does your daughter still have the implants? Is her problem better ? I am

curious about the relatation to implants and allergies, I find this to be

very interesting.

Yes, she still has the saline implants but is facing

the ten-year suggested time of change with no

bucks to do it--as, unfortunately, many unknowing

or early implant recipients will.

Her original implants were Mentor silicone (Dow)

which she had changed at four years due to

red, sore joints (Mentor provided new implants)

UCLA did exchange and mastopexy; implants

were not ruptured but had compressed breast

tissue so thin that anterior capsule not removed. Had she not replaced with saline, she would have been

mastectomized at age 24--in the 70s and

early 80s, plastic surgeons were trained to

know thin skin and would not do an augmen-

tation if found (went with a "leader" in this field

who told me all about this)

Being very health conscious, her "wheat bread

only" started at about the same time as her

original implantation so objectively, the fact that

it worsened at this time may not be implants--

it may be that she had more exposure to the

allergen. Many of us know those with IBS who

have never had implants. And, her IBS stopped

completely.

Re allergies--she has always shown some mild

seasonal allergies, so finding there was a food

allergy was a surprise in the circumstances,

but not a shock. I believe this is a consideration

for anyone with allergies--and I think they may be

at the root of many problems, but their effects are

so subtle and widespread, as not to be suspected.

And It doesn't stretch my imagination a bit to

consider foods and Irritable Bowel Syndrome--now.

Might also mention that she started PMS with

the implant exchange and does a progesterone

cream schedule for it now; considering the

estrogencity of silicone and the menstrual histories of a large family of women, I believe

the silicone, whether encasing saline or gel,

is definitely the primary factor here.

A few weeks ago, I suggested group look into The Fungus Link, a book about the fungus we are getting thru our foods: white, enriched flour, noodles, rice, etc. It has amazed me. Obtainable by phone call to author, (Doug A. Kaufman, nutritionist. Telephone: 972-772-0990

Thank you for the info re the book on fungus!

I know the implants were not the cause of her IBS as she had that as a child.

It did worsen with implants, but she also started eating a lot more wheat at

that time. So, we really don't know. However, when she eliminated wheat,

her IBS totally resolved. And, as an added feature, she doesn't have to watch her weight anymore!

Re Stanford--just mentioned that they were one of the three dxs she had for IBS, and

who said it was going into ulcerative colitis-- the internist never mentioned a possible sensitivity of any kind.

I read this post and was wondering if you think that saline implants are not

the cause of her problems if you think they are adding to it because you

mentioned here that it got worse after her saline implants. If she never

gets rid of the implants how will you ever know if the problems she is

having will get better or not? I know it is hard but I can assure you that

after 17 months most all my problems have resolved.

As for Stanford, well lets just say I worked there and when it came time for

explant I still ended up flying to Ohio to see Dr Feng. Stanford has some

great MD's no doubt, but when it comes to implants, no one there had a clue.

Take care

what exactly is celiac disease?

Silicone increases the risk of celiac disease because yeast overgrowth of the gut which occurs in many women is often the precursor of celiac disease which is also known as gluten sensivitiy. I recommend dishon radishes and ginger tea to counteract the estrogen effect of silicone. .

Common symptoms are GI problems such as bloating and diarhea after wheat intake. Severe cases have weight loss and malabsorption problems. .
