it sounds like you have gut dysbiosis. possibly candida overgrowth, parasites, too much bad bacteria, too many toxins, h pylori, low stomach acid, poor bile, clogged liver. you could have several or all of these, and even more because they are all interrelated. here are some subjects you might want to research.

GAPS diet - works to rebalance the body, gapsdiet.com (start with the introduction diet and work your way up) the FAQ on her website will tell you a lot, and there is a food list. No fruit, honey, nuts for a while. This program has had a lot of success with even the most severe cases of dysbiosis (austistic children). It slowly detoxifies the body and starves out bad bacteria. There is a book for under $30, but i don't think the book is necessary, as it is mostly for parents of autistic children.

Food grade diatomaceous earth - this is recommended on the GAPS program. It scrapes the GI and helps detoxify it. 2 tbl daily is sufficient, can be taken all in the AM, with a glass of water, or 1 tbl AM and PM. Make sure it is FOOD GRADE or it can hurt/kill you. Amazon is a good place to purchase.

Saccharomyces boulardii - introduce this slowly. If you come to realize you have a very bad case of candida, you might need a course of antifungals first. 2 or 3 Activated charcoal capsules, taken far away from food/meds, will help with die-off. It can be severe. S boulardii is a non-pathogenic yeast that is stronger than the pathogenic candida albicans, and they compete for space in the GI.

Kombucha - this contains saccharomyces boulardii. This can also help detoxify the liver. You can drink this and even eat some of the baby scoby daily, to get s boulardii, vs buying s boulardii in pill form.

Kefir - make your own at home, rather than waste money on probiotics. This will give you a huge dose for a fraction of the cost. Plus healthy yeasts too (but not s boulardii). Start very slow with this too. I like water kefir since I can't have milk. But you can make all kinds. Really any kind of fermented food is good to eat. Just be ready for die-off. I got a high fever from drinking too much early on. But now i can drink 10x that amount and have no issue. You can purchase both kefir grains and a kombucha scoby from Amazon and make your own.

Read as much as you can - you can go back a decade or more on curezone and read old posts. Start slow and plan on it taking a while to see real improvement. Don't eat any Sugar and junk. Only meats, veggies, and good fats - olive oil and avocadoes are awesome -for a while. The diet on this page, http://www.knowthecause.com/index.php/get-started
is a good template if you don't want to do GAPS. Don't take Antibiotics . That's what did me in. If money is tight, don't buy too many supplements other than some below - most don't do that much. A great way to get supplements is to put herbs on your salads. Spend your money on high-quality food. Make gigantic salads with all kinds of veggies.

Supplements to consider -

Molybdenum (amino acid chelate) - helps with die-off ( btwn 250mg and 750mg) - this is good when killing candida as it detoxifies aldehydes which are toxic to the liver; *necessary for candida killing early on

Milk thistle - helps detoxify the liver
Activated charcoal - helps with die-off (take in middle of night is best when gut is empty for several hours or more) possibly sucks up serotonin in gut so be careful with taking too often

Betaine hcl - 1 or 2 650mg capsules with each meal for a while - made from beets, mimics stomach acid

Quercetin with bromelain - may help if you have any allergies

Cayenne pepper - add this to everything - tastes great and helps your body produce gastric juices, and will help rebuild GI, push out bad stuff, etc. Frontier Naturals is a good brand as they don't irradiate their herbs which kills its good properties

Concentrace Liquid Mineral drops - 40 to 80 drops day/helps with constipation, plus other body functions; might not be necessary if you are absorbing minerals from food, which the betaine would help with

Good luck!
