Need Some Help

I don't know how many of u read my post from below about my discoveries, but I want to try help my Esophagitis (Candida of the esophagus) as much as I can on my own since i'm sure that erosion/damage has gotten worse after 9 months w/o treatment.

I did research online so I am trying to drink through a straw (which does make sense) and it is a lot easier to swallow when drinking that way.

I just need any other suggestions from anyone else w/Esophagitis b/c I can't follow the diet or I'd eat nothing at all. My total food avoidance list is already gluten, dairy, meat, vegggies, fats, spicy...I basically live on the rice bread/pasta and lettuce/cucumbers b/c that's now the only thing that helps me sort of maintain all 3 diets. But the Candida diet would add to that no rice/carbs, and to EAT meat. :(

I'm going home for a week so I think I may try find out how to meet w/a dietician (if we still have one at home). If i have to miss a day of school it will be for good reason, at least..

Lisa,

I'm a vegetarian with candida and celiac (self diagnosed) and detoxing heavy metals. I can have brown rice and be okay. Stick to the whole grain and the yeast will have a hard time getting to it with all the other stuff in there (fiber). I don't understand why you don't eat veggies? That makes no sense? Can't swallow? Blend them up. Have a baked potato with sugar free salsa. I also have gluten free whole wheat oats and tolerate them fine. I also have a lot of beans and cook them long and rinse them to get rid of the oligosaccharides that give us gas. I posted my recipes on this site for those interested. Eggs once and a great while that are fed flax seeds... omega 3. I had trouble with chicken eggs where they were fed corn!!! Terrible head spinning.

I hope this helps a bit.

ML

Veggies make me very sick, except as I mentioned lettuce and cucumbers. I'm on a Crohn's/IBD diet, if that helps to explain. I'm also on a gallbladder diet.

Lisa if you check out the 'other intolerances' there is a lot on candida. I would not advise you to try and cut out any more in your diet without consulting a dietian or nutritionist. You are very restricted as it is and your nutritional levels need to be kept up. Your present diet is very deficient if all you are eating is white carbs and the two veggies you listed. You should really think of consulting someone with a strong background in medicine and nutrition for some guidance, and then follow their reccomendations.

Yeah like i said when I go home i'm going to get a referral to a dietician. Because its just too much. In the last 3 weeks now theres only 2 days where I ate more than one meal, mostly i eat something light once a day like rice, and often its not even enough to call it a meal. Its crazy, but i just don't get hungry!! What i eat is just forcing myself because I know a person cant go without food.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
