Die-Off (Herxheimer) Reactions: Candida, SIBO, SIFO, and Dysbiosis 

I experienced Herxheimer/die-off reaction! This video is so informative. Your delivery is so easy to comprehend. Thank you!

OX BILE /MONOLAURIN/ A FEW OTHERS, WITH FOOD, THEN 1-2 HOURS LATER TAKING CHARCOAL HAS BEEN A MIRACLE FROM GOD FOR ME AFTER Y EARS OF UNABLE TO KILL DUE TO DIE OFF!!!! NOT TAKING IT MORNING AND NIGHT BUT 1-2 HORUS AFTER FOOD, AS SOON AS HEADACHE BRAIN FOG STARTS!!!!!!!

The brain fog is the worst😢

3 months later.. any update ?

Fasting? That contributed hugely to my gallstones and removal of my gallbladder (at age 45, NO risk factors).

You should test first before you self diagnose, it could be alot of things

Itchy anus? That sounds like a parasite? What’s your stool look like?

How are you feeling now?

This is happening to me right now! How is it going for you? Any updates?

@rosaday9041 My rash had gone away. But then came back again. I'm legit just starting to feel better. I've been having some nasty looking bowel movements. My guess would be Candida leaving my intestinal tract. This time around my skin rash wasn't as bad as the first time, but I had a really bad headache for 2 days and started to feel better the 3rd day. I probably still have at least another month of being on the candida diet. I miss dairy. I'm not allergic to dairy. I only drink raw dairy products, but I'm still abstaining.

​@@Bigelite094 how is it going so far friend?

OH! That's a great idea. Thank you so much! Sometimes I get sucked into my nerd vortex just a little too much and I forget to cover the bases. I'll make that video soon :)

@@gutmicrobiomequeen I like the science I’m half dead from M- Sibo I was prescribed Cipro for it before I realized it will kill Anthrax but doesn’t do 💩 in the small intestine. Is this thread still active? Great vid

I agree. I got to the end of the video and asked myself, did she ever explain what die off symptoms are or did I just miss it (am easily distracted haha)

Homemade Kiefer is very strong probiotic, I learned the same lesson

Same here. Started drinking homemade kombucha and high potency yogurt (fermented 36hrs) two weeks ago, now I’m having horrible break out and rash.

Enemas are amazing. The thing about enemas is you have to do it over and over until you have a great release. If you've never had one your missing out. There is definitely stuff in you that needs to come out. Maybe you already have had great releases but by your comment it sounds like you haven't. My brother said enemas didn't do him well and I know it's because he didn't do it over and over. It's an amazing feeling when you get that good release. Your stomach feels so empty and clean. I hope you try it out

Thank you Richard! If you'd consider sharing this video to any FB groups you're in, I sure would appreciate it :)

If you have psoriasis, like I do, I recently found out about taking black currant seed oil from Dr. Eric Berg in May 2023. I have been taking 600mg 3 times daily (in divided doses throughout the day). So far, that has been working really well and is nearly gone. You should look up Dr. Eric Berg's video on black currant seed oil as being one of the best psoriasis remedies.

How are you feeling now any updates?

Have you studied about oxalates -kale, almonds, chocolate etc.?

Hmmmm I'm not so sure of that. What I see most frequently is flu-like symptoms (aches, pain, headache, fatigue) and possibly a flare of existing GI symptoms. When I hear only GI symptoms I'm more inclined to think that the product you are taking isn't correct.

@@gutmicrobiomequeen Your Sibo video explained it all. I think I have a better understanding of what's going on. I've began taking ginger more than once a day. Adding potassium and magnesium more and my constipation is like almost gone. The bloating is there, but less frequent. My biggest issue now is my throat. Probably due to acid reflux, but I won't go back on PPI. I just feel a tightness in my throat sometimes and this white coating I've described before that is in my throat and mouth I can brush it away and after say a cup of coffee the white coating is back. Really annoying.. So that makes me think is it mucus? Is it candida? Ugh life's struggles

@@rmt74358 hard to say without sampling directly. It could be either. You could do a test like the OAT to evaluate for total fungal burden and then hypothesize the location if it is found. Or you can treat empirically for yeast and watch to see how it responds. If it doesn't respond to natural antifungal treatment I would start to think less that it is yeast and lean more on the mucus theory. It could also be white blood cells- look up the condition Eosinophilic Esophagitus (EOE) and see if that feels familiar.

