I am a firm believer of enhancing the effectiveness of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet with the use of additional supplements. The goal of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet is to heal the intestines and digestive system by bringing it back into balance. This state of imbalance is known as Dysbiosis. Here is some information about it:
When the intestines contain the balance of good and bad bacteria that is optimal for good health, they are described as being in a state of symbiosis. Alternatively, dysbiosis (a contraction of the term “dys-symbiosis ”) occurs when this balance is upset. Dysbiosis can result from a deficiency of good bacteria or an overgrowth of harmful organisms. In either case, organisms that are not usually predominant in the intestines, such as unfriendly bacteria, yeast (Candida) and protozoa, actually induce disease by altering nutrition patterns in the body.
There are many supplements available which help to bring the digestive system back to a state of balance faster than just using the SCD alone. My “go to” supplements are:
1. Intestinew which heals any active ulcerations. It’s made from therapeutic doses of L-Glutamine which is an amino acid that heals the lining of the intestines. Usually, you just take this for about 30 days, then you’re all healed and done.
2. Fish oil which is a natural anti-inflammatory.
3. Liquid Acidophilus which helps to boost the good bacteria in the intestines. Acidophilus Pearls when traveling or for times when the liquid is not convenient or impractical.
4. Some sort of anti-yeast supplement which helps to kill off the bad yeasts and micro-organisms .
Candidastat is my favorite anti-yeast supplement as I’ve found it to be the most effective. However, Olive Leaf Extract is now running a close second. I had heard about it having beneficial effects on digestion and having anti-fungal properties, so I decided to give it a try. I’ve been taking it for the past few months and am just about done with the bottle. I usually take one or two at night before going to bed, washed down with some water.
Here is the information about the supplement:
