<p>21 year old male. took way too many antibiotics when i was younger, for acne. started when i was 15, at the time i did not know any better but i slowly developed IBS, diarrhea with alternating constipation. i was like this for years, eating horrible food which just fed the cycle..</p> <p>i knew something had to be done because it was affecting my health in a major way. i had over 25 other symptoms, yes, 25. long story short, i had/have some type of massive fungal or bacterial infection, i guess the general umbrella term is called "candida". im seeing a nautropathic doctor and i recently got stool tested and am awaiting the results.</p> <p>currently i can not digest anything but protein sources and vegetables, i cant even have yams or i get constipated..</p> <p>my question though is, generally speaking, how long does one have to stick with it before digestive issues improve? </p> <p>also, its very depressing and difficult to basically get all your carb sources from vegetables. how long do you think i have to stick with this strict diet before i can incorporate yams again?</p>

<p>Look into the GAPS protocol, Paleo gut healing protocol or the Paleo autoimmune protocol.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/05/modifying-paleo-for-autoimmune.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.thepaleomom.com/2012/05/modifying-paleo-for-autoimmune.html</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.easypaleo.com/2012/04/15/my-gut-healing-protocol/" rel="nofollow">http://www.easypaleo.com/2012/04/15/my-gut-healing-protocol/</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.gaps.me/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gaps.me/</a></p> <p>Heal your gut, reduce inflammation.

<p>I keep coming up with things to offer, but Vern got the gist. Heal the gut.</p> <p>Maybe that's getting good probiotics, maybe even a brief bit of kefir to get the bacteria that colonizes your gut. Maybe as extreme as a fecal transplant, as much as that has a strong ick-factor, they are rising in popularity for its ability to restore gut microbiota to healthy.</p> <p>It might take a long while before a healed gut is ready for foods it doesn't tolerate right now. :(</p>
