Here's a great link that details ileocecal valve: http://healing.about.com/cs/conditions/a/aa_ileocecal.htm

Well first of all you want to eliminate all food you are allergic to as all of these irritate the ileocecal valve. I'm so sensitive that I'm able to weed it out by how it feels after eating. Other people who aren't as sensitive need to be allergy tested to find out what their allergens are and stay away from them. This is pretty basic and most people who are serious about getting well already know that.

Second of all you want to follow an "ileocecal diet". There's places on the web that have recommendations. Stay away from raw fruits and vegetables for a couple weeks as well as popcorn, all chips, coffee, sweets, breads, in other devitalized foods. Steamed veggies, chicken, turkey are best.

Stop all supplements or at least grind them down as pills can irritate and in some cases clog the valve.

It comes down to common sense to a certain extent regarding what you put in your mouth. Anything to the touch that is rough, hard to chew, etc. you stay away from.

The ileocecal valve is located 2 inches in from your right hip. If you take your forefinger and middle finger of your right hand and push in and feel around you will find it. It feels like a soft lump. If it is sensitive or sore when you push in then you most definitely have an ileocecal problem. What I usually do is massage it in a circular motion 100-150 times, 3 times/day. There's also pressure points on the body that you use a golfball or your fingertips on.

The problem I see on this forum is that a heckuva lot of the problems I read sound like they may very well be ileocecal valve dysfunction and all the supplements, chelation therapy, etc. are counterproductive at worst and at best it is a lot of people spending a lot of money and pills and other treatments and putting themselves through agony to treat symptoms and not the underlying problem which is ileocecal valve dysfunction.

Everyone here with allergies, candida, autoimmune problems here really needs to research ileocecal valve and see if that is really their underlying problem and treat it accordingly.

You can take supplments, buy air and water purifiers, zappers, foot patches and all those other treatments until you are broke and ready to jump out a window but if ileocecal dysfunction is your underlying problem you will never get well.
