Request for info about pouchitis

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

I am meeting with a client this week who has an ileal pouch (and has had it for

several years). Recently this pouch has become inflamed and she was diagnosed

with pouchitis. Aside from the medication she is on for this, she has asked

whether or not there are any nutritional recommendations that can help prevent

this condition from occurring again. Any thoughts out there?

Thanks in advance,

The probiotic VSL 3 has been beneficial with pouchitis. They have very good

information on this on their web site. It requires a prescription.

ginger, slippery elm powder or marshmallow root, omega 3 fatty acids and GLA

would be a couple ideas. sweet potatoes are very healing as well.

From my blogspot: gingerjens.blogspot.com

The glycocalyx is a free form matrix made up of a jelly like mixture of

starches, fluid, ions and other goo. Jello is an well known example of a free

form matrix made up of starches and fluid. The glycocalyx jelly layer may act

like glue between cells or like sealant coating the interior and exterior of

pipes in plumbing repair. It protects our surfaces around cells and the lining

of blood vessels and organs. The stickiness allows cellular interactions to

take place more easily between white blood cells and protein receptors found in

cell membranes. Imagine trying to build a garden hose out of lettuce leaves and

strawberry jam - that is kind of how a blood vessel is made.

The faster current in blood vessels can flow on while white blood cells can

pause and perform tasks safely sticking in the slower goo of the glycocalyx

layer. It reminds me of the muddy bottom of river beds where minnows hide and

frogs lay eggs. The glycolipids and glycoproteins may be long and branching

like sea-weed and algae and the fibrous mixture may be like a net, slowing down

and trapping things flowing by in the blood stream or in other vessels like

airways and the digestive track.

Our intestines are miles long and wide open to every passing food particle

unless our cells are replaced regularly and are well coated with the glycocalyx

layer. The digestive track has the shortest lived cells in the body. They are

replaced every seven days on average – that is a lot of miles of cells for

our

white blood cells to patrol in order to identify the decaying ones and provide

them a quick death by apoptosis.

Apoptosis is nature’s control over pre-cancerous, decaying cells. Well

nourished white blood cells can recognize the old or infected cells, give them

a little enzyme blast of death and then engulf the waste material, resulting in

no inflammation or discomfort to us. It happens every day. Apoptosis requires

the white blood cell to have nutrient building blocks for all the chemical

steps in the process, and the white blood cell membrane has to join with the

other cell membrane temporarily probably occurring within the glycocalyx layer.

The intestines also need plenty of fiber from our diets to build and rebuild

the jelly layer coating its surfaces. Animal foods do not offer any fiber for

building this protective layer and a diet high in meat and dairy and refined

grains can leave the body more open to allergens and infection. Fiber is found

in all plant foods and whole grains. A fiber pill or fortified food is unlikely

to meet our need for a variety of different starches. Vine ripened produce has

a higher content of some of the essential types of starches then produce that

is picked early and forced to ripen with plant hormones. Frozen and canned

vegetables are picked at peak ripeness and then processed rapidly and may

provide more nutrients then some " fresh " produce.

Carrots, apples, pears, pre-ripened peaches and nectarines, berries, cherries,

sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, peas, green beans, other beans, nuts, seeds,

guava, turnips, mushrooms, corn, leeks, dark greens, fenugreek, aloe vera,

slippery elm powder, marshmallow root, cinnamon, turmeric, horseradish and

ginger are a few super starch foods but there are lots more. Broth made with

bones provides glucosamine which is important for the synovial fluid

(glycocalyx) in the joints between our bones. Supplemental glucosamine is

usually extracted from shells of crustaceans and can be a risk to people with

an allergy to seafood. Glucosamine derived from cornstarch has been developed

and hopefully will make it into healthier foods for me and you soon.

Be careful with the glucosamine. Recent research found that it destroys beta

cells and increases the risk of diabetes.

I never used the combo supplements - chondroitin absoprtion was a problem I

think. Glucosamine is a building block. The pain relief occurs after a few weeks

of taking it. Adequate hydration would be crucial for reduced joint pain. If

studies didn't control for individual's hydration habits, then results might be

confounded by those participants. I have always noticed its benefit more when I

have run out for a month. My joints get creakier and achier and I think, oh, I

forgot to buy more glucosamine. It is a building block and would need all of the

other building blocks. Supplement studies annoy me because how can we expect any

'one' thing to help our complex physiology. I have been sensing a media

suppression of alternatives that work because they threaten the big money

pharmaceutical industry.

Food is what our bodies need. Glucosamine in our diet most traditionally would

come from rich healthy beef and chicken stocks. I just don't cook that way very

often and a pill is easy.

" Taking glucosamine does not adversely affect blood sugar control in diabetics,

according to a report in Archives of Internal Medicine (2003;163:1587–90).

This

study confirms the results of a previous report and should allay the concern

voiced by some scientists that glucosamine has the potential to increase blood

sugar levels.

While glucosamine is generally considered to be safe and has not been

associated with any serious side effects, preliminary studies in animals

suggest that it could cause insulin resistance and other abnormalities of blood

sugar metabolism. The relevance of these studies to humans has been questioned,

however, since glucosamine was administered in the animal studies in relatively

large amounts by continuous intravenous infusion.

