Candida Diet, Cleanse & Recipes by Eric Bakker N.D.

What Can I Eat If I Have Celiac Disease Is It Possible To Heal Celiac Disease Or Control It

by

Now, next question we got from a subscriber who has celiac disease. Eric what do I eat? I’ve got celiac disease. Is it possible to heal my celiacs? What can I do to control my celiacs? Well, I retired in November last year. I’m too old for practice really now. And I’ve seen many celiacs over the years. After 34 years, I saw a lot of celiac patients. And not only did I see them, I actually diagnosed several of them. Now, how would I diagnose a celiac patient?

Well, you can spot a non-diagnosed celiac, pretty easy. They look wasted away. Some of them look like they’ve come out of a concentration camp. That you could literally see the bones, and skinny. And it surprises me how many I’ve seen several that weren’t even properly tested for celiac disease. They didn’t have the biopsy, right? The doctor just assumed that they had some gut problem. It sounds almost sick and twisted, but it’s true. I’ve seen cases like that where they weren’t tested for celiacs. They were put on antidepressants. They were put on all kinds of junk, but they were not properly, really thoroughly researched to see what was wrong with it.

So now we know better but back in the ’80s and ’90s, it was still a bit sort of the Wild West as far as celiacs was concerned. Now celiacs is a rare disease, okay. It’s less than 2%, I think. It’s a very, very, very small portion of people who’ve got this. So what is celiacs disease? Well, it’s an autoimmune disease where your body actually can’t handle any kind of form of gluten at all. The gluten actually will slowly start destroying the small intestine. And by the time the person’s in their 30s, they could literally die if they haven’t been diagnosed properly.

I’ve picked up people mainly when they were quite young. I saw it very early on. I remember one boy who was five or six, who had been to the doctor multiple times, put on antibiotics. They thought he had bowel infections, but he was a celiac. So when I carefully went over the diet with the mother, it was quite obvious now that this boy had celiac. You could see it by the way he was eating and the presentation. And then we did stool testing and a lot more things became apparent then. We sent him off to a special pediatrician. He got tested, and celiac. And then you can definitely notice the weight coming on there when the gluten was taken out.

But I’ll tell you guys, too many people are jumping on the no gluten bandwagon. I’ve seen so many people take gluten out of their diet, every tiny little piece of it, because they thought it was going to cause them a problem. In most cases, it doesn’t cause you a problem, okay? Unless you’re eating ridiculous of gluten in your diet, you’re going to get a problem. It all depends on the state of your digestive system. If you’ve got a very good gut like me, you can handle gluten, you can handle meat, you can handle the occasional soda. You can handle a lot of stuff, right? But you can’t pepper the body with 10 slices of bread a day and expect not to pay the price. Any different that you can’t expect to have 10 beers a day, or 10 spinach sundaes, or whatever you guys drink out there, or three kale shakes every morning. There was some guy recently in the media, some sports star who stuffed his kidneys up. I think he was drinking spinach drinks every morning, and he got oxalates. So he got kidney stones. I mean, common sense is not common, right?

Now, what was the question again? Celiac. So if you are a celiac and you’re being diagnosed as celiac, okay, there’s no doubt you can’t have gluten. It’s a non-brainer. But can you have rolled oats? Yes, you can. I’ve been telling people with celiacs for 20 plus years that rolled oats is fine, and I’ve been shot in the foot for it so many times. But now I’m finally starting to see on the internet they’re saying that moderate amounts of rolled oats is fine for a celiac, providing the rolled oats hasn’t been contaminated. So what do I mean by contaminated?

Related articles:

Oats don’t have gluten guys, okay. Oats can contain gluten if they’ve been packaged with machinery where wheat came in before. That’s where the contamination occurs. But there are manufacturers who only work with oats and not with gluten containing grains. So then it will be a non … You’ve got a non-gluten grain there, which is oats. I love rolled oats. I think it’s one of the best foods you can have in the morning, especially winter time. So do some more research if you’re celiac.

The question is, can you heal the gut? You can. Can you reverse celiacs? You can’t. What you can do is you can just keep working on the diet more and more, and refine that diet. And then if you have quite intelligent, if you really want to get an outstanding gut, you do stool testing. Why would you do stool testing if you’re celiac? Well you want to see what your microbiome, what the bacteria are doing in there, okay. You want to know if you’ve got overgrowths.

If you’ve got too much Klebsiella, for example, a starch loving bacteria. Have you got too much Klebsiella? Let’s look at the balance of Klebsiella versus other bacteria. Have you got enough beneficial bacteria? Are yeast starting to come up? Have you got candida issues in the gut? So if you start working slowly and fixing that up before it becomes a major problem, you find your health will get better and better and better, and celiacs will be no problem for you anymore, because you’re avoiding gluten anyway. But what you’ve done now is you’ve taken your bacterial gut balance to the next level. You’ve improved it.

