Hi all, I have been on the anticandida diet for soooo long with periodic slips. Been taking threelac too and also have added fivelac as well. I've been on that for 5 weeks now. I don't know if its helping. Myfriend said she quit taking threelac after 3 weeks cuz she got sicker and sicker and so did her family. She's believing shes got leaky gut and Im thinking maybe I do too. Its hard to have a BM and not use a ton of toilet paper if you know what I mean. Not diarea but not well formed either. Does anyone know how I can tell if I do have leaky gut and if I do, what do I eat? And what supplements do I take? And is it curable? It always seems like I have some sort of IBS problem, ie gas, bloating, constipation or bowels such as described above. What is up with me? Thanks for any insight! Diane

You are mercury poisoned.

Hi Diane,

How about following this for awhile and see if this helps your condition? It may well be leaky gut, or any number of gut issues related to candida and the like. Either way, it appears this diet is designed to help.

I would be very careful about taking potent products for candida and the gut if there is a leaky gut issue present. I've been there and they can make a condition like this worse sometimes, rather than better. I think diet is probably your safest bet at this stage.

Regardless, if the underlying condition is not addressed and attended to, you, like myself, will likely be battling this long term and possibly permanently.

Mercury toxicity is a highly likely cause/culprit or at least a contributing factor in conditions like these. As are other dental toxicities like cavitations/root canals etc. Viral infections can be another one as I can attest to. All these can create an environment where candida can flourish due to lowered/challenged immunity and an imbalance of gut flora/yeast.

Thx Bex, Im checking out the website now! Diane

Are you taking large amounts of vitamin c or magnesium? Those can contribute to what you are describing. So can certain herbs. You need to think about what you are eating, and what supplements you are taking. Perhaps you might need to decrease the amounts of vitamin c and magnesium you are taking, or else spread these out over more doses so you don't take too much at a time. Perhaps the threelac or 5 lac are causing the problem? Did you have the problem before you started on these?
