[B857]Breaking The Vicious Cycle Intestinal Health Through Diet

by Farrell Seah, Far

There is probably no more contentious issue relating to digestive disorders than candida. Candida albicans is the scientific term for a common yeast, or single-celled fungus, which is found everywhere on earth and in everyone who lives here. They are normal inhabitants of the skin, gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts.

They can be very helpful in digestion, in the synthesis of vitamins, and in the prevention of infections. Candida albicans become a problem only when they get out of balance with other intestinal flora.

Candida Related Complex (CRC) is the condition which - many practitioners claim, but others dispute- occurs when, due to dietary factors, hormonal changes and drug therapy among other things, candida albicans grows wild but does not cross into the bloodstream. Instead it supposedly causes inflammation of the bowel lining and produces toxins that can be absorbed back into the bloodstream.

The theory is that these toxins can trigger food sensitivities, and combined with the inflammation can cause symptoms of IBS, as well as rectal itching, a white furry tongue, headaches, asthma, chronic fungal infections of the skin and nails, chronic vaginal discharge or vaginitis (thrush), increased pre-menstrual symptoms depression, and more.

The first thing you should do is to see a doctor to eliminate more serious problems. The important thing is to get some informed guidance about how to treat your symptoms. If CRC is suspected, they'll probably suggest that you go on an ?anti-candida diet.?

This generally involves cutting out sugars, including ?natural? sugars like fruits and fruit juices, honey and alcohol. In addition to being encouraged to stay away from sugars, you'll be steered clear of foods containing high levels of yeast, such as breads with yeast, mushrooms, cheese etc., as well as anything containing antibiotics, like many meats.

Candida albicans is in epidemic proportions in our society today due to the long-term use of antibiotics and the poor quality of food we consume.

Although studies elaborate on the ability of bovine colostrum to inhibit the growth of candida albicans, it is probably due to an indirect action rather than an actual effect on the Candida albicans itself.

Bovine Colostrum works to heal the lining of the intestinal tract, sealing abnormal holes that cause a whole cascade of events known as ?leaky gut syndrome.? When a leaky gut is healed, it becomes much less susceptible to Candida overgrowth and to a whole compliment of difficulties that might result.

However, once candida albicans has become rooted in the lining of the intestinal tract, it is very difficult to control. Use of colostrum can lessen the symptoms and help heal the lining of the intestines, but since candida albicans is such a huge problem and since so many individuals have it in fungal form, modifications in diet, along with the use of other supplements, are usually necessary to control the problem.

Recommendations

1. Take Bovine Colostrum. Growth factors in colostrum stimulate the rapid healing and regrowth of damaged intestinal lining to stop further penetration of foreign bodies.

2. Take some type of fiber daily. Oat bran or flax seed is a good source.

3. Take supplemental acidophilus to help to restore the normal balance of flora in the bowel and vagina.

Certainly stress can make an ulcer worse, but the bacterium is the root of th problem. Around 30 percent of us have Helicobacter pylori living in the mucous lining of our stomachs, but most of us don't have the symptoms. Of the 30 percent infected, around 10 percent of those will develop an ulcer in the stomach.

7 Symptoms of a peptic ulcer can be:

-Abdominal pain, classically epigastric with severity relating to mealtimes (duodenal ulcers are classically relieved by food, while gastric ulcers are exacerbated by it);

-Bloating and abdominal fullness

-Waterbrash (bitter regurgitation)

-Nausea, and sometimes vomiting

-Loss of appetite and weight loss

-Hematemesis (vomiting of blood)

-Melena (tarry, foul-smelling feces due to oxidized iron from hemoglobin)

Rarely, an ulcer can lead to a gastric or duodenal perforation. This is extremely painful and requires immediate surgery.

One way to treat ulcers is to get rid of the H. pylori bacteria. Treatment may also be aimed at lowering the amount of acid that your stomach makes, neutralizing the acid and protecting the injured area so it can heal. It's also very important to stop doing things, such as smoking and drinking alcohol, that damage the lining of your digestive tract.

Helicobacter pylori peptic ulcers are treated with drugs that kill the bacteria, reduce stomach acid, and protect the stomach lining. Antibiotics are used to kill the bacteria. Two types of acid-suppressing drugs might be used: H2 blockers and proton pump inhibitors.

Growth Factors in colostrum help the immune system to function properly and heal the gut and protect the gut from disease. Colostrum stimulates the growth of new blood vessels and contributes to tissue development and wound healing. The platelet-derived growth in colostrum will be involved in the healing of vascular wounds. It is released in conjunction with blood clotting during the healing process.

In addition, the trypsin inhibitors and other protease inhibitors prevent the ulcer Helicobacter pylori, from attaching to the walls of the stomach. In this way, they are instrumental in the healing of peptic ulcers.