It’s a bit like an old geezer like me, a 60 year old geezer, okay. We’ll say 60 year old motorcar is really working on that car slowly over a period of time, rebuilding the engine and doing the chassis, the bodywork and an old thing can still function perfectly well if it’s maintained. So that’s the point I’m trying to make. You’ve got to maintain the gut. And you maintain the gut by correct ways of living, by correct ways of eating, but eating properly, eating regularly, and good food regularly.

There’s no secrets here. It’s common flipping sense, it really is. So even a celiac can dig themselves out of the hole further and further until they’re literally on top of the hole, okay. Likewise, a celiac can get a bigger shovel if they want and dig a hole so deep, they can never get out again. Especially if they don’t look after their gut health. I’ve seen some tragic cases of celiac. One celiac patient passed away, I had, not that long ago in fact, because he didn’t really understand how he had to extremely be tough with gluten on himself. So he’d occasionally eat sandwiches. And this is a single guy, and it was a sad case. Yeah. So this is where the emotions really came in and messed everything up. But you can avoid all that misery by not just avoiding gluten, by regularly assessing the bowel, and the stool, and the gut comfort and working on refining that, taking it to a higher level. There’s no reason why a celiac can’t have a totally normal, perfectly normal life.

But the issue with a lot of celiacs in the old days, not so much now is they weren’t picked up until the person was up into their teens. And then they had a lot of developmental delay issues, and that’s really bad. Because if the small bowel isn’t working properly, and it’s not working for all those years, it’s going to really affect how that person develops and grows, and turns into an adult, and it’s sad. And I hate to see things like that.

So what to eat if you’re celiacs. You can eat everything, basically. Meat, potatoes, vegetables, you just need to watch the gluten containing foods. The fantastic thing for true celiacs today … And a lot of you guys out there will think you’re celiac, but you’re actually not diagnosed a celiac, okay. Some people believe they’ve got celiacs, but they’re not because gluten plays up on them. Well, gluten can play up on anyone’s gut. You don’t have to be a celiac for gluten to play up on you, right? Does it make you gluten intolerant? Yes, it may. But it also means that you need to get your A into G. I’m not going to translate that.

You need to get yourself together and get your diet sorted, okay. Because then you don’t … And not just your diet sorted properly, but as I said, do that stool assessment to see what’s messing up your gut, fix it, and you’ll find that you generally, you can have small amounts of gluten without an issue. I still can’t buy this theory from Fasano that even the tiniest amount of gluten will destroy the gut and wreck it permanently. I just can’t buy that. I’ve seen too many people for too long eat small amounts of gluten and live to very long, ripe ages in many countries. So sorry, can’t buy it. Anymore I can’t buy the theory that tomatoes are going to kill you because of the lectins and all this junk kind of stuff.

How Do I Get My Kids To STOP Eating So Much Sugar

by

All right, I’ve got a couple of people who’ve asked me this question now over a period of time. Here is another lady, “Can I have some tips for a parent who wants to feed less sugar to their child?” Easy, easy, easy way. There’s a hard way and there’s the easy way. It all depends on how you parent, of course. Should you buy sugar? Should you keep sugar in the house? Why would you have sugar in the house? Do you do baking? What’s it for? What purpose does it serve? You can always put the sugar away.

There’s two approaches I’ve got here. If your children are having a lot of sugar at this point, and you want to stop that, you could lessen that right away and slowly take it down. Don’t just stop overnight. It doesn’t usually work doing that. Going cold turkey with a child is not really a good idea when it comes to sugar. You can get lots of behavioral problems, but you can with any kind of food that you stop.

You may have heard me talk about the case a while ago, if you’ve been following my channel, about a lady who brought this child in and was extremely irate. It was a boy. Man, was he bossy. I mean, he was just about ready to throw punches at me and this is like, I think, a six year old, a seven year old, a really, really irate child. I can immediately see that we had a big behavioral problem here.

When I drilled down into it, you’re not going to believe it, it was shocking, but the lady was giving the kid a pound of cheese a day. She’s just cutting off slices and slices, and every time the kid would scream for more, she’d keep giving more. That’s not really a good way to parent, isn’t it? Not a good way.

If your kid kept screaming for your handgun, would you give it your handgun? Probably not. Well, a handgun is not like a block of cheese, but I think you get my point. Drawing the hard line doesn’t usually work. Being nice to your child and offering them substitutes for sweets and making a big fuss over it is a clever way to do it.

One way to get children off sweets is by putting them into fruit. Take them grocery shopping and show them the different fruits available and see what they like. Watch their facial expressions. They might like cherries, or they might like grapes, or they might like something else. When you get a child onto fruit, they won’t want sugar anymore because they’ve got their substitute. It’s right there.

