Naturopath diagnosed me summer 2010 with leaky gut, systemic yeast, gut bacterial dysbiosis, heavy metals toxicity, a parasite, stressed adrenals, food allergies. He gave me Cipro antibiotic and Diflucan then a powdered drink by Metagenics for LGS. Ab pain worsened so I stopped. Pls help - 911!! Nexium is not working. I am fighting for my 7 year old daughter.

Sonia, it would be interesting to hear what your diet is like. As they say you are what you eat. Do you eat many processed foods/ soft drinks?
When you take antibiotics you need to take lots of probiotics (make sure they are good quality), fermented foods etc. To get the good bacteria back into the gut. ACV would help as well.
For heavy metal toxicity, I would try to supplement with either sea vegetables (kelp, kombu, wakame etc. ) and/or iodine. Iodine will also help your acid reflux and candida/ yeast problems and adrenal problems. There is a link to an excellent ebook on iodine (if you scroll down or look under the iodine section). A deficiency will cause many disease symptoms.
Vitamin C is also good for metal toxicity, as is cilantro (corriander) which is a herb.
Coconut oil would also benefit you as it is antifungal and antibacteria. Unrefined organic.
Your body would also benefit from taking spirulina and chlorella as well and green smoothies.

Sonia, leaky gut, systemic yeast, heavy metal toxicity, parasites, stressed adrenals... Please read the Book by Dr. Brownstein on iodine deficiency. All your symptoms can be helped by iodine in your diet. Lugols iodine is very safe to take...
Nexium will decrease your stomach acid ... Acid reflux is caused by low stomach acid so you are making the problem worse. From what I have been reading Iodine will regulate your stomach acid as well as help all the above.. Please do some research on this website under remedies and iodine, and read the book I mentioned above on iodine.