In the new study, a group of elderly people with type 2 (adult onset) diabetes

were randomly assigned to receive either a placebo or the combination of

glucosamine hydrochloride (1,500 mg per day) and chondroitin sulfate (1,200 mg

per day) for 90 days. Chondroitin sulfate is another natural substance that is

sometimes used in combination with glucosamine to treat osteoarthritis.

Chondroitin sulfate has not been found to affect blood sugar levels. A

laboratory test that assesses long-term blood-glucose control (hemoglobin A1c)

was performed at the beginning and the end of the study. Compared with the

placebo, glucosamine-chondroitin treatment had no significant effect on

hemoglobin A1c levels. None of the participants required a change in their

diabetes medication during the study.

The absence of any effect on blood sugar control is consistent with the

results of a previous study of nondiabetics. In that study, supplementing with

1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate per day for three years was associated with a

slight decrease in blood sugar levels. Taken together, these studies strongly

suggest that people with diabetes can safely take glucosamine, and that

supplementing with this natural osteoarthritis remedy does not increase the

risk of developing diabetes. "

from - http://bastyrcenter.org/content/view/759/

" Some preliminary research had suggested that glucosamine might worsen insulin

resistance, which can contribute to increases in blood sugar in people with

type 2 diabetes. However, subsequent studies refute these findings. While

glucosamine doesn't appear to affect blood sugar levels, talk with your doctor

about potential interactions with other medications you might be taking —

such

as warfarin (Coumadin), a blood thinner. " from -

Glucosamine and Chondroitin Fare No Better Than Placebo in Slowing Cartilage

Loss From Knee Osteoarthritis

The dietary supplements glucosamine and chondroitin do not appear to be

effective in slowing structural damage (loss of joint-cushioning cartilage)

from knee osteoarthritis (OA), according to a study reported in the journal

Arthritis and Rheumatism. The 2-year study was an ancillary component of the

Glucosamine/chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial (GAIT). The GAIT research

was sponsored by NCCAM and the National Institute of Arthritis and

Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS).

The ancillary study enrolled 572 GAIT participants who had moderate or severe

knee OA. Researchers randomly assigned participants to receive one of five

treatments for 24 months: glucosamine (500 mg three times daily), chondroitin

sulfate (400 mg three times daily), glucosamine and chondroitin combined (same

doses), celecoxib (Celebrex, 200 mg once daily), or placebo. The study's

primary outcome measure was mean change in joint space width, as determined by

x-ray, at 24 months. The final sample included 357 subjects with OA in one or

both knees; a total of 581 knees qualified for analysis.

Compared with placebo, neither glucosamine, chondroitin, nor combination

treatment achieved a statistically significant, clinically important difference

in loss of joint space width. There was some improvement for participants with

moderate OA who took glucosamine alone, but not enough to warrant any

conclusions. The researchers observed that loss of joint space width was

greater with combined treatment than with either treatment alone, which raises

the possibility that combined use may interfere with absorption. Loss of

cartilage in the placebo group was less than expected, which complicated

interpretation of study findings.

An earlier, larger GAIT study found that glucosamine and chondroitin generally

were no more effective than placebo in relieving knee OA pain over 24 weeks,

although a subset of participants (those with moderate-to-severe pain) did

benefit from combined treatment.

* Sawitzke AD, Shi H, Finco MF, et al. The effect of glucosamine and/or

chondroitin sulfate on the progression of knee osteoarthritis: a report from

the Glucosamine/chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial. Arthritis and

Rheumatism. 2008;58(1):3183–3191. from -

http://nccam.nih.gov/research/results/spotlight/051110.htm

" Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, alone or in combination, were not

significantly better than placebo in reducing knee pain in the overall group of

patients. However, the subgroup with moderate-to-severe pain had significant

relief with the combined supplements (the researchers noted that this apparent

benefit would need to be confirmed by another trial). Participant response time

was much faster with celecoxib than with glucosamine, chondroitin, or the two

in combination. Adverse events tended to be mild, infrequent, and comparable

across the treatment groups.

the two in combination for painful knee osteoarthritis. New England Journal of

Oh, great take glucosamine and worry about your pancreatitis, take NASIDs and

worry about your liver or kidneys. I hate studies that use animals using huge

amounts, not using normal administrations methods and then scare people to death

of taking their meds.

I don't want to sound conspiracist - but I think part of it is corporate

manipulation to suppress belief in their health industry competitors -

alternative care not complimentary care. But I believe that it is also totally

possible that the medical industry really does think that beriberi and scurvy

are the way nutrient science works all the time - got a problem - find the one

thing you need to solve the problem. We got too lucky with those nutrients and

it may have set us up for this hunt for magic one ingredient solutions.

Laetrile (apricot seed extract) studies that panned it were big dose single

nutrient type of studies - what rat is going to get healthy on a such a plan?

The Gerson clinic in Mexico has a phenomenal success rate with cancer and

autoimmune disease. I don't agree with all of their theorys but the basis is a

raw foods vegan approach and rapid detox with coffee enemas. - not too pretty

sounding but chemotherapy is not pretty either.

