Hello Jessie,

Flaxseed oil may give heartburn.

_______________

Use it mixed with cottage cheese (Dr.Johanna Budwig Mix):

1 cup cottage shesse

2-5 Tbsp. of flaxseeed oil

1-3 Tbsp. of freshly ground up flaxseed (coffee grinder ($15) works fine)

little cayenne

optional:

little garlic

little pepper

little rice malt sweetener

little Champagne wine (must be organic, unorganic contain strong

preservatives)

(PS Adjust quantities for your taste !)

Hi :

I just woke up and I got really sick. My face is pale and I feel nautious.

I guess I really can't handle this to well anymore. Can you ever feel the

tapeworm move? I know that is a gross question but I'm been experiencing it

a lot lately. I think although my body is spent it is still trying to get

this thing out of my body. Maybe getting this sick is a sign that it is

weakening the parasite. I know it is making me weak. Sorry for bothering

you again.

Right, Tara and , I have big time stomach upset.

Every time I eat I have to move my bowels immediately

thereafter, for one thing. And my bowels have a

tendency to be loose, though at times I get the gift

of constipation as well. Just had a colonoscopy (At

Wayne General, Tara --- I live in area the Wayne NJ)

but have not gotten the results back. The doc

suggested that I might have Crohn's disease, Irritable

Bowl Disease (IBD), or cancer -- but cancer is the

least likley I think, by far. As with , my doc

suggested Metamucil, though I have not tried it yet.

Finally, he suggested that all the stomach upset has

produced internal hemorroids and I am using a

suppository to deal with the swelling.

I have noted that many PA people have digestive

problems as wel. And on the " guide " of the IBD chat

at About.com noted the reverse: that many of her

IBS/IBD/Crohn's people have achy joints. She supposes

that the digestive problem " caused " the joint problem.

Similarly, the arthritis people I know assume that the

arthritis " caused " the digestive illness! My guess --

and I am certainly not a physician -- is that neither

condition causes the other; rather, both tend to be

manifestations of the same auto-immune problem. If I

am correct, the auto-immunity is the underlying

problem, and the arthritis and digestive problems are

just the symptoms of the root cause.

So that's my two cents!

Oh goody, this is something I DO know something about. My digestive

problems at one time had reached such a point that I was losing a

pound every two days. Very scary. Went to Duke University and the

doctor there said that all he ever did for patients with IBS was to

give them a low dose tri-cyclic antidepressant--dries you out and

makes your gut feel sleepy-- and fiber therapy. Worked for me to stop

the extreme diahrrea. Also i modified my diet and as long as I stick

to that I am fine. No yeast, no dairy, no caffeine, no corn, I eat

only whole wheat pita bread and on the whole try to stay away from as

many starches as possible. Lots of squash instead. Write me if you

want more of the gory details. Of course that said, I took one advil

last night and this morning had rumblings from the IBS!

Ok guys - I'm a little confused here. I have a lot of digestive trouble, I

mostly attribute it to meds., but maybe it's more. What confuses me is the

fiber therapy. Doesn't that make things worse?

Hey, here. I think the reason for the fiber therapy is that

many IBS sufferers experience alternating bouts of constipation and

diahrrea and the fiber evens that out, and also gets in all the

little cracks and crevices of the bowel and keeps it cleaned out.

Must drink lots of water with the fiber or it just turns into

concrete. Some people like me can get too much fiber and then its run

don't walk to nearest rest station. Just have to be careful how many

crunchy vegetables i eat. Actually ripe bananas have a very gentle

kind of fiber that really helps with the diahrrea. Must have no green

on the skin though or it makes things worse. More than you wanted to

know about my bowels but maybe it will help a fellow sufferer.

[Guest guest]

The fiber therapy works by helping to equalize the pressure inside your

intestines with what is going on the .outside. Two doctors have told me

this and it does help but sometimes I hate to drink that big glass of guck.

Hi Jane

I was treated with RAI and I have had digestive problems frequently ever

since. I gained 40 pounds inbetween being diagnosed as hyperthyroid and

being declared 'euthroid' by my endocrinologist after RAI and replacement

hormone.

