    Well, seemingly the liver thing is an issue for me, too. I just got the report from my testings and - well - can't say I'm exactly happy. Adrenals are completely okay, which is good. Who would be fond of suffering from adrenal insufficiency... Basically the report says I'm perfectly healthy and the psychiatrist was right: I'd go to some psychosomatic...

    Hi Sherry, I'm not quite sure if that is for the same issue, but I know of some naturopaths who make heat packs with paraffin. It's said to take the toxins out of the body. No idea whether this is true or not but maybe worth a try?

    Just stumbled over this SCD legal toothpaste recipe: Mix 100 ml sage or peppermint tea with 100 g white clay and some salt until creamy. Then add 5 drops peppermint oil. Store in small container.

    Hi all, I just pop in to post a recipe for starch free, sorbitol free toothpaste I just found: Mix 100 ml sage or peppermint tea with 100 g white clay and some salt until creamy. Add 5 drops peppermint oil, store in small container. I'll put this into the SCD recipe thread, too.

    Hi, welcome to the thread :-) Don't let your doc talk you into feeling stupid, just listen to your Body and try to figure out what diet will help you. Yoghurt isn't a must; but eating things which are high in probiotics might be helpful to restore your gut flora. There are recipes for yoghurt made from coconut milk which maybe don't taste like yoghurt...

    Jan, I totally agree with you that many of your family members would get better if they had a look into their diet. My mother for sure had lots of intolerances - gastro problems were the starting point of her alcoholism: She had pain in the chest that nearly drove her crazy, and as nobody found the reason for that pain, she started drinking alcohol to...

    Ali, sorry to hear your mother's sad story. Good thing you are working things out for yourself so that you won't end up like that, too! I had some colonics several years ago, and I felt similar to what you describe after the first time. But it got better, and that was a time when I felt really great - no wonder, I ate nearly no carbs and for sure not...

    Hi Ms Jan, yes, I've experienced something similar. As unfortunately I'm fructose intolerant and can't have honey nor any fruits or veggies except very few cranberries, rhubarb, corn salad and some chard, broccoli or zucchini, I got huge problems with my blood sugar level soon. Somehow my body is not able to live on proteins and fat only - the Atkins...

    Hi Clearsky, welcome to the thread :-) Seems like you are on a good way - you're lucky to start a healing way of life so early, maybe this will be easier than for people who start past their thirties. Nice to have you here and share your experiences! Mia

    Hi Whitney, sorry if I already asked this - again I lost track a bit But have you ever checked for fructose malabsorption? That is something which comes along with celiac quite often, and very often it makes bad C. Maybe trying to avoid everything high in fructose is an option, just to see if it gets better? That's not easy doing SCD, because it means...

    Sorry, I wasn't around the past few days :-) Ali, I thought about fermenting cottage cheese, too. Maybe first process it in a processor to get it smooth and then ferment? The curd cheese which I buy comes in 1lb containers. But I found that once fermented you can store it for quite a long time. I had one batch of two 1lb containers which lasted two weeks...

    Hi pele, curd here in Germany is a very common diary, so I use to buy normal curd and then ferment the curd for 24 hours. I just mix it with one cup starter-yoghurt and leave it in the yoghurt maker for 24 hours. It always turns out delicious. So why shouldn't you make curd and then ferment it? Mia

    Hi fig girl, first I thought I could tolerate ripe bananas and avocados because they don't cause bloating. But then I became aware that it's not only the gastro intestinal symptoms but quite a range of other symptoms, too, which might be caused by histamine. Now I found out that I can tolerate tiny amounts of avocados at once, about 1/8 avocado per day...

    Hi Ali, yes, I had to take antibiotics recently because of bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine plus recurrent kidney infection. Well, evidently the antibiotics killed the bacteria - good and bad ones - and I had no further problems with kidney infection, and the bloating in the small intestine has gone, too. No candida because I didn't eat carbs...
  15. GermanMia
    Yes, that makes big sense. I'm going to see an GE who also is endoctinologist in two weeks

    Hi and welcome :-) Just recently I found out that besides gluten intolerance and fructose malabsorption I developed a histamine intolerance. The funny thing is that one symptom of histamine intolerance can be craving for "forbidden" foods, and I found that as soon as I stay away from these things the carving gets better. Did you ever get tested for celiac...

    Uh - glue - yes, that's nasty to drink... I don't know if it was this, but they seem to go back to bismut salt as a cure. I'll see if I can find it.

    Ali, what is PVA??? Sorry - at this point my English has come to it's end But concerning the helicobacter: I just read that recently they do some new cure which is not antibiotic. Just caught a glimpse of it and sadly don't remember where. But maybe it's something from Australia?

    Ali, the breathe test is the most reliable HP test, so really do that! I'm afraid I haven't heard of a working cure except the antibiotics - meanwhile it's even a triple antibiotic which is recommended because the other one seemed to fail in most cases. My naturopath friend himself had HP and did the quadruple treatment (three antibiotics and omeprazol...

    Well, actually the calories wouldn't bother me, either, but as I'm very skinny it is quite difficult to get people believe that I'm not faint because I'm anorectic and don't eat enough... I was just fed up with doctors suspecting I might be anorectic - the worst thing is that anorectic people deny that they are anorectic and don't eat enough, and they tend...

    Sweden, I think. Hundred year old fish - the cans have to be opend under water - horrible thought But there also are fermented fish products in far eastern cuisines, like fish sauce, which I really like (although I must admit that I *am* picky with those things...). Normally the body is able to provide the brain with the glucose it needs without...

    Yes, we do; raw or fermented, but not cooked - more than 42 degrees Celsius and the enzymes are dead, I'm afraid.
  23. GermanMia
    I don't know how it is in the US and GB, but in Germany you can make stool tests (nearly every conventional medical lab will do them if the doc orders it) to check for candida. Everything up to 10.000 candida-cells per g stool is considered normal, starting with 10.000 per g stool you should keep an eye on it and from 1000000 candida-cells per g stool it...

    Ali, the acquired form, i. e. the fructose malabsorption, may result from mucosa destruction in the gut, but it's not especially an enzymatic problem. In fact there is a thing called carrier protein (GLUT 5) which transports fructose into the cells of the small intestine from where they are carried via another carrier protein, GLUT 2, into the liver. If...

    In fact there are studies which show that high intake of starches and sugars - carbs - leads to high colesterol. My egg and fat intake is *very* high, and my cholesterol is even "too low". Well, that might be because my fat digestion is not very good, and I know that too low "good" cholesterol will disturb hormonal regulation, but that's another thing. Anyway...
