I found on this website that addresses this issue. It talks about "gluten free" may actually cause more bacterial overgrowth which inhibits digestion and absorption. I think they are referring to the many "gluten free" grains and new products that were developed for us. They are harder to digest and may actually irritate the intestines...

    What was your D level? I believe "they" (researchers) have raised the levels for better health. I believe 60 to 80 is what they now recommend. I'm working my way up from 20. Start pumping iron and jumping rope or do some jumping jacks everyday. You are young, you can rebuild your bones. Also, lay off the soda - it sucks magnesium from your body - which...

    Well, I eat all fresh meats - nothing processed, fish, fresh or frozen veggies, homemade yogurt with honey, all fresh and frozen fruit, (with no sugar or any additivies,) except for the few I'm allergic too. I snack on apples, carrots, olives, dill pickles, I also eat lots of onions - very good for the immune system. I've never felt better and have tons...

    I couldn't tolerate the D2. It upset my stomach and I was exhausted for a couple of days. I take D3 the gel form 3000 units a day. It has made a huge difference! I no longer have leg cramps, muscle aches and joint pain. I read that D3 helps heal a leaky gut. Lack of D actually causes gluten intolerance and leaky gut and all sorts of autoimmune diseases....

    This is off subject, but I just wanted to send some words of encouragement for those of you starting or following the SCdiet. I am 53, celiac with all sorts of food intolerances. I found SCdiet about 10 months ago. I have just retuned from a 10 day vacation visiting family and hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. I hiked 6.3 miles one day and 10...

    Gluten, diary, all grains, all starches, nuts, sugar, citrus fruit, strawberries, raspberries, - basically all poly and disachharides.
  23. chatycady
    My eperience has been to figure out the food intolerances on your own. My sister has been to tons for Drs and alternative medical practicioners. They all have a theory on what foods are her problems and they all want to sell her supplements for a large fee. All the supplements caused her more distress. She's finally given up and following an alternative diet...

    I too have osteoporosis and was told to take calcium supplements. I suggested they test my D levels. I was extremely deficienct. I am now taking 2000+ units of D a day. I live in the upper midwest where winter months are ccold and cloudy, plus malabsorption due to celiac disease caused the deficiency. Everyone who's been diagnosed with osteopenia, or...

    Anemia can cause pica. I craved ice and salt. I had both iron anemia and B-12 (pernicious anemia). Eat red meat on a regular basis - iron supplements will irrate your digestive system - which you don't need right now. Anemia causes the dizziness, blacking out, fainting, racing heart and sleepiness. Gluten can also cause the sleepiness. I too could sleep...
