Guest guest Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Thanks Helene. > > So what DO you eat? > > Some days all I have is a couple of egg drinks. They seem to be my staple. When my stomach does empty, within a few minutes I start to get this pain in my left back - not quite a pain - more like someone is digging their knuckles into my back. > > I am wondering if that may be my pancreas struggling to output digestive enzymes - I am already diabetic and have gradually lost my insulin output, so maybe my pancreas is struggling anyway. Whilst I have had digestive issues for years and it has been particularly bad the last three years, I have never experienced anything like this, so perhaps Bee is right and I ought to go back to the Doc's. > > They have been so useless up to now that I have all but given up on them. I tell them I have this issue in my side/back and all I seem to get is shrugged shoulders! I waited 6 months just for an ultrasound (which didn't show anything anyway - and apparently should have only taken 4 weeks for the appointment!) and nothing was picked up on a Barium swallow (I had to wait for another 5 months for!), so I am pretty fed up with the Medical Profession. By the time they manage to get to the bottom of anything you are either better or dead! > > Ali. > > > > > > > > Hi Ali and Members, > > > > > > I just wanted to share a couple of things with you since my digestion is still not very good after being 17 months on Bee's diet: I still can't have broccoli, onions, garlic, leeks, cinnamon, and chicken among other things because they create a lot of reactions. So I just eat them occasionally. I also get reactions with eggs, butter, ghee, fish, and other foods, but I keep eating them since they are nutrient-dense and not plant foods. Maybe people with a poor digestion such as yours would fare better on the all meat and fat diet? Or at least you could eliminate the plant foods that bother you. Sometimes I also suspect that I am not absorbing everything I eat since there are days when I binge and binge as if I didn't get all my nutrients. > > > I share your concerns about not healing the way I should, but I know that I am still healing in spite of digestive issues since I have had retracing episodes, my period has come back etc...I hope it is the same for you. > > > > > > Best wishes, Helene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
