Healing the Gut - Homemade Probiotics, Candida, Poopology 101

[LNN]

I came across this site today and thought it was timely, given recent discussions on probiotics, yeast and gut health

There are tons of blogs here on diet, treating candida, making your own probiotics, how to interpret gut health from studying stools...lots of good stuff. The one thing I caution is that some of these posts are a few years old - long before 23andMe could tell anyone whether certain things were "good" or "bad" for them. One post raves about epsom salt baths and how they are a "must" for everyone. But if you have a CBS mutation, it's actually more of a "must avoid" as my DD can tell you, after emerging from baths I insisted would be helpful, her skin red and itchy from an OD of sulfur (oh, their therapists will have so much to talk about when they're grown).

 

But in general, I found this to be a pretty realistic place - with more than one blogger acknowledging that not everything listed as a recommendation would be practical for every person. Worth checking out.
