Guest guest Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 nne, Hi! I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but welcome to the group! In answer to your questions about itching and diet, here's what I was told for what it's worth: The nutritionist/doctors recommended that I try to eat six small meals a day. They weren't particularly concerned with the makeup of the meals (I have a hard time gaining weight/maintaining a normal body weight), they just wanted to make sure I was constantly putting something into my system. They did suggest I keep a journal though and see if I could find any patterns as to what made me nauseous, what I couldn't keep down, etc. They also suggested using Carnation Instant Breakfast once a day to ensure that I was getting vitamins. As to itching, some days it's just brutal and nothing helps but I have noticed some relief from the use of Naltrexone (a prescribed narcotic) and the use of Sarna lotion. I hope this info helps!
