Re: looking for advice...

Hi,
I would look at taking chromium supplements too, as cravings can often be abated by its levelling affects on the blood sugar.

If you do the candida diet, P&B Shakes, and a parasite cleanse, you should be OK. If you have a mild case you should not have leaky gut. However, alcoholism is a huge mitigating factor in leaky gut (for obvious reasons) so I wouldn't rule it out. Best way to tell is if you have any reactions to certain foods, gluten being top of most people's list, in that leaky gut causes intolerance to it.

Get a good mineral supplement, and eat foods that feed YOU, not your cravings or your candida. You will find the appropriate diet on this site. When you yr body's needs are met, your cravings should subside.

Regarding store bought candida stuff, I haven't found them particularly helpful as they are designed to keep you going back for more. Humaworm in the US do a good parasite cleanse, (curezone have an ask Humaworm forum where you can ask him about his products yourself), but you would have to check out reputable companies if you are over there for candida supplements. If you are in the UK, there is BioCare. THeir products are superb, available to practitioners and general sale, by mail order.



Hope this helps.
