Hi, I am thinking about trying out the cleanse, but I don’t know if it is right for me, maybe some of you can give me your advice. I actually tried the cleanse for 2 days and I found it very difficult at night, I seem t be able to get through it during the day but at night I wind up gorging myself on all the wrong foods. Currently, I have a moderate case of candida, along with malabsorption problem (though I have been gaining more wieght than I would like), and an Enterbacter cloacae infection (I don’t know wht this infection is doing to me). Now, for my questions/concerns. Sin ...

Hi, I have made the cultured veggies according to the B.E.D. but the problem I have is that everyone complains when I open the jar. They can’t stand the smell. Also, I made a batch and really stuffed my ball mason jars and probably didn’t leave enough room in them and 1 jar exploded after 2 days. Two other jars were leaking and when I opened them it was like opening a bottle of shaken soda; liquid everywhere. Needless to say, the smell was around for a couple of days, the complaints I received...whew! Anyone have any tips to combat this problem? Thanks   [End]

BEETLEJUICE, I feel like I wrote this post myself! I’m going through the EXACT same thing. I wish I had the answer, I am gaining weight at an astonishing rate, I feel miserable. Here are a couple of things that have recommended to me. Take l-glutamine powder to curb cravings, take lecithin capsules to curb cravings, use stevia instead of sugar, eat more protein and the use of good fats. I don’t know if these will help you, they didn’t really work for me but I know a lot of people say things have worked. If you find any tips let me know.   [End]

Hi TC, Thank you for all the information, those links are very informative. I live in New York, actually not too far from NYC so I may give Dr. Galland a call.   [End]

Hi TC-12, Thank your for your reply. I am currently taking the prescribed herbs to help get rid of the pathogens that I have. I have a question though, could these metobolic problems manifest themselves as musculoskeletal imbalances and neurological problems? I have pains in my knees and my back/pelvis/hips are skewed a bit. I have been to many physical therapists but to no avail. Also, since I am having malabsorption issues, my body will not absorb magnesium properly or any other vitamin and mineral for that matter. Thanks again   [End]

Hi Shelley, I posted this in the candida forum as well. I have a few questions I’m hoping someone can shed some light on. I recieved my lab results back from Great Smokies Lab (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis) my doctor said, according to the results, I have a few things going on. First, there is a large amount of strep in my gut, a possible pathogen called Enterobacter cloacae, a small yeast infection but could be from the other bacterias, malabsorption problems in a big way. I am not absorbing any fats, all my fat absorption results (Long chain fatty acids, cholestero ...

Hi All, I have just been diagnosed with a pseudomonas infection, which I think is is causing a malabsorption of food. Does anyone know anything about this? The few things I have read about it does not seem to fit me. Thank you. Cicliste   [End]

Jhan, Are you saying that if I eat more salt and protein I will not crave salts and sweets, such as peanut butter, popcorn, hot sauce (yeah I love it EXCESSIVELY hot!), ice cream, chocolate, etc...? Todd   [End]

Excellent post Jhan!! Thank you. Unfortunately I cheated again last night, though not as bad as last time. I don’t know what it is, I am only hurting myself. One thing I did learn, is that this cold/flu is die off related because after I ate popcorn and peanut butter (not together, though that might not be so bad. lol) I started to feel a bit better, not so symptomatic. I just have to get through it. I will keep you informed on my progress. Thanks again, Todd   [End]

You are 100% correct Shelley! Now I know EXACTLY why I don’t want to do that again. Strange thing though, the only thing that seemed to bother me (physically) about that binge was just the sheer quantity of the food I ingested and not WHAT I had eaten. I think I would have felt just as sick and disgusting if I had eaten that many vegetables instead. Shelley, what is ”pungent therapy”?   [End]

Thanks for replying Anne. I don’t feel that I am angry with anyone, I do however get annoyed with myself when I can’t stick to something and I let something like junk food beat me. Maybe I’m just too competitive for my own good sometimes ;-). You mentioned a rescue drink, what is it exactly and when would you take it? Todd   [End]

Myra, You are definately not alone!!