@@gutmicrobiomequeen after looking it up what you told me here is what I know. The OAT test or organic acid test, if that is what you meant is something they want to with me at the doctors. I can't get it done until I have covid 19 test done first. Which I can't do just yet because if I turn out positive then my gf can't work and we lose money, kids won't have enough. We could use EDD, but they have been pretty shady in the past. My SSI won't help in California for the family size we have. Once I can do these test I will. I have tried natural treatments with herbs and some foods that are antifungal. It has helped, but it's temporary. I tried the medication that you swish in your mom it also worked, but it left me with severe constipation that only magnesium citrate could cure. As for the Eosinophilic Esophagitis that does seem familiar. When I was on PPI the acid wasn't removed it got worse and I struggled with sleep. Symptoms have gone down a ton. As long as I'm off sugar of any kind and no dairy or strong caffeine I'm 100% OK, but who lives like that. I've enjoyed coffee though I don't need much and I've switched to mostly decaf. I'm looking to dry soy milk I think it's a good alternative, but no sugar. I understand the dangers of sugar, but every now and then it's nice to have a treat ya know.

@@rmt74358 its candidate definitely

2 months later.. how are you now ?

@@johnnytsunami3558 lost 40lb cut out gluten dairy have chicken feet bone broth for the last 2 weeks healing the gut lining now lol wish u health n happiness have a nice peaceful day!

Herxing usually presents as flu-like symptoms (headache, fatigue, brainfog, aches and pains, feeling "blah," and occasionally a fever) vs your condition worsening which would be an exacerbation of your current symptoms. Hope that helps!

hi what happened?.. also happening to me but different symptoms.

I make l reuteri and kefir for my Sibo

I'm certain this exists

That's just die off reactions from changing diet

So you have soft stool all the time?

not really, just normal stool@@therealsugarking

Yes

I'm so glad you found it helpful!! Enjoy that ginger tea and feel better soon!

@@gutmicrobiomequeen thank you. Last night was brutal. :-( Two quick questions... Any recommendations about the timing for taking the activated charcoal? E.g., with a meal, spaced apart from supplements, before bed, etc. I am currently taking D3+K2, Zinc, Vitamin C, COQ10, a liquid probiotic, electrolytes (product is called 40,000 volts), and Endocalyx (which is mostly glucosamine). I added in a turmeric capsule today. Also, is it safe to take Ibuprofen for the back pain? I try not to take any manmade meds anymore, even over-the-counter remedies, but staying awake until 4am with searing back pain from Herxheimer reaction is no fun either.

@@outoftheherd have you checked Oxalates?. Sally Norton. I had back pain and other issues. I quit plants and herbs turmeric because it's high Oxalates. About 3 months my pain started decreased. 2 years later no pain. I'm also carnivore now. I'm watching this because I'm losing weight and having issues. Charcoal and benadryl. Taking nadas will effect your colon for 3 weeks blocks Dao just one table.

​@@gutmicrobiomequeendo you have any parasite protocols I've noticed that no doctors in the United States treat them except for holistic doctors and chiropractors. Thank you

I haven't been able to find a doctor to even listen to me just say that's toilet paper idk it they don't want to admit they know nothing about parasites or whatever I took ivermectin for three days and have been gross detox bathing and I'm listening to sound frequency at the same time it's a slow process but u gotta do what u do thank u universe and u ladies

Do u buy on Amazon?

