Break over, when?

PK,

I'm sorry.

I think many people have leaky gut and don't know it.

During my misdiagnosis journey I was told candida first then fibromyalgia.

When I thought it was candida I did strictest candida diet along with prebiotics, probitoics, molydbenum and a few other things but nothing OTC like nystatin (made me sick).

I did it for twenty weeks without cheating and it really healed so many issues. I was getting chronic sinus infections to the point where ENT scheduled me for surgery. Haven't had one in three or four years.

I would do the strictest candida diet and take Borrelogen. It's a Jernigan main herb for Lyme. It's gentle and will keep you Lyme at bay.

This is jus my two cents. Either way I hope you feel better soon.

PK,

Oh great. I hope it works for you. I have been on it about four months now. I am also working with a holistic practitioner and doing frequency work and taking homeopathics that she gives me.

I don't want to jinx myself but yesterday is the best I have felt in a year!!! If you are wondering why it's not today that is because a woodpecker had me up at 5:30am and I'm so tired.

I digress. I have never herxed on the Borrelogen and I herx on pretty much everything. I'm up to full dosage 3x a day and really, really think I'm turning a corner.

I stopped a lot of what I had been on when Trav told me to build up my immunity. I think it's all working. I continue immune building, started Jernigan products, detox and will be putting myself back on the strict candida diet once it gets a little warmer.

I call it the famine diet because you lost so much weight. I make a fake 'bread' and eat lots of avocado to keep weight on and keep full. If you need any tips I can pass them on.

LOL. I made it sound so appealing didn't I?

I call it coconut bread. I make it with coconut/almond flour and a few other ingredients.

It has a lot of good fat in it and coconut is a prebiotic so good for candida.

It helped me to feel like I was having bread.

There are many paleo and gluten free breads out now but most have sugars, soy, rice. On strictest candida you can' have any of that.

If you were close by I would make it for you.

yum i love lemon/blueberry together.

hmmm....if you feel like sharing the recipe...

Hi kitty -

Well, you are becoming a pro at building a yeast/fungal overgrowth protocol - good for you. I hope your diet is coming along, it's not a "fun" daily menu, I know.

I really, really hate to say it but it can take a very long time to heal the gut and close the chapter on leaky gut. It took me over a year. I have read others state about the same time frame, more or less. I think you should start feeling better in a few months, regarding GI issues and certainly y/f issues.

I think I started on herbs at the 4 month mark but after starting herbs I also declined further and that's why I started on IV abx for Lyme - stayed on herbs for bart and babs. I think that was an OK time frame for me before starting the herbs.

And if you can kick detoxing up a notch, it will help. Easier said than done, I know.

And just keep up hope. You're doing really well.

PK,

Please keep us posted. Terrible to have setbacks but glad you know what it is.

Your last sentence helped me with dealing with my son. Think we have to work on his gut and postpone things.

Dr. SJ has an entire 'gut seal' program. You probably already know this.

I'm going to research it.

Feel better and glad you aren't vomiting anymore. Yikes.