“Oh, but I can’t afford grapes. I can’t afford this kind of stuff.” You can afford it because if you don’t afford it, you’ll be affording their dental bills. You won’t like that, will you? Look after these children’s digestive systems, and their mouths, and immune systems by taking refined sugars out of the diet as much as you can, including breakfast cereals, snack bars, candy, sodas, shakes, all that kind of crappy stuff that children really shouldn’t have. Look, nothing wrong for a child to have that at a birthday party, but children don’t have birthday parties every single day of the year. Every now and then, it’s nice to have your cake and eat it too, but you can’t have it all the time.

My partner and I have got different friends. We’ve got one friend who’s got several children that are obese. The sad thing is, the children are brought up on basically peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread, lots of sodas. If you go to the refrigerator, there’s always large bottles of fizzy drinks in the fridge. That’s what they drink day and night, just sodas. Now, her 26 year old boy has got type II diabetes. She’s had another boy in epileptic fits. It’s sad, and they got rotten teeth, but she’s a wonderful mother.

Unfortunately, she hasn’t got the funding to really look after these six children by herself, so the children end up on the short end of the stick. They get basically whatever she can give them. It’s lower socioeconomic. It’s sad. I’ve tried to educate her in showing her that if she cooks, it can be quite inexpensive to look at the brown rice and vegetables. But of course, it’s too late now because seeing these guys are all grown up, they know what they want. They want sweet stuff, and they’ll probably have that until they pass away. The sooner you get into the habit with children of getting them away from large amounts of sweet stuff, the better. You can do it with fruit.

Fruit works usually quite well, especially if you eat the fruit. You can’t be sitting in there with a Mars Bar in your mouth giving a child an apple. That doesn’t usually work, go down to well, does it? You’re not getting the apple thrown at your head until you drop the Mars Bar, so just be careful. You set the example by what you eat and what you drink, and the children pick up on that, all right?

I’ve always encouraged my four children to eat healthy and they do now. I think, many of them, most of them go to the gym and exercise. They eat really good food. They don’t drink or smoke. It’s all because of how we’ve been as parents, we’ve tried to. Well, we have glasses of wine, but we’re not alcoholics. We have junk food, but we don’t have bags of chips every single day of the week. There is nothing wrong with treats, but it’s what you do every single day that counts.

The important thing is to always encourage the children to eat good food by setting the example yourself, because you want the best for your kids. You’ll do that by encouraging them with your behaviors. I think you get that point.

There’s lots of nice treats. Take them to the shop and let them have a look. Then pick up the pack and see how much sugar is in it. You’ll be shocked. Over 70% of foods in supermarkets contain sugar. That’s why I don’t like buying a lot of stuff at the supermarket apart from toilet paper maybe and soap, and the rest I get from elsewhere if I need it. The fruit is the big one. That’s my starting point. I quite like that idea.

You can also make little fruit leathers up. You can do all sorts of stuff yourself. There are recipes online for different granolas you can make and muesli bars, all that contain maple syrup in small amounts, nuts and seeds, and things like that. If you’re prepared to buy those or make those, it’s far superior than offering just sugary snacks all the time.

Candida And Weight Gain: A Primer

by

Can Candida cause weight gain?

It absolutely can, and I’ve dealt with this with patients now for many many years.

There are several ways in which Candida can cause weight gain.

The first way is a stressed-out immune system or adrenal stress. The results is sugar cravings and making inappropriate decisions about diet and lifestyle due to high levels of circulating cortisol. A high sugar diet can contribute to non-alcoholic fatty liver, which slows the metabolism and increases body weight.

Cortisol puts us in survival mode. Survival mode means craving for high energy foods like fat and sugar. It also means a slowing down of our metabolism.

Unfortunately, Candida can be a source of stress, and stress can facilitate the growth of Candida. It’s a vicious cycle.

The second way that Candida can cause weight gain is that it leaves people feeling very tired. When you’re fatigued, it’s hard to engage in the physical activity that will keep your weight in the right range for you. Lack of physical activity will slow your metabolism down, which will encourage even further weight gain.

Thirdly, the toxins produced by Candida can contribute to weight gain. Candida can produce up to a hundred different types of toxins. These toxins can reduce liver function and induce mental, emotional, and physical fatigue.

Candida toxins are an important part of a slowed metabolism.

Fourthly, Candida is often accompanied by other gut problems like an absence of beneficial bacteria and too many harmful bacteria. That type of gut dysbiosis is associated with obesity.

If you don’t’ want to have a weight problem, make the choices that keep your liver healthy. Eat fresh vegetables, low sugar fruits (e.g., avocados, berries), and lean proteins. All of these foods support liver function and help keep your body weight in check.

