diet update on Gerald Green thing.

just to post  im still on this diet. and no blood or mucus. My weight is 106 which i would like it to be 110. Im 5 foot 1 so my bmi isnt that bad. im working full time. im no longer really tired all the time. I beleive Gerald was right that i had candida. im sure of it 100% hes got to be correct . I dont get to see a doctor till november and ask him what he thinks.  i also do take probitics those are really good and also im tring olive leaf as it is suppose to help with candida. im still reserching about this candida thing and tring to find out more answers. Im still sure that you can blance out your gut with healthy bacteria, im sure the medical industry knows more than they are telling us and im sure that they could help us out more. Its just why dont they. well thats just my thoughts, i will continue on my journy and hopefully find out more. If i find something interesting i will post it. If you dont want to read it just ignore my posts. Take care

good to hear from you since I just received/read G. Greens book from Amazon. Not complaining but he needs a good editor, to eliminate duplicate paragraphs and to sort things out in a logical manner. Your posts with info on his diet were MUCH more logically written.

Could you tell what supplements you take? Wormwood? In what dose? Goldenseal? In what dose?

I am happy with my SCDiet because of my remission (as we both agree it's very similar to G. Green's) but am interested in a better antifungal supplement.

I wish this diet was supported by doctors. It could help so many people in conjunction with their meds. But there's no big money behind it since there's nothing to patent and control access to like big pharma drugs. I had my yearly GI appt a couple weeks ago and my doc said that there are no studies that prove that diet has any effect on UC (in response to my telling her how I was in remission due to the Specific Carbohydrate Diet which she had never heard of). Makes me sad for others with this horrible disease.

Anyway...I look forward to hearing what anti-fungals you been successful with (or not).

the herbs he uses are called Triple Alliance remedy for IBD. He makes this him self so i would have to ask what amount of Mg. he uses. any way they contain Liquorice, Slippery Elm and Golden Seal. For me this really seemed to ease my stomach. especailly if i felt nausea. the wormwood he uses he makes into a capsul containg 8.25mg. he said to take 4 a day of those. although now in remmission i only use the Triple Alliance. he said he uses this to keep the IBD at bay until you get stong enough to not use them basically. some of his cleients take this for a year some for 2 years. i also use probitots and olive leaf. sometimes i did use a bit of colidial sliver as well. but only when i had bleeding i dont really use it now. he also mentioned to me the other day that antibiotcs can play a big role in causing people to have IBD. this was because the antibitocs kill off the good bactereia in the gut, which allows candida to grow out of control. for me though i wasnt on any medication when ibd started, and i hadent been on any for years since i was about 17. just an inhaler occasionly. I was dignosed when i was about 29-30 i think year 2007 any way. so it couldnt be the cause of antibiotcs. it had to be the fact i was eating so so much sugar. I was a really extream eater of chocolate as well. which is a gut irritant. e I really do wish that doctors would admit that diet plays a role in IBD. the GE I spoke to did say that diet was important but would not admit on how big of a role it played. and it really does. He only kept talking about prednisone and cancer, but surly if i had bleeding every day for months and months and then suddnely no bleeding, there is with out a doubt there is a link, and surly the no bleeding will reduce my chances of cancer. I do only seem to go once a day, which feels weird at times, to me, but i guess thats enough for my body. today i had a perfectly formed stool. its weird that you can be so proud of a poo. not that im tring to say im perfect now or anything. but just wow things seem to really have improved. sorry i have not checked my spelling as im in a rush to go see shrek in 3D!!! :)

ok i will tell him, I dont know how much he will push that now. He is 80 and will probalbly hand his healing thing over to his daughter. thats interesting what you say about the wormwood. He only used it with me for 4 weeks. now i only take the triple alliance. I have seen those herbs though at health food stores. i know you can get golden seal from a health food store. coconut oil was on the raw food web page as a good candida killer, so was garlic and ginger. Also when I was on www.j-pouch.org there was a guy there using something called candida gone to help get rid of his pouchtitis. I looked it up and it had garlic in it. I thought that was interesting. I personally dont use garlic all the time but once a week i use it in my cooking as well.
