Re: bed

 In terms of healing the gut, u have two extremes:

The GAPS/SCD diets which are very heavy in fats and animal proteins, very low in fiber, veggies, and fruits. The thought is that dissacharides cause gut issues and that fats (up to 80% of the diet) and meat heal the gut. (sorry, but all my research shows that high meat/fat consumption leads to gastroparesis, heart issues, cholesterol issues, colon cancer, etc)

or

Dr Klein and Dr Graham, who promote a whole foods, natural diet, low in fats:http://www.colitis-crohns.com/
The success rate is extremely high. The theory here is that the fungus/GI issues were not caused by fruit sugar, it was caused by cooked starchy and fatty foods which decompose and breed the fungus/mold/candida. This diet helps to clean out the pathogens and restore gut functioning and health.

How does someone know what to do? I'm tired of taking craploads of supplements and I want to focus on healthy eating and natural healing!

It is like I have been saying all along, all of these strict diets have their drawbacks.  And as we can see they contradict each other.  If people want to be healthy they should be avoid all strict diets and stick to a simple balanced diet.  Otherwise they are just going to end up with more health issues in the long run as they create other imbalances.  For example, we all know that blueberries are healthy.  So should we form a diet that consists of nothing but blueberries?  Of course not, that would be stupid.  We need a balanced diet to allow our body to get nutrients missing from one source from another source.  And we need foods that reduce inflammation to counter the foods that cause inflammation, etc, etc, etc.  

Another way to look at it is ever hear the term dosage makes the poison?  Point is that anything can be harmful in excess.  If you go on an all protein diet you risk increased inflammation and the diseases that go along with it as well as risking the health of your kidneys and liver.  Go on an all carbohydrate diet and you may increase your weight, Candida growth (depending on the carbohydrate), increase the risk of diabetes (again depending on the carbohydrate), etc.  Go on a high fat diet and you can increase your caloric intake tremendously as well as increase your intake of heavy metals and increasing inflammation depending on the source of fats.  Small, balanced amounts of good proteins, carbohydrates and fats though help the body to get what it needs without creating imbalances in the body or overloading the body with toxins or increasing inflammation.  Call it the Hveragerthi Diet if you wish.
