PS: I should mention, I have been colon cleansing since July with Psyllium and Cascara Sagrada, and have definitely cleaned out a lot of junk, and am still seeing plaque in my bowel movements... especially more so the past few weeks, as it may appear I'm finally getting into the deep down stuff.
As far as a leaky gut protocol? I don't want to touch that really until I know that I've stabilized on the Valium as much as I can... and then start a smart (1-5% taper, every few weeks, or as long as it takes) taper.
Can one completely starve out a yeast overgrowth and then allow the healthy bacteria to repopulate simply by getting out all of the excess build-up in the intestines?
So many questions; so wish I felt better. :) All I can really do now is be patient, keep my mind on others, and pray that this improves.