Tomorrow I get to undergo my second round of small bowel exam in two years.

I think for me being slightly hyper triggers it but I'm not sure. I just

spent the past few weeks/months trying to eliminate different things from my

diet to see if I could figure out the problem. It appears to me to be mostly

milk and dairy products, coffee (including decaf now), and all types of

soda. This doesn't leave me much of my soul food and I actually lost 5

pounds. But it was our Thanksgiving this past weekend and I put it all back

on just eating everything I wanted.

Hi All- Digestive problems mean big trouble for me. In the past I've lost

between 3 - 5 lbs per day when it hits. It took a few rounds of inpatient

treatment but what works for me is allergy tabs and fresh foods (no heavy fats

or

processed foods).

==>Hi Serge. Welcome to our group!

> I have been having severe digestive problems for a year now. I have

done acupuncture, homeopathic remedies and all kinds of diets and

supplements, but so far it has been of little relief. I have also had

an endoscopy and they found irritation in the esophagus and

the stomach. The doctors wanted me on PPI and I did this for a while

but quit when I found out the antacids could actually make things

worse.

==>I understand what you are going through because my stomach was

very bad before I cured my candida in the mid 1980s.

>

> I seem to go true cycles of indigestion, heartburn, acid reflux and

then inflammation in the lower abdomen. Some of the discomfort I get

is constipation, difficulty talking, swollen lymphatic glands and

skin rash on my forehead and on my right hand and numbness and

fatigue in my forearms hands and feet, low energy, chills and nausea.

> The worst of it is a yellow coating on my thong, which looks like

peeling paint. This coating which gets worse a couple of hours after

meals creates dry patches on my tongue and in my mouth. It's

particularly bad at night when my mouth gets really hot and causes

my tongue to crack and split. This whole business causes me to get

up 2 to 3 times at night to rinse out my mouth and drink water, which

deprives me of sleep.

==>You are having a bad time of it, and you've come to the right

place to get help.

> Last week I did the spit in the glass test and it looked a 100%

like candida so I have begun a 2 part candigone treatment. I have

also been on Bio K (probiotic) for a few weeks now. I have begun a

candida diet and will try to see a doctor to get an ING blood test

and permeability test.

==>The best test is Dr. Crook's Candida Questionnaire which

is in our Files (left menu) - see Candida Tests Folder. It is also

in my article sent to you when you joined " How to Successfully

Overcome Candida " , which you need to read so you understand what this

group is all about, and so you can get on the right diet,

supplements, etc. The diet is most important and it needs to be

started first, before taking any antifungals or probiotics. You'll

understand when you read the article.

>

> Do you think the mouth problems are related to candida and do you

have any advice on how to treat this? Can you tell me how long it

took you to heal? Very best regards

==>Yes, the mouth problems are related to candida and also to lack of

nutrition. Of course candida does interfere with your body getting

nutrients too. Please read the article because there is no other

candida diet like this one, and it is extremely effective. You'll be

amazed about what foods are good and which are bad, etc. Read, learn

and enjoy. This is a journey towards health you will never regret.

The best in health, Bee

[Guest guest]

Those of you dealing with digestive problems need to be tested for Candida and

leaky gut - http://www.genovadiagnostics.com/. Leo Galland, M.D. is the

recognized authority on this subject - http://www.mdheal.org/leakygut.htm.

You also need to make sure you are taking digestive enzymes with every meal

(available at any good health food store) and plenty of a good probiotic. Also

check out Digestinol. It's pricey but very effective.

http://www.digestinol.com/Home.html

With nearly 80% of immune function taking place in the gut, as long as it is not

functioning properly, you cannot get well.

Hi Madelyfs,

>>>I have already had my gallbladder removed. I get very nauseaus and there

is no relief until I actually throw up several times.<<<

I'm just a fellow patient, but one thing you may want to have checked is

sphincter of oddi dysfunction. This is a very common complaint after gall

bladder

removal. What happens is that during surgery the sphincter is accidentally

nicked (very common now they are no longer doing open surgery). After some time,

scar tissue builds up around the sphincter and the sphincter no longer opens

correctly to release bile through the common bile duct into the gut. This

results in bile back-up and gallbladder type pain (phantom pain as the GB is no

longer there) and all the same symptoms of GB type issues - nausea, vomiting,

waves of pain, constipation (as there is reduced bile for lubricant), poor

digestion, reflux, etc.

