In a recent conversation with a friend, I
heard about the terrible suffering of a mutual friend who has been in pain with
abdominal problems. After two years of going to a number of specialists and
taking handfuls of pills with no results she was told the diagnosis was wrong
and what she was suffering was Crohn's disease, or leaky gut.
This seems to be a common problem with
apparently no cure however, I followed my gut instinct and went to look into
how kefir could help her and I found that I wasn’t half wrong about the
benefits of good gut bacteria when it comes to chronic diseases particularly
Crohn's s disease. To quote a site on the topic, kefir has the necessary
strains of bacteria required to restore a leaky gut and more than just drinking
kefir, you can eat the grains for best results.
Probiotics are fundamental to good health and
the prevention of the lasting effects of illness. Kefir alone won’t help your
leaky gut without a thorough plan. I found the logic of the following 10 steps
more compelling than any others.
- Eliminate
inflammation - You have to stop eating all foods that cause inflammation, trigger
an allergic reaction or that you crave. Learn about healthier
alternatives. If you don’t do this
first, then the following steps will be ineffective.
- Treat likely
infections
- Candida - Use raw
or liposomal Colostrum
- Parasites - diatomaceous earth
- Unhealthy bacteria
- eat real kefir grains
- Fungal - high doses
of garlic extract with oder
- Alkalise
your gut - eat green leafy vegetables in abundance. Consume high doses of
Chlorella and juice green vegetables daily
- Increase
fibre - prebiotics feed the good bacteria delivered in the probiotics of
the kefir. Keeping your gut culture healthy and functioning is important.
Eat 40 - 50 g per day.
- Restructure
your diet to include food that supports these steps. It may help you to
follow a low histamine eating plan.
- Drink
Tumeric or Ginger in honey water ahead of meals with meat to help take the
pressure off your gut lining during digestion.
- Use
Glutamine on an empty stomach once or twice a day for a few days on and
then off again until you develop a routine that feels right.
- Replace your
bifidobacterium with a probiotic suppliment - as much as you can in high
doses.
- Drink kefir
daily. 40ml in the morning is good or soak your oats in milk kefir the
night before for a luxurious breakfast with seasonal fruit and seeds.
- When
symptoms are bad, fast for 3-5 days with only liquid nutrition. Try
juicing your favourite fruit and veg and add colostrum to help your gut
lining.
This may seem like a dramatic alteration to
life as you know it, but beating the odds against you will be satisfying and
you can enjoy the wellness you deserve as the ultimate goal.
If you want more liberating details about how
you can beat IBS, depression & anxiety or just live healthy with
probiotics, go to numeSA.co.za and get your live kefir grains,
milk or water kefir and much more from their online store
or from health outlets in Johannesburg, Pretoria and
Kwazulu Natal, South Africa.
