Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 My sister has Leaky Gut Syndrome and/or Irritiable Bowel Syndrome. I know both of these are related to a candida overgrowth. She is going to perform a series of colonics to clean out her colon and intestines. What I want to find out is what herbs are good to heal and repair the intestinal tract. Can anyone shed some light on this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 First of all a colonic will not help candida. It in fact may make it worse. Leaky gut syndrome is not caused by a candida overgrowth, it is usually caused by allergic reactions to food such as dairy and wheat. Other allerngens that may cause your sisters' problem are soy, corn, chocolate and eggs. It can also be caused by a lack of high fiber foods in the diet. If your sister is eating a lot of white refined flour, this may be one of the problems. White flour is like glue in the intestines. It slows down the transit time and can cause inflammation in the intestines. Who ever is telling your sister to do a colonic does not know what they are talking about. Diet is the primary cause and will be the way to rectify your sisters' problem. There are a few herbs that will help. Enteric coated peppermint will stop the spasms. MSM will help to stop the leaky gut. However it will only work if the diet is changed. Hope this helps, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I have done a lot of research on this and a candida overgrowth can be one cause of leaky gut. She also has symptoms of IBS and has bad asthma also cause of a systematic yeast infection. http://www.filadog.com/candida_albicans.htm bigmuddie2001 [bigmuddie2001] Friday, September 10, 2004 2:16 PM herbal remedies Herbal Remedies - Re: Healing Herbs for digestive tract First of all a colonic will not help candida.
