Guest guest Posted April 10, 2000 Report Share Posted April 10, 2000 This is Barb's husband Park... I'm sorry if this is a stupid question, but I was reading something about nutritional yeast being different and safe as opposed to the regular kind of yeast... so does it work the same way as regular yeast, could one like bake bread with it safely and it would make the bread rise and everything? Because we're near a health store that sells different flours, millet, buckwheat, quinoa etc... >From: mogdrmom@... >Reply-candidiasisegroups >candidiasisegroups >Subject: Re: How to keep weight on >Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 08:50:15 EDT > >When i was going thru the crucial die-offs i lost 20 pds (which was 1 yr. >ago) i am sorry to say i have regained some of that, i am still working on >ridding the yeast but can tolerate some different foods than before. >Mogdrmom >Try small meals, home made soups, meat & veggies. ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2000 Report Share Posted April 11, 2000 Nutritional yeast won't make bread rise because it is dead. However, it still contains the chemicals that stimulate it's growth that it produced when it was alive, and those chemicals remain even after it has died, and they also stimulate the growth of candida when you ingest them. That's how it feeds candida. This is why any kind of yeast, whether it's yeast that's been baked in bread and has been killed by the heat of baking, or turula yeast or bakon yeast or any other type of yeast can aggravate a candida problem. Foods that have been raised or fermented by yeasts also contain nutrients to help the yeasts grow, such as sugars, or dough conditioners that will also feed the candida and stimulate it's growth. lindaj@...

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2003 Report Share Posted December 31, 2003 Patty, That dose sounds more normal if she does have systemic. She may even have to go higher. n was put on 20mg and improved greatly, but all are different. Some kids are put on 60 or somewhere in between. Sed rate is an inflammation indicator. Generally it is below 20, and some say 10 for kids. C reactive protein is another they measure. It should be below 1, but it will be elevated in a flare with systemic. Again, since they just upped her dose they will watch to see what happens, and if she improves then they will ever so slowly taper. She will probably be on that dose from one to two weeks at least to see how she responds. There are 3 categories of drugs used in this disease. NSaid's-think of them simplistically like tylenol, advil and aleve. What they use with these kids are lots of other ones that last usually at least 12 hours so you don't have to give them so often. DMard's- that helps to stop the joint destruction and the actual disease rather than just trying to control the inflammation or swelling which is what the nsaids do. Methotrexate, plaquenil, sulfasalzine are some examples. Then you have the tumor necrosis factor (tnf) inhibitors--or biologicals. These are pretty new and a great break through for the disease. Since they are new, they are very expensive. About 12 grand a year. It includes Enbrel, Remicade, Kineret, and Humira. That is all I can think of. Generally the doctors will start with an nsaid to get the swelling and inflammation down. Then they might add steroids with a dmard. If a dmard fails, then they move on to a biological. They have to try a dmard first most of the time for insurance purposes. Dmard's are lots cheaper than the biologicals. All of this is very simplistic, but it will give you are start. By the way, n woke up for the first time in four years with her jaw hurting pretty badly. She is supposed to spend the night with her cousin, but as it often so happens, we might have to pick her up early. Maybe tomorrow the pain will have moved on to a new place. Happy New Year. (marian, almost 15, systemic) Yet Another Question Hello All:Happy New Year's Eve. Caitlin's rheumy has upped her steroids as of yesterday afternoon (from his vacation with his family, no less, I think we are fortunate to have found this doctor). He is still extremely concerned about her anemia. So he upped it from 9 mg once a day (see I know this now thanks to and Becki:) to 9mg twice a day, am and at dinner. Hopefully, it didn't last night, keep her up a night getting a dose so late in the day. So she is now on 18 mg of Pred. Is this considered a large dose? Is there a certain amount of time she should be on it or weaned off of it? Her levels were/are:While in the hospital: sed rate 100, hemoglobin 11.1 and hematicrit (sp?) 33.0.Bone marrow biopsy - 12/24: sed rate wasn't checked, hemoglobin 8.4 and hematicrit 26.712/29: sed rate 116, hemoglobin 8.8 and hematicrit 25.9Her sed rate is going up again, which, I guess, explains her joints hurting again. Her hemoglobin is up a smidgeon (thankfully), but her hematicrit has dropped. I just hope and pray the steroids start working on the anemia so she doesn't need a blood transfustion.Thanks for all your words of wisdom.Take care.Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Patty, 18 mg is borderline of high doses and you might very well see some side effects.If Caitlins SED is 116 she might be on it a while.The higher doses should bring it down though. went from 109 down to 34 in 2 weeks.There is no specific time frame for steroid doses.They need to get Caitlen diagnosed so they can start treatment.Steroids is just a quick fix.Right now the rheumies concern is to get that SED way down and get the hemo and hematocrit up.With the SED so high are they monitoring for organ inflimation? never went beyond multiple huge glands so we were lucky. used to have to do an AM and PM dose.We found if you give right after dinner as close to 5:00-5:30 it didn't interfere with sleep.They will try to taper the PM dose or get it added to the am dose as soon as possible.PM doses do not work as well and cause more side effects. Try not to fret to much about what the steroids might do in the future.Right now they are neccessary and can prevent complications.