(also posted in the ask shelley forum) Well after only 2 weeks of eliminating sugar and watching my diet very closely I blew up! Badly! I just had a MASSIVE binge (A LOT of ice cream, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a huge muffin). I finally felt like *maybe* I was experiencing some die off as I came down with a bad cold with a fever and chills and a lot of sneezing, I haven’t been sick in quite some time now. Now I feel like I ruined all that discipline, not only do I feel completely sick to my stomach and want to lie down and vomit for a half an hour but I feel extremely ...

What is everyones thought on the Body Ecology diet? I just bought the book and a lot of what it says seems to make a lot of sense. Is it worth following (pros/cons)? If not, what is better? And what have been everyones responses to it? Thanks, Todd   [End]

Hi All, I have been following the candida diet for about a week now as well as doing the P&B shakes for bowel cleansing for 2 weeks and also a parasite cleanse (Dr. Clarks formula) now on day 6. I don’t think I’m doing any of it right though. From what I have read, most people have experienced some sort of die off (though right now I have come down with a sore throat and a cold, I don’t think this die off) after eliminating sugar and anything else that feeds yeast. They feel poor or miserable no energy, etc... I don’t feel that at all, I feel the same way as before I started. For th ...

Hi All, I have started the P&B Shakes 6 days ago. I have a terrible time digesting the shakes. Right now I am using Yerba Primas Bentonite and Psyllium. I get only one BM, in the morning after drinking coffee. I am taking 3 - 5 shakes/day but I am so backed up. I try to eat light and I drink A LOT of water, yet I am gaining too much weight. What gives? I tried using Yerba Primas Fiber Plus but it has Senna in it and I think that is a laxative. I want to stay away from any laxatives because I believe some of my problems (bloating, diarrhea) stem from chronic laxative use (to eas ...

Hi All, I;m just starting Dr. Clarks parasite cleanse. I have two questions: 1 - How do I know if I have any parasites? 2- What should I find when taking this cleanse? How long does it take to see results? Thank you, Todd   [End]

Thank you very much NewUk and Grr for the responses. NewUk, I will try the pumpkin seeds and if I do Dr. Clarks parasite cleanse there is a chance that I will flush out the parasites (and actually see them?) and eliminate my sugar cravings? Grr, the maple syrup, chocolate syrup and cookies is an excellent combo but next time you have to add in a half jar of peanut butter or Nutella along with some ice cream, you know just to wash it down...can’t beat it! LOL! What you said about the living conditions is very interesting and one that I have never considered, though after carefully t ...

Hi Everyone, Let me preface this question by stating my background a little. I have been suffering from bloating and diarrhea for over a year now and I have found (wrongfully!) that one way for me to combat the discomfort of being bloated was to use laxatives, about 3-4 times a week. Now I have a difficult time going to the bathroom, I strain a lot and usually to no avail, but when I do go it is always diarrhea not watery but EXTREMELY loose, no formation at all. Now, I started using the P&B shakes about 4 days ago with some left over GNC brand psyllium. It was making me very cons ...

Hi Shelley, Thank you so much for the response. Actually, I plan on starting Dr. Clarks parasite cleanse tomorrow. As for supplements, I am taking l-carnitine, l-arginine, l-ornithine, l-tyrosine, l-glutamine, CoQ10, chromium picolinate (which I just started about 2 weeks ago), vitamins C, B6, B12, E as well as Source Naturals Essential Enzymes. Also I am about to start taking Standard Process’ Multizyme and Protefood, I had taken them about 3 months ago and some of the digestion problems (specifically the bloating) seemed to diminish, after I ran out my supplier was nowhere to be fo ...

Hi All, I am new to the group and I have a couple of questions. First, some background. I am an elite level cyclist and for the past year and a half I have been suffering from some serious musculoskeletal problems that is preventing me from training and competing. During this time of inactivity I have been watching what and how much I eat to try and maintain or even lose some weight, which I have managed, but since then I have developed some other problems every time I eat. I get diarrhea (but not the urgent kind) and bloating (from everything including plain water!?), undigested fo ...