Netflix has some great documentaries - my husband finds stuff so I'll sit and

watch TV with him longer. The plastic water bottle industry documentary is

disturbing as well - Towns are having their underground water drained by the

bottling company. The company is only paying what anyone else would for a city

I don't want to sound conspiracist - but I think part of it is corporate

manipulation to suppress belief in their health industry competitors -

alternative care not complimentary care. But I believe that it is also totally

possible that the medical industry really does think that beriberi and scurvy

are the way nutrient science works all the time - got a problem - find the one

thing you need to solve the problem. We got too lucky with those nutrients and

it may have set us up for this hunt for magic one ingredient solutions.

Laetrile (apricot seed extract) studies that panned it were big dose single

nutrient type of studies - what rat is going to get healthy on a such a plan?

The Gerson clinic in Mexico has a phenomenal success rate with cancer and

autoimmune disease. I don't agree with all of their theorys but the basis is a

raw foods vegan approach and rapid detox with coffee enemas. - not too pretty

sounding but chemotherapy is not pretty either.

Netflix has some great documentaries - my husband finds stuff so I'll sit and

watch TV with him longer. The plastic water bottle industry documentary is

disturbing as well - Towns are having their underground water drained by the

bottling company. The company is only paying what anyone else would for a city

water bill but they are shipping the water out of the communities by the

truckloads. The company moves on to a new town that is desperate for a few jobs

once they have depleted the supply of ground water in the last town. Well those

jobs won't seem worth it after desertification of the state of Maine has

occurred. (inflammatory but I get cranky)

I know these studies may be a little out of control as far as the quantity of

the drug/alternative therapy they give the animals. However, I have seen people

with diabetes start glucosamine and their blood sugar does go up. If you are

working with DM or prediabetes patients you might consider having them test

more if they start on glucosamine, to make sure it is not causing an increase in

blood sugar. Many natural medicine databases state this effect in diabetics. 

I also discussed it with a pharmacist and he did report the same thing.

 

 Some medications that diabetics are prescribed have the same effect

(diuretics come to mind here) and in many instances, the patient needs to

continue the medication and just treat the high blood sugar. If glucosamine is

very effective in helping a diabetic with joint pain, they might be able to

stay on it. Obviously, they would need to discuss taking anything with their

doctor to decide if they should continue to take it.

Diuretics would cause increased insulin resistance from increased losses of

magnesium. The body's main homeostatic control for increasing magnesium is to

increase insulin - increase appetite and any food or water would have been a

reasonably good source of magnesium in non-industrialized water softened

worlds. It is not working in our food supply - people eat more but are still

getting the calcium/acidity/protein/salt ratios that drain us of magnesium and

potassium stores.

BTW Don't try to replete iodine stores without selenium. Selenium is essential

for the enzyme that breaks down the excess thyroid hormone. Iodine

supplementation got a bad name because the severely depleted can go hyperthyroid

- it means they were depleted in selenium and probably magnesium as well.

A confusing thing about fighting autoimmune disease - mystery infection that we

don't really know much about - is that when the body starts effectively

fighting back because it got the tools it was missing (nutrients), then the

sudden die off of the infected cells overloads the detox system and the waste

products trigger histamine reactions. I was on low dose antibiotics for a year

and half to conquer the migraines and environmental chemical sensitivity/chronic

fatigue syndrome/fibromyalgia symptoms. (like Lymes and TB there are bacteria

involved).

I would have the detox - flu like symptoms the day after I took the antibiotics

- the protocol recommends every other day, very low dose amounts to help control

and reduce the detox symptoms. In the more severely ill, the detox symptoms can

include cardiac risks. By the end I had used all three antibiotics that I had

had " severe allergic " reactions to and had stopped using due to theory that I

was allergic - What happened was a normal dose of antibiotics killed so much

unidentified infection that I was head to toe histamine reaction one Halloween -

Dalmation girl.. The protocol I followed starts patients on an 1/8 of a

minocycline dose every other day - I got achy and slightly swollen lymph nodes

for a couple weeks before moving up to 1/4 dose every other day. Eventually i

was using two antibiotics at a time and eventually three. I took probiotics

super regularly and didn't get yeast too bad. website about it

-http://bacteriality.com/about-the-mp/ after re-reading his site - he doesn't

have it 100% right either. I got slammed for talking about iodine on his forum.

So my only thought about why glucosamine - which I'm positive is essential for

health - would cause blood sugar spikes in a chronically ill person is that

maybe they began effectively killing some infection and blood sugar does spike

in stress/wound/inflammatory conditions - doesn't it?

Clive Cussler has a great novel along those lines called, Blue Gold, I think. He

writes ecological thrillers.The movie, Sahara, with McConnaughey and

Steve Zahn, was based on one of his books I think. or at least I associate the

two because I want to see more of the in environmental adventure

movies. the Blue gold book has a great scene with a Viking ship in a private

board room and of course a mini submarine to get to the private location was

needed. - Yeah just remembered, definately the same author - it is Dirk Pitt

and the NEMA guys - geek movies for girls and guys.
