Re: Cleansing

Hi Blackfoot,

I've read a few of your posts and understand that you are experiencing problems consistent with leaky gut syndrome. This can be caused by candida, parasites, ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease...do any of these apply to you. A leaky gut can also make these conditions worse or create additional problems.

A complete cleansing program is in order, but you will also have to take steps to heal the intestinal mucosa so that the leaks are sealed. Candida and/or parasites must be addressed and a thorough Colon Cleanse is essential. L-glutamine is an amino acid that is found in abundance in the GI tract and is necessary for healing it. Several herbs such as slippery elm, cranesbill, marshmallow, aloe juice (not cape aloes which is the green part), and deglycyrrhizinated licorice (DGL) are all soothing and healing to the gut. ReNew makes a product called IntestiNew which contains several of these ingredients.

Digestive enzymes are essential when leaky gut is present because many symptoms are the result of undigested food particles making their way through the leaks and creating an inflammatory response. The more you can do to help your digestion the fewer reactions you will have and the quicker you will heal.

A fast may give your digestive system a rest and help reduce inflammation. However, if candida is present The Master Cleanse should not be used because the maple syrup...or any sugars...feed the yeast and cause more problems. Fasting is also not recommended if you have any nutritional deficiencies.

If you post with more details regarding what symptoms you are experiencing and what you have already tried to address them I may be able to help you further Tweet
