I suffered for 15 years. Effected every aspect of my life. Healed myself through many years of learning and reading, and trial and error. Much contradictory information on the web. ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS WHAT WORKED FOR ME. HERE IT IS:
LEAKY GUT PROTOCOL and FOODS
(6 pronged approach)
PROPER DIET - the “most” important
LINING - Aloe Vera capsules(empty stomach)
with L-Glutamine in water or Aloe
Juice (empty stomach)
Slippery Elm, Marshmallow Root,
Caprylic Acid, Citrus Peel increases
Collagen production, Collagen Gelatin
in beverage (chicory/coffee, etc..,),
Zinc Picolinate (this type easier on
stomach & use low dose 10-15mg
daily) (fungus eat zinc so if tolerated)
DIGESTION - Plant Enzymes eat away at
candida, Betaine Hcl Capsules
(help digestion and restores PH
balance in small intestines) and
Citrus Acid capsules (from
Lemons) (helps restores PH
balance in small intestines)
REPLENISH GOOD FLORA - Probiotics &
Prebiotics
PH Balance / Gut - Betaine Hcl, Apple Cider
Vinegar, PH balanced
water
ANTI-FUNGALS - Salt Vit C, Oregano, Garlic
Berberine HCL, Carylic Acid
(inhibits growth),
Undecylenic Acid with
Grapefruit Seed Extract,
NAC (breaks down biofilm)
Apple Cider Vinegar, etc...
IONOPHORES - Quercitin, EGCg (use with
antifungal/bacterial/viral herbs when doing
a candida cleanse/parasite cleanse/viral
infection cleanse along with above herbs)
HEATING PAD - on sites of herxheimer
reaction (20 - 30 minute intervals, avoid
infra-red heating pads - cancer risk)
** Candida tentacles weaken intestinal walls
** buy veggie capsules with plant based
magnesium stearate, etc... avoid silica if
possible or buy softgels without mag.
Stearate / Silica

FOODS (healing & maintenance)
MEVY: stands for Meat, Eggs, Vegetables and
Yogurt (but dairy yogurts may not work
for you so try coconut yogurt)
NUTS: Sprouted Almonds, Sprouted Pumpkin
seeds, Sprouted Flaxseeds, Sprouted
Chia Seeds, walnuts, cashews, washed
pistachios.
GRAINS: Rolled / Sprouted Organic Oats / Ragi
(super important to heal gut - try
with cinnamon and Xylitol and/or
vanilla extract, cook in coconut or
almond milk)
BREAD: Buckwheat or Sourdough(not toasted)
SWEETENERS: Stevia, Xylitol, Monk Fruit
Syrup
OILS: Olive, Coconut, Avocado
COFFEE: Chicory substitute (may do half
Chicory - half Coffee if tolerated)
(May do one or two cups of coffee

TOLERATED). Use Xylitol or monk
fruit syrup if you like it on sweet side.
Syrup: Monk Fruit Syrup
Butters: Ghee, Coconut Butter, Avocado Butter
VEGETABLES:
Leafy green vegetables – lettuce, spinach, silverbeet, endive, bok choy and other Chinese vegetables.
Root vegetables – carrots, beetroot (include leafy tops), potato, sweet potato, yams, celeriac, parsnip, radishes (including leafy tops), turnips. You should eat this food group with caution during the first month; I discovered that once we take away refined carbohydrates from a person’s diet (sugar, soda drinks, alcohol, ice cream, chocolate, commercial breads, etc.) that many they tend to eat plenty of the high starch root vegetables as a substitute. Too many starchy carbohydrates can be a substitute for sweet foods and encourage candida proliferation and even dysbiosis (bad bacteria).
Cruciferous vegetables – cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, mustard greens, broccoli.
Vine vegetables – cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkin varieties and squash. (Pumpkin and squash are high in starch and should be avoided during the first month).
Onion (allium) vegetables – shallots, spring onions, chives, red and brown onions and garlic.
Seeds: Flax seeds, rolled/sprouted pumpkin or
chia
Other vegetables – asparagus, celery, okra,
eggplant, string beans, red, green, yellow
and orange capsicums, seaweeds, kelp,
and sauerkraut.
Broccoli, Cauliflower, Onions,
Cabbage, Brussel Sprouts, Green Salads,
Asparagus, Celery, Okra, Sauerkraut,
Kelp, Lettuce, Spinach, Bok Choy, Endive,
Silverbeet, Mustard Greens, Cucumbers,
Zucchini, pumpkin varieties and squash.
(Pumpkin and squash are high in starch
and should be avoided during 1st month).
FLOURS: Millet, Almond, Coconut, Rice flour,
natural brown rice flakes (gluten free),
wholegrain brown rice, barley grass
powder, wheat grass powder or shots,
alfalfa grass powder, amaranth, rice
noodles, rye flakes, buckwheat, soba
(100% buckwheat) noodles, whole oat
flakes, wild rice. Brown and wild rice
are the best varieties, and white rice is
often a superior choice than wheat
products, especially Basmati rice.
Herbs: All
Spices: All
*If it’s not on the list don’t eat or use it UNTIL
gut is healed and avoid sugar and alcohol and dairy
until healed.
