Re: Leaky Gut Syndrome

Hi Sylviag ; I understand that people choose medications when they've reached the state of an extreme imbalance, such as bacterial overgrowth, whereby they use antibiotics. I also understand that some people get some relief from the use of ppi's for gerd, etc. But the side effects of these meds. need to be understood and compensated. PPI's lower stomach acid, which makes nutrients such as B12 unavailable. Antibiotics will destroy friendly as well as unfriendly bacteria. Its good that you continue to replace nutrients and probiotics for this. I still am of the opinion that some extra B12 in an easily absorbable form will help much of the inflammation that you are suffering. I again suggest that you add a sublingual lozenge of methylcobalamin, methyl-B12 to your regimen. Try 1000 mcg. daily for 6 mnths. Give it a google. I often use "B12 deficiency and (insert condition)". If there are too many of these.... dots, then I realize that I've pushed it too far. I also sometimes add the term "case reports" to my searches. A lot of medical jargon is used, so I keep a small medical dictionary at hand. I also use terms such as nutrients for.... , or natural treatments for.... etc. Of course, even with all of this information, in all, we must find what works with our own systems. Best to you and yours...

Hi Sylviag; Although treating Candida with B vitamins is controversial, as pathogens of many types have a great desire to grow , they will use negative growth stimulants, (sugar), and positive growth stimulants, such as B12 and Folate. However, B vitamins in good proportion have also helped to " maintain candida in its non-invasive form. " B12, B6, Folate, and Biotin have been emphasized for this. I suggest a low dose B-complex with the addition of B12 sublingual lozenges (methylcobalamin). They are available in 1000 mcg. Tablets, but can be divided to a lower amount if that is more suitable. Oral symptoms of B12 deficiency include : perioral dermatitis, burning mouth, burning tongue, cracked, dry peeling lips, angular chelitis, oral candidiasis, canker sores, etc. Additionally, B12 can stop that nagging incontinence in given time.
