Greetings. Eric Bakker, the naturopath. Thank you for coming back. The question today is can candida die or candida cleanse? Can that improve my digestive health? Of course it can improve your digestive health. 

It's one of the big reasons people undertake these candida cleanses in the first place, but you need to be careful not to keep cleansing and cleansing and cleansing and cleansing and cleansing and cleansing and cleansing.

Some people cleanse that much. It's amazing they've got anything left to cleanse. What a crazy thing to do. Are you the kind of person who would vacuum their house three or four hours a day every single day for the rest of your life? 

How many people you think are going to come round and hang with you if you do that? Probably nobody except a psychiatrist, okay?

Same thing with the candida diet. Don't keep going on and on with cleanses all the time. It's not a great idea. You'd be surprised, I had a patient two weeks ago, 10 years on the candida diet. Ten years. It's like she's in jail. 

Come on, you don't need to do that. You can seriously improve your digestive health by making very small calculated changes in your diet over a prolonged period of time. It's a much, much safer idea.

To begin with, people always ask me, "What do I need to put into my diet?" It's not what you need to put into your diet. It's the crap you need to take out of your diet that makes the difference. 

Most people to some degree will eat a reasonably healthy diet, it's just the associated junk that they put into it needs throwing out, all right? That's what needs throwing out.

So, how are you going to notice improvements in your digestion with this kind of eating approach is your GI tract should become more silent. You shouldn't really be noticing much bloating or gas or discomfort in the abdominal region. You should have a flat tummy. You should be able to poop nice and easily. 

Bowel motion should be very easy, not strained. You shouldn't have to be going to the toilet multiple times in the day, a little bit coming out here and a little bit more there.

That's a big problem, a problem you don't need to have. So when you develop digestive problems, don't automatically make the assumption it is candida, but try and find the source of the problem. So I call the symptoms really the noise, and it's your job to find the signal that's creating the noise. 

When you do that double often it will help you by default to correct your diet and make changes, because most people create their own digestive problem purely through how they're eating.

Excuse me, how they're eating, how they're thinking, that's how they create their own problems. Digestive problems don't just drop into your lap. You wake up one day, you've got a problem. 

They develop over a period of time. It's like you don't catch a cold, okay? You're not running around with a net trying to actively catch colds. You develop a cold through some faulty way of living, which increases your vulnerability.

Your susceptibility goes up. Your resistance goes down, you get sick, and it's the same with a GI problem. Something caused the GI problem, so by making the digestive ... 

If you want to improve the digestive health, you generally want to make a change to the digestive system. You will do that by changing the type of foods that you eat and changing your lifestyle around eating those foods. That will really create a great result for you no doubt.
              
You imagine people in jail. I mean, how would their digestive system be with the constant stress that they're under? It would be terrible, wouldn't it? So if you want to improve your digestive health, try and first work out whether you've got candida or not. 

Again, your doctor or naturopath should be able to help you here. He or she should have some understanding on GI dysfunction and be able to work out based on the symptoms what kind of dietary changes that really need to be made in your circumstance to really affect a great change in your health. So to answer the question, can candida cleanse improve digestion, big time. Thanks for the question.