If this happens to be your problem, it can easily be resolved. It just needs

proper diagnosis with appropriate scanning to see how bile flow is moving

through the duct.

If you do a websearch on sphincter of oddi dysfunction, you should be able to

pull up a number of websites that discuss this post-operative problem.

Sometimes it doesn't occur for a couple of years after surgery, so it's

difficult to

make the connection. You might be able to compare your symptoms, however,

with those described for this condition....at least to rule it in or out as a

possibility and to share with your doc for his input.

I know gut issues can be a problem for sclero patients, but this may be

totally unrelated to your scleroderma issue and just something that can be

easily

corrected. Fingers crossed for you!

Peace, Maz

I have SD.I had migrating pain arounf my rib cage for almost 7-8 months. In one

point it was so sever that sent me to the emergency room. It was migrating to my

back , to lower back , around my chest and neck left side and right side but

most times around my rib cage . sometimes I could not breath properly because of

pain. I heard from some people with lyme disease that they had the same

symptoms. I tested for lyme disease it was negetive. I asked my doctor to

prescribe doxy (doxy is antibiotic for treatment of lyme disease) to take it at

the same time with minocin.   I am on minocin and doxy each 100 mg everyday for

almost 7 months. the migrating pain around my rib cage is gone. I have migration

pain n other parts of my body like in my elbow, my feet and knees.

I don't think those pain aaround rib cage (under breat bone) has somthing to do

with indigestion.

Hi Onyx (don't know if that's your name)

I had this problem too and after a few of years of digestive problems

it was diagnosed by colonoscopy as diverticulitis, a very common

ailment. The pain is in the lower left of the bowel and can sometimes

be on the right too. It needs dietary management. There's quite a lot

on the internet about it. The anti-inflammatories don't help.

Probiotics are useful for intestinal health but not a cure. I'm

gluten free to control the candida/yeast and take Diflucan and

nystatin as well. Write to me personally if you wish.

> Hello Bee. I have been on your program for 6 weeks. I usually don't have

digestive problems like heartburn,  stomach upsets or nausea, but I

have heaviness and a lot of anxiety after eating solids (not with Egg drink).

> Yesterday I bought HCI and took it. The first meal I took 1 cap. The second

meal I took 2 cap and I had burning sensation in the stomach. Does this mean I

don't need HCI? I think that my heaviness and anxiety after eating solids are

caused by digestive problems and aren't healing reactions, because if I drink

Egg drink I have no problem, but if I eat an omelette I feel a lot of anxiety.

+++Hi Raquel,

Please describe what you mean by heaviness. Most anxiety is caused by your body

running on its fight/flight nervous system, and when it is active it interferes

with digestion and other normal functions as follows:

-your mouth becomes dry because saliva production is decreased

-your breathing becomes more shallow yet you are breathing faster

-your lungs and bronchial tubes are expanded to provide more oxygen

-your stomach produces much less stomach acid (HCl)

-the movement of your bowels is slowed down

-it is more difficult to urinate, since the valve to your bladder is kept closed

-your heart rate increases, as well as the force of heart contractions (it feels

like pounding in your chest)

-the pupils in your eyes get larger (open up)

-your adrenals glands increase production of adrenaline and other hormones

-blood is sent to the brain while skin and internal organs get less oxygen

-muscle tension is increased

Therefore you need to do deep breathing exercises to switch your body off its

fight/flight nervous system:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/breath4.php

Maybe digesting foods that aren't liquid are creating stress because your body

is doing so much healing and detoxifying at this time.

In addition to deep breathing exercises, before and after meals, I suggest you

do my 9-Day Program, and possibly stay on an all liquid and pureed foods diet

for longer than 9 days; the instructions are in the article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/dig6.php

I hope that helps.

Hello Bee.

Sorry, by heaviness I mean to be tired,with more sleepiness. Yes, I

am going to do deep breathing exercises before and after meals and your 9-Day

Program.

Thank you, Raquel
