Yeah, why don't they mention candida and its effects on your colon when they do a colonoscopy? Unless, being regular drs. and all, they have not been trained to recognize candida and its ill effects. And another thing. We are always being told that our bowels are totally full of junk from years and years of bad diets etc. I know someone who is 80 years old and constipated for all her life. You would think her bowel would be chock full of crud, but when she had a colonoscopy, they allowed her to look in the scope and she said that it was astoundihng how smooth and pink the colon walls were, with nothing else there. If there were really so much crud there, you would think it would take more than the regular prep for a colonoscopy to get rid of it. Otherwise, why don't we all just go and buy a gallon of "Go-Litely", drink it in one evening, and we are set for the next few years. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />


Because the stuff they give you to take when you have a colonoscopy is so harsh, it purges the colon of all fecal matter and you wouldn't want to take it very often...it would do a lot of damage in very little time. The gluten and dairy that we consume sticks to the lining of the intestine and it is cumulative...layers and layers of the stuff sticks in the gut and makes a nice bed for the yeast/candida to thrive in...and then more is added, that is what causes the distended bellies and gas.

If you have ever taken the stuff that they give you before a colonoscopy, it is absolutely amazing what comes out and it just keeps coming and coming...takes about 12-24 hours and you get very little sleep!!!!

And Bex is right, our bodies produce yeast to buffer us from the effects of the heavy metals and if we don't follow the diet, we keep growing more until it is out of control and plugs up all our detox pathways. I would venture to say that anyone with heavy metal toxicity has a yeast overgrowth.
