Diatomaceous Earth
for
Digestive Health
There's always the question I get asked...Can you eat or drink that Diatomaceous Earth (DE) stuff, and are you sure it is safe and healthy?
Yes you can and yes I am sure. And I am excited to share with you the wonderful benefits of consuming DE.
Diatomaceous for your digestive health, is very beneficial. From relieving gas and indigestion, cleanse the colon, eliminate constipation and much more...
On another of my pages about DE being 80-90% silica, I made a list of some of those results, of which there are now additional ones we have continued to find.
If you are interested in the basic science of what DE is, the page link above will give you more of those details, but this page will focus on the digestive health benefits of DE
Some of Our Own Experiences of Using Diatomaceous Earth for Digestive Health
We have been taking/consuming DE since 2016 and have had only positive results or effects and outcomes.
Some of the most surprising and positive were the good changes in some of mine and my families' digestive issues.
It took care of and continues to take care of any situations of constipation in our family. I won't mention the specific family members due to, they might be a little upset with me, haha.
Below are just two of the major outcomes we have experienced from taking DE.
I share these with permission.
My granddaughter was having terrible stomach issues and problems. She was throwing up laying in bed in severe pain and crying from it.
It seemed everything she ate caused her agony. She went to the Dr. and was told to slow down and take antacids etc...
She did slow down, but still had stomach issues, she started taking DE regularly and gradually saw a change in her digestive system and she could eat without so many problems.
To this day she takes DE for her digestive health and is doing very well with all health issues, which are normal.
This is what she had to say about it:
I have had problems with my stomach for a while now, I am gluten and lactose intolerant and it got to where I couldn't sleep. In addition I would throw up almost daily.
But since I have been taking Diatomaceous Earth I have felt SO much better, and have not had stomach aches at all.
I sleep so much better and feel much more energized.
One of my daughters as an adult, was hospitalized with severe pain and was diagnosed with diverticulitis.
She was put on morphine drops in the hospital for almost a week and eventually sent home, with the strictest diet you could ever imagine.
She still struggled with pain, nausea, and diarrhea on a constant basis and had no energy and the symptoms continued on.
She lived at home at this time, so we worked hard at changing all our diets to healthier foods.
We did cut out bad foods such as (processed and fake foods full of sugar, synthetic ingredients and sugar/corn syrup).
Then for her we added extra nutritious food due to the diarrhea and losing nutrition because of it.
We cut out gluten and that helped some, as well.
Then she started taking DE regularly, she had taken it off and on before but not consistently.
Her diarrhea completely subsided and her pain became less and less. It is important for her to still eat healthy and wisely, but she is able to enjoy life again.
My daughter also said that she noticed other benefits as well.
Those benefits are things like her hair became healthier and nails harder and longer, she passed parasites, her skin became softer and smoother etc...
Our health results with Diatomaceous Earth :
- Skin (wrinkles diminished, smoother texture, softness, healthier, psoriasis cleared up! Soft smooth elbows for the first time as long as I can remember.
- Hair (thicker, grows faster, softer texture, looks healthier);
- Nails (stronger, quit peeling, pinker color);
- Teeth (gums are stronger and teeth feel smoother and healthier);
- Joints (specifically my knees and hands, no more aching and stronger-can literally run up stairs now, when previously could barely walk up them!)
- Anti-gas (anytime we have indigestion we take a little DE in liquid and gas clears up quickly, and sick stomachs clear up fast)
- Intestinal Cleanse (moves through the stomach and digestive tract, irregularity gone, anti-parasitic, it attracts and absorbs fungi, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, pesticides, E. coli, heavy metals and endotoxins.)
- Studies show it detoxes heavy metals from your body.
It took about 3 to 6 months to see all of the cumulative results of diatomaceous earth on our bodies. We were and still are amazed and pleased.
Originally we started taking a heaping teaspoon of DE stirred into orange juice.
The reason for mixing it in orange juice was due to several studies that determined that adding some form of vitamin C, would help the silica to assimilate more completely in your body.
I've also added it to some lemon water, with or without sweetener. It can also be added to smoothies. The ideas are endless.

I personally believe, that God in his infinite love and wisdom provided everything we need for both our physical and spiritual well being. He gave us his awesome creation for our sustenance and health, then made provision and hope for our eternal destiny . Click on the link if you would like to know more.
