Question by Rebecca: I became sensitive, not allergic, to eggs as an adult, can it be cured?
I am sensitive to digesting eggs, but I don’t have an allergic reaction, like hives or trouble breathing when I eat them. It gives me cramps, etc. I became sensitive to them about a year ago. I also found out I was was gluten intolerant as well. Does anyone know of a cure for that kind of sensitivity? Do you think detoxing or probiotics would work?

There are some enzyme capsules you can buy, they help with the break down of food. But really the only way to avoid these symptoms is to avoid the food. You may be able to slowly introduce these foods back into your diet.

Question by Strifelok: can probiotics cure yeast infection?

Best answer:

Answer by Matt
Potentially, I’m not a doctor but in theory they can. Probiotics introduces more competition in the intestinal tract which takes away from other microbes being more prominent. Note though that this solution takes a lot of time and will not always be successful.

An anti-fungal would be speedier although they’re not the best for your body.

Question by jonny fix-it: how do i treat chronic oral thrush?
I’ve tried probiotics. Clotrimazole tablets (prescribed by the doctor), and even tried heavily restrictive dieting (restricting myself from carbs and sugars of any kind). The doctor has taken blood work, and said that he sees no sign of immune diseases. I do not have diabetes or family history of diabetes.

The doctor just shrugs about it, and orders me more oral medication… The drugs and the dieting help, but they are very inconvenient and temporary solutions.

How do I get this Candida (the yeast that causes thrush) back under control, so it balances itself out?

Basically the reason you have a yeast infection is because there’s an imbalance in your body. A healthy person has a balance between the yeast in their body and the good bacteria in their body.

Too much yeast, you have a yeast infection. Too much bacteria, you have a bacterial infection.

So, when you have a yeast infection you essentially have too much yeast in your body relative to the good bacteria. The natural way to treat it and bring back that balance is to starve the yeast and introduce more good bacteria into your body.

Oh and BTW – That’s why you often get relief from using the over the counter meds temporarily, and then the yeast infection comes back. The creams aren’t changing the source of the problem. They are just killing the yeast they come in contact with, and not balancing the yeast/bacteria in your body and actually sometimes end up making things a lot worse.

Oh BTW2 – That’s also why many times you’ll get a yeast infection after using antibiotics. Antibiotics kill all the bacteria in your body, the good and the bad. When that happens the balance between the yeast and good bacteria is off, and once again and you get a yeast infection.

Things you can add to your diet (to help promote good bacteria) are live yogurt cultures (or take Acidophilus), plenty of water, fresh vegetables, lots of protein rich foods, whey protein, raw garlic, nuts, seeds, oils, millet, rice and oat brans

Things you should remove from your diet (to starve the yeast) are all sodas, sugars, fruit, fermented foods, foods containing white flour, alcohol (especially beer), antacids and any product that has yeast or mold

Changing your diet will definitely get you on the road to balancing the yeast and good bacteria, but what I would also recommend is to use a homeopathic solution to help naturally speed up the process.

I always feel if there’s a natural way to do something, then it’s best to avoid the chemicals. I would look for an natural product, that can be taken orally to promote re-growth of the good bacteria in your body.

There are a few out there, I think they are probably all pretty good. One that I have used and was very effective for me was is yeastrol.
Best of Luck!

Hope this helps and best of luck! :)
