Hi again!
It seems like I'm really sensitive to betaine in betaineHCl. I tried pure betaine and it gives me lots of mucus and stomach pain.
I read that someone on the internet uses 5% HCL drops. Any experience with these?
How many drops do I take with each meal and will it destroy my teeth?
I really need HCl for my digestion!!

YES! I would love to talk to her
I have met a lot of people with chronic Lyme and everyone gets their symptoms back when they quit the antibiotics.
I don't want to poison my body with antibiotics for a longer time!!!!
My digestion and gut is already a nightmare.
Of course my super candida could be due to my weak immunsystem due to Lyme.
Thank you so much!!!!

Okay, thanks.
I'll firstly try and eliminate all grains.

Interesting about the castor oil cleanse.
Now I have been using natriumpicosulphate and waterenemas.
Feels like my whole system is paralyzed.
Could I still benefit from the castor oil cleanse?

Hi everyone.
Once again I have to turn to you for help.

I have the worst digestion and am severly underweight.
My stomach is full of bile, which hurts so much and makes it imposible to eat. I have to vomit (mostly bile and looots of mucus) everytime before eating to be able to eat.
I have a really rare form of candida: Candida Pulcherrima. (collected from the bile and mucus that I vomit)
No one seems to know which medication would work on this weird candida but I'm currently eating 150 mg of fluconazole.
I also have bacterial overgrowth and lots of bad bacteria like klebsiella and citrobacter.
Probiotics just worsen the situation.
My whole digestion isn't moving so the only way to get relief from my bloating is by constantly burping.

I eat mostly paleo but still including rice and maize.
The more fat I eat the more bile I have in my stomach so my doctor old me to try eating low fat. But this worsens my candida issue.
Could sibo/candida CAUSE the bile reflux and would it help if I tried eating zero carb?
I'm just afraid that the bile will totally destroy my stomach if I eat more fat.

Hopefully you have any thoughts!!

Hi everyone!

Hopefully someone can help me.
I completely lack stomach acid. Feels like everything is fermenting and I feel terrible all the time. The problem is that my stomach lining is so irritated and HCL supplements and even C-vitamin causes my stomach to start cramping and burning, even small amounts.

I also have a severe candida infection and I can only control it with diflucan (fluconazole) 100 mg a day.
I know I would have to change my diet to protein and fat but thanks to my lack of stomach acid I get really nauseous and can't digest them properly.

I'm now taking digestive enzymes (digest Gold) and pancreatin (creon) but I stil feel terrible.
I'm still eating cooked foods because I'm scared of the bacterias when I dont have enough HCL to kill them.
Mostly fish and chicken, fruits, vegetables, rice, corn and buckwheat.  Can't digest dark meat at all.
Would it help to go completely raw?

Also the doctors have found that I have very high Calcitriol which indicates that I have a major inflammation somewhere in my body. They are suspecting Lyme disease. But I'm scared of taking antibiotics when I already have such severe candida AND I'm really underweight.

Has anyone had similar problems?
Any ideas what to do?

Thanks!!

Hi everyone.

Thanks to an inflammation in my intestines and pancreas I'm in really bad shape and underweight.
Everything I eat makes me nauseous and severly bloated (think I might have candida)
I have also got Histamine intolerance which is only getting worse and worse. I'm reacting to the smallest amount of histamines in food (fish, chicken, egg whites, avocadoes, nuts, fermented foods...) I'm also allergic to milk, gluten, soy, nightshades...

Now I have been eating cooked paleo with melons, mangoes, parsnips, sweet potatoes, swedes, carrots, rapeseed oil, and super fresh turkey but I still feel terribly, can't gain weight and super bloated.

My body is shouting out that it wants raw food and I believe that this could help me. Everytime I eat something raw it feels like it's not staying that long in my stomach and I get more energy.
My problem is what to eat because any dark meet (beef, lamb, elk...) gives me stomach ache and fish is so high histamine that I get breathing difficulties.
Could it be that my stomach is only not used to eating dark meat (haven't eaten dark meat in almost 7 years) or could it be an allergy when I'm allergic to milk?? Should I just start to eat small amounts of raw meat and ignore the stomach pain?

I love fish and really really hope I could cure my histamine intolerance. Has anyone cured it with raw foods?

I really hope someone out there can help me!!

Thanks for all your replies

A little more about me:
I'm 23 years old and have been ill almost my entire life due to mold in
my childhood home, so I have a defect immunsysteme.
These last years have been sooo terrible.
Autoimmune inflammation in intestines, pancreas and thyroid.
Candida, leaky gut, chronic fatigue. Severe allergies (milkprotein, beef, gluten, legumes, nuts, eggs, nightshade vegetables, bananas, avocados, ... the list is long) Lately I have also gotten Multiple chemical sensitivity and I react to perfumes, makeup, cleaning stuff...

Before I tried eating paleo, with this I could manage through high school but I had to take sooooo many pills like vitamins, enzymes, betaine Hcl. And I was always tired, cold, thirsty (even if I drank 4 liters), bloathed and had really bad constipation.

Now I'm really lost because I really want my health back. I started reading about raw food because thanks to my inflammation in my intestines,  I have been vomiting for almost 3 months and it's usually the cooked foods I try that come up.
I read 80/10/10 about low fat raw vegan and there are a lot of things that sounds good.
But my stomach is so complicated. I have to be soooo careful how much I eat, otherwise I start vomiting again.
On the other hand I have really bad cravings for sweet and especially sugar alcohols (xylitol, sorbitol... I know these make stomach problams worse but it almost feels like an "sugar alcohol addiction" I'm really trying to quit but it's hard)

I really wish I one day could get better. I'm still fighting but sometimes everything feels hopeless.
If you have any suggestions what diet would be best and what I could try I would be sooooo happy.
Thanks again

Hi everyone and thanks for all the tips.

I come from a high carb raw vegan diet and I'm in a really bad shape.
I like the taste of raw meat and have no problems eating it.
My biggest concern is the parasites, bacterias...
Can I seriously eat anything raw as long as it's fresh?
Even chicken, turkey and fish (have heard only grown salmon and tuna are safe)?
Should I freeze fish for example pike, perch, whitefish so I could eat it?
Does the meat always have to be fresh or could it sometimes be okay to eat prepacked meat?

My doctors said this is stupid for me because I'm really weak but it feels like the right way to go.
I will never go back to eating cooked food because it makes me really sick but I need the raw meat to feel better!

Hopefully someone can give me some more answers
