Shawneric- I'm trying to get a fix on what you are sharing...I really am. It's all about helping ourselves and others get well. Not about being right, at least for me. Perhaps for people who "are" helped by following a particular protocol/diet/program that is "not" determined or supported to be helpful for IBS patients, then maybe they don't have what you qualify as IBS. Perhaps there are many people on the boards here who have been told, or have "self-diagnosed" themselves to have IBS, when realy they don't have it at all, at least according to the definition that experts have given to IBS. If there are, then they may be helped by following an antifungal treatment(which is not costly at all, by the way). And, rightly so, if this is an IBS board, then perhaps this conversation of candida and treatment would best be discussed in the "living room" where non-IBS issues are explored.
If you could clarify something I heard on one of the videos you posted just to make sure I understand it correctly... I heard some of the doctors say that bacterial flora, mucosal inflammation, changes in the mucosal barrier which could allow bacteria through the wall into the gut, gene mutations are things that can play a role in IBS, among other things. Is this recent speculation?
