Help- Gluten/casein Free Intravenous Feeding


neerdowell

Recommended Posts

neerdowell Rookie

my father and mother are finally willing to consider altering their diet due to multiple swallowing, digestive, inflammatory issues after my father had his stomach punctured while the doctor was attempting to dilate his esophagus just this weekend.

i'm wondering if it is possible to have him begin a gluten/casein free trial while still in the hospital to potentially speed the healing from both the puncture and the repair surgery. they are in el paso, tx and could use a physician referral of someone who is conscious of food intolerances. thanks in advance for any advice whatsoever.

Wow...I think you're over most of our heads with this kind of urgent medical intervention.

What I've observed is that without doctor's orders, it is nearly impossible to get a special diet. So the key would probably be to locate a doctor that would listen and help....does their insurance cover a natural doctor, or could you maybe contact someone elsewhere on celiac.com to find a doctor. There is a section that talks about doctors and suggests which ones are good with gluten free, maybe that could help...or you could contact the insurance company. Sometimes insurance companies will make referralls for specific types of doctors....

Wish I could help....feef for you anyway. Good luck.

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