CanXida: A Great Product Line for Detoxification

by

Is doing a detox good if you have a Candida problem?

Detoxification is a cornerstone for the eradication not just of Candida, but many different types of bugs or pathogens that could potentially inhabit your gut.

Don’t just think of Candida when it comes to cleansing. I’ve written extensively about this in my book, Candida Crusher.

There are many, many videos you can see about detox on this Candida Crusher YouTube channel. You can also read a lot more on yeastinfection.org.

Remember. Detox is fundamental toward getting you to the stage where you’re going to eradicate a Candida problem finally.

You’ve got to clean out the rubbish. I like people to do the big clean up initially.The big clean up involves you being very careful and doing a pantry overhaul. Throwing out all the crap, the junk, out of your house.

When you make lifestyle changes, which I really like you to do, you’re going to lower your desire for these foods because you’re going to live a more stress-free life.

You’re going to sleep more.

You’ll have more energy.

When you feel good, you make the right decisions in your life.

When you feel terrible, you’re going to make the wrong decisions.

And that usually means drinking alcohol and eating takeaway foods and all the kind of junk that contribute to toxins in the body.

You don’t need to do a very complicated detoxification regime with Candida, but usually, we do detox in two or three phases.

Related articles:

Never make very rapid changes in your diet. Lots of people make that mistake.

Don’t make big diet changes because your digestive system is not used to such a rapid transformation. Induce changes slowly over two, three, four-week period.

The more unbalanced your life is, and the more you want to become balanced, the slower the change has to occur because it will be more likely to be a permanent change.

Take it easy. You’ve got plenty of time.

If we look at detoxification initially, we could look at different types of fibers, psyllium, slippery elm.

There are different protein drinks you can drink with fibers in them.

Some people like to have vegetable drinks. These flush the colon out.

Some people use bentonite clay. Other people are going to use magnesium oxide or vitamin C powder. This gives you a bowel flush.

Then you might want to follow up with CanXida Remove, which I’ve created, an antimicrobial, to clean out parasites, bacteria, toxins, and crap like that living in the gut.

That could be again a week or two.

Then you’re going to be looking at a probiotic like CanXida Restore to rebuild that gut, to stimulate property enzyme production, to allow the production of beneficial bacteria.

You can also incorporate over time a bit of Swedish bitters into your diet, which stimulates toxic bile secretion and clean the liver and dump toxins into the digestive system that you can excrete. That’s aided by skin brushing and having showers, stimulating the skin, having saunas.

I think saunas are fantastic to stimulate diaphoresis or sweating because the skin is the largest organ. It’s a great way to get toxins out of the body. Exercise will do that, too, induce sweating and toxin release.

Breathing properly is a great way to remove toxins from the body.

If you have heavy metals through a hair analysis or maybe a urine proficiency test, you may want to do a heavy metal cleanse.

Detoxification forms a fantastic pathway for rebuilding your health from the ground up, and it’s an excellent precursor to beginning the Candida Crusher program.

Is Vagisil Any Good For Candida

by

Is Vagisil any good for candida? So Vagisil, the cream that women often use, some guys are known to use it, but it contains a small percentage of an anesthetic, likely benzocaine, I think it is in there. And there’s also an antiseptic kind of agent in there. Just a couple of percent, just trying to read the name on that, Resorcinol, or not Veritrol, but something quite tricky like that. A compound that’s made and it’s the same compound that’s used in Clearasil, in fact, in acne treatment. So it makes you wonder why you’d use it, sort of there and there kind of thing. So, a lot of people claim to get good effects with it. I really don’t think it’s the right way to go for a yeast infection, a vaginal yeast infection.

Further readings:

It pays really to try and find out where the causes are coming from, rather than just applying bandaids all the time to treat the symptoms. It will work symptomatically, but it’s going to do nothing for the cause. And that’s the thing. So you can get a very successful vaginal yeast infection treatment, not necessarily by using these sort of products, but by looking more at your diet and at your lifestyle and also the clothing you wear and many other factors. So please check out the playlists on Living Yeast infections on this channel, because there’s extensive amount of videos I’ve made on vaginal yeast infections on how to fix them up. So, they can be fixed up within three to six months in most cases. The really, really bad ones can take eight months to one year and we’re talking thrush or vaginal yeast infection cases that have gone on for 10, 20 years with these sort of creams, can be cleared up in 12 months.

I’ve never seen a case yet that can’t be cleared up, but I’ve met many people who don’t think they can clear it up and keep resorting back to these kind of products like Vagisil. Which you don’t really need, right? You may want to use them sort of symptomatically, if you’re traveling or something, but you’re far better off ditching this sort of stuff and looking at a natural way to get rid of this problem, 100% once and for all, by looking for the causes and you’ll find them.