@@calvocobos I like brands like Swanson, Zazzee , Carlyle - I get them on Ebay. ;)

Check out Medical Medium 🙏🏼 his protocols are helping so many people worldwide. 💙

You need the GAPS protocol diet. Start with bone broth only. Work your way over time up to predigested meats meaning roasted meats. Here is a blurb from A.i. The GAPS diet is a diet that is designed to heal the gut and improve overall health. It was created by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride, a medical doctor who specializes in autism and other neurological conditions. The diet is based on the idea that many chronic health conditions are caused by a leaky gut, which is a condition where the lining of the gut is damaged and allows toxins and bacteria to leak into the bloodstream. The GAPS diet aims to heal the gut by eliminating foods that are difficult to digest and replacing them with nutrient-dense foods that are easy to digest. The GAPS diet is divided into three phases: Introduction phase: This phase lasts for 2-4 weeks and is designed to help the body detoxify and heal the gut. During this phase, people eat a very limited diet that consists of bone broth, fermented foods, and certain vegetables. Building phase: This phase lasts for 4-6 months and is designed to rebuild the gut lining and restore gut function. During this phase, people slowly start to reintroduce foods that were eliminated in the introduction phase. Full GAPS diet: This phase is the maintenance phase of the diet and can last for years. During this phase, people can eat a wide variety of healthy foods, including meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. The GAPS diet is a very restrictive diet and can be difficult to follow. It is important to talk to your doctor before starting the diet, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. Here are some of the foods that are allowed on the GAPS diet: Bone broth Fermented foods (such as kefir, yogurt, sauerkraut, and kimchi) Vegetables (except for nightshades, such as tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant) Fruits (except for citrus fruits) Meat (including grass-fed beef, lamb, and pork) Fish Eggs Nuts Seeds Healthy fats (such as olive oil, coconut oil, and ghee) Here are some of the foods that are not allowed on the GAPS diet: Grains Legumes Sugar Processed foods Dairy products (except for ghee) Caffeinated beverages Alcohol Nightshades Citrus fruits The GAPS diet has been shown to be effective in healing the gut and improving overall health. However, it is important to note that the diet is very restrictive and can be difficult to follow. It is important to talk to your doctor before starting the diet, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

Hello, How are you doing?

I agree with other poster. Look up the GAPS diet. Also, you can try fasting.

What's the time your wife would consume activated charcoal? & how many times, can you be specific with numbers of times & time itself?

@vilrugan She used 560mg after 8pm, (2 hours after eating) and then didn't eat until the next morning. As a general rule, we only use charcoal 2+ hours before or after eating. I have used it myself and it did help the severity of my headache.

@@daitilus7343 Thanks for the info, as of now I am suffering from a bad die-off whenever I take anti-bacterial herbs like Garlic, Ginger-Tumeric combo; few hours later symptoms like cloudy & blurred vision would follow up with a small amount of chills & confusion. I will try coal.

I'm so glad, James 🥰

You made my day :)

How are you feeling now

any updates?

Sounds like a histamine intolerance possibly

How are you now?

You gave up too soon. You shoukd have pushed through, the symptoms go away. What you experienced was the bad bacteria dying off creating all these symptoms. You want to kill off the bad guys!

I dont think hcl has a die off Dont you think maybe its because you have enough stomach acid?

Symptoms? Update

Yes, probably! If you take them close together. But the instructions for charcoal always say to take on an empty stomach, preferably 2-3 hours away from any food, so if you use it as directed you'll be fine. (I usually have people take it at night before bed for this reason)

Sulfur.....Google msm.

@@TheHerbinLegendcan you elaborate? What are the benefits for Sibo?

Same at the moment. Can you explain your journey update? Please and thank you😊

I had Lyme disease myself (years ago), but I'm not adequately trained in its treatment and can't really offer advice there. For mold/mycotoxin stuff, the things that seem most helpful are: - Getting away from the mold (moving or remediation) - Glutathione (which I just posted a video on! 😀 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-05gEmNqC7RM.html) - Sweating (ex. Sauna) - Time Also! We have a whole episode on mold on the IBS Freedom Podcast 😊 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PThBHL51wOE.html

That’s how I feel lately I’m over it

@@karla62192 you’re most likely having the same reactions as me lol