I worry that they may never be able to pinpoint it:( You know, even though her hemoglobin and hematocrit are low, she looked like she had some color in her face today. Of course, she had a fever, but even now, with the fever down, she looks like she has a little color. I hope it's true and not just wishful seeing. How do they monitor for organ inflammation? She has a blood draw on Monday and is seeing the rheumy on Tuesday should I ask them for a particular scan/test to check the organs? <<Try not to fret to much about what the steroids might do in the future.Right now they are neccessary and can prevent complications. >> Thanks Becki and am trying to just live day to day now with everything. I find if I think of the past, I get angry and when I think of the future I worry. So right now I worry day to day. I feel so much better when Caitlin has a good day:) What kinds of complications do the steroids prevent - joint destruction? Take care.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hey guys, as you know I tested negative for rf factor (is that it?) and have blessed the last couple of weeks with much less intrusive pain and manageable short-lived swelling--- that's good. but i've discovered that when things are going better I tend to lose momentum in seeking care. If symtoms are drowsy or on the comfortable edge of dormant, is it advisable to still push for treatment? I'm going to clinics now and they aren't impressed . LOL they don't have any advice for me but to keep taking aleve . once again I went to the state for medicaid, but the program is still frozen (thanks to some very sorry mismanagement by Engler, our former governor of 12 years, while I paid into the system faithfully, since I've been working since I was 14) buuut, anyway! worked a little ambitiously in the garden yesterday and woke up feeling like a zombie. Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to convince the "freebie missions" that there is something real and something that threatens my future productivity happening with me. making a loud noise doesn't seem to help. 'I understand, but there is nothing I can do' is a favorite phrase around here at the moment. love and peace to you all yellowJacy <jacymail@...> wrote: Good to know. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2004 Report Share Posted October 27, 2004 Hi Yellow, I know this is probably a bit of risky advice, but when I had to go for initial assessments I used to make sure I overdid it the day before just so they would see me the way I am a lot of the time.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Hi, OK that sounds about right then. These are not battered or fried. They're about 3/4 of the size of a chicken nugget so they're smaller than normal " buffalo wings. " I think 4 oz of meat is supposed to be about the size of a deck of cards. This was 3.5 oz, so a tad smaller than that? Plus, it's fake meat.

Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Yes, these soy " wings " are delicious! Taste just like meat! 2-4 ounces of this sounds just about right. the Band pouch is the size of a golfball, and can stretch to about twice that comfortably. Eating much more of solids can easily over-stretch the pouch, which can lead to slippage.

However they had two different bio dads..... I feel that it could have come from either side.. Based on both family histories. Yes.. It is something to consider.. And my Daughter has often mentioned she would adopt a child rather than risk it.. Yet she is only 14. My son.. Is high functioning.. And of course I wouldn't trade him for the world. He was my second and from day one I knew I would only have two children. So he was my planned last child. .. Regardless of his diagnoses. -- ( ) RE: Yet another question Some of you mention you have more than one child with aspergers?

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Sherri- You might want to check out The ADHD Autism Connection by Diane Kennedy. She has 3 boys diagnosed - 2ADHD, 1Aspy - she finds more commonalities than differences between them and makes the case that the autism community and the psych/pediatric community could come together for some diagnostic common ground.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Yes you're so right Noreen. Also his Psychologist (and a Psychiatrist is on the board as well) told me that it's very typical for ADHD children to have a " touch of autism " or more.. Also the doctors here are very good at this sort of thing and diagnosis, so I am very positive he will be diagnosed Aspergers. I have no doubts really. It's all there; it's obvious to me since he was 4 and had SOME language difficulties among OTHER things too. Thanks! I may have ot check that ADHD Autism out.
