ARCHIVED A Few Questions About Candida....
moldlady replied to jmengert's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Marian, I've used Pau d'arco herb and it works but one has to take it continually for a long time. It should be rotated with other antifungals for best efficiency. I agree that even the gluten free grains will feed fungus unless they are whole grains and taken less frequently. I would suggest only whole oats and brown rice occasionally and see... -
ARCHIVED A Few Questions About Candida....
moldlady replied to jmengert's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Hi Loral, The bacteria and fungus maybe protecting themselves with a biofilm that shields them from the drugs. They are there and continue to cause irritation and inflammation. Oregano is a strong anti fungal and anti bacterial but you have to take enough of it and for a while in order to kill these resistant germs off. The diet/lifestyle is essential... -
Congrats to Paula also for having success. April, I've heard that some people have trouble with the xylitol. It gave me bloat and gas and for some they got headaches. It wasn't die off because most of us were already on a restricted diet and taking strong antifungals. So, I think it is a good thing that you are cautious and not eating a ton of it...

ARCHIVED Barley Grass And Wheat Grass
moldlady replied to lonewolf's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Hi Psipsina, It is hard to know who to trust these days. I would certainly check it out anyway. I also had a lady tell me that something did not have gluten in it at whole foods the other day.... I think it was sorghum. I've only been with this for a short time, so I"m learning too. Here is what I found: I'll post here and the link is at... -
Psipsina, I found out the same thing. Fungus feeds on it... Most of those substitutes unfortunately are either toxic or the fungus feeds on it. I guess the only safe one right now is stevia until we hear more about that.... It is processed so I don't know if it is fully safe but I do know that it does not feed the fungus. ML

ARCHIVED A Few Questions About Candida....
moldlady replied to jmengert's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Matt, From what I have learned, do your best to get a diagnosis and then go forward with a lifestyle that will heal the body. Listen to your own body and keep trying things... as we are each different in how we respond and our genetic tendancies are a bit different. ML -
ARCHIVED A Few Questions About Candida....
moldlady replied to jmengert's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Loraleena, Repeated courses of antibiotics actually force the bacteria into the tissues and they embed in order to survive. Or, they form biofilms with fungus in order to survive and be protected. So in essence, repeated bladder problems is usually fungus and then it gets so bad that bacteria gets in there too because the immune system is weakened... -
ARCHIVED A Few Questions About Candida....
moldlady replied to jmengert's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Mattj, If you have a great deal of fungus in the intestines, it can be seen. One would have to be immune compromised in order for them to see the white overgrowth in the intestines... like in an aids condition, or cancer patient, etc. If you just have a bit of problem, it is microscopic and cannot be seen... or if it is systemic embedded in the tissues... -

Glad to be of assistance Holly. My friend said just typing it up for me made her hungry. ML -
ARCHIVED Chicken Fried Steak
moldlady replied to HollyH's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Good question. She says that most wheat flours give her bad reactions and make her fingers swell. She gets this wheat flour from Minn. and it doesn't cause any swelling of her fingers. They do not store the wheat in big storage bins and therefore no mold in the wheat berries. She is not celiac that I know of so she still uses wheat flour but a special... -
ARCHIVED Chicken Fried Steak
moldlady replied to HollyH's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Southern Chicken (or Country) Fried Steak this recipe is my friend's and she goes by healthy bee. I have never tried this so can't say much but she is a great cook. HB uses a special uncontaminated wheat flour but I suggested the oat flour. Travel at your own on this as to what you like best. Heated skillet with grapeseed or coconut oil 2 in" deep.... -
ARCHIVED Want To Quit Smoking

I've heard that niacin supplements help the cravings. Maybe one can get the flushless type and still have it work. -
ARCHIVED Symptoms Worse After Going gluten-free?
moldlady replied to texasmama's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Texas mama, Do you also have systemic fungus? I'm guessing yes since you have diagnosed diabetes wiwth peripheral neuropathy. Going off glutens can starve and kill them off and you might get worse for a bit during the die off phases. ALA supplements can help that condition but it takes time. Also some good coQ 10 for your heart even though it may be... -
ARCHIVED Lacking Something?
moldlady replied to carecare's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Great advice already.....I agree with magnesium, potassium, and B12. I like the suggestion to get the potassium from another source. Many people have trouble with bananas as they are very sweet and will feed systemic fungus. They are also very high in latex if one has a latex allergy. I'd like to suggest that cramping may be as simple as poor circulation... -
ARCHIVED Chicken Fried Steak
moldlady replied to HollyH's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hi Holly, I have a friend that makes this and I just contacted her by email/message to see if she can find the recipe. I'm a veggie eater so I can't help with this at all...sorry. But, hopefully by this late evening I'll have some kind of any answer for you. moldlady -
Tee, I'm so sorry to hear this. I unfortunately had to stop eating most of those meat analogs because they had too much "sugar" in them for my systemic fungus. Also they had other stuff that "fed" the yeast/fungus too like potato starch flour or corn starch flour. I agree with you that it gets increasingly harder and harder to eat right and be well...

Ken70, You are so right! One has to be faithful to the plan! I tried doing things the other way and it just doesn't work. My husband lost 30 lbs real easy on this plan. I however managed to stay the same. I'd like to trim off 15 and I"m hoping that repairing my intestines will help manage that by getting better absorption and not feel the need to keep...

ARCHIVED A Few Questions About Candida....
moldlady replied to jmengert's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Jmengirt, If you still have problems after treating & not feeding fungus and being faithful to anti gluten type lifestyle, then you might have heavy metal issues. I've been treating and eating antifungal for 8 years and could never seem to stray much and be back to feeling bad. Since I have getting rid of heavy metals and now anti gluten, things... -
Yupper Radgirl, I'm right there with you too. You are not alone. I'm detoxing heavy metals, fighting fungus, and eating the no gluten lifestyle. I've been fighting heavy metals for two years now and continuing. I've been fighting fungus for 8 years. And, just recently started the no gluten thing. I'm in my 3rd week. As April said, to fight...

April... great tips and thoughts. Paula... I'm so glad that you are coming out of the woods on this. When faced with food I know will make me sick, it is so much easier to pass it by and make smart choices. Ken70, Herxing is a terrible feeling but you know that you are killing off the main culprit and that should feel good mind-wise. Each...

ARCHIVED Cheese Alternative...?
moldlady replied to sickchick's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Rice guy, I use the potassium 1/4 c. in a detox. bath. I can't stand the flavor of it as I tried a dusting of it once in my oatmeal. Is it okay in a detox. bath? So, if I do not use the nutritional yeast in recipes, what is the safe alternative? ML -
Thanks April for answering as I've been gone or very busy in the last two days!! And, thank you for the recipes. I can't wait to try them. You are correct and basically, everytime I tried to check to see if I was healed, I would go through die off again. At first, I thought I'd be on this a month or two and be well. NOT. Then, I did 6 months and...

Yolo, It seems like you have many talents and probably had a hard time decided on just what you wanted to do in life. Now, you are here trying to help people and yourself! I think it is a great mission to help people get well. I read what you said about your mother. My mother only did well when I was with her and controlling things for her. As soon...
