Guest guest Posted June 8, 2002 Report Share Posted June 8, 2002 Deryk, Regarding B5 (pantothenic acid)--I megadosed on this stuff for about 6 weeks (10 grams per day)and did not notice any differences in my skin one way or the other--it did nothing for my seb derm and nothing for my oil. I know that alot of younger people (teens especially) have had a lot of success with reducing oil and their acne vulgaris with high doses of B5 but I have yet to hear convincing stories from someone over 35 who has had success with it--not sure if age has anything to do with this vitamin's effectivenss, but it does seem to work wonders for younger people in reducing oil--. But who knows, it may work for you--it is relatively cheap and water soluble so megadosing does not really seem to present any problems--only side effect I noticed is that increased my appetite. > >To: rosacea-support >Subject: Diet >Date: Sat, 08 Jun 2002 19:25:10 -0000 > > >I've been going through some of the archived material trying to find >for myself some dietary tips--unfortunately, some of what is out there >is contradictory, but again that is rosacea. > >Questions >1) Some advocate no orange or apple juice, but oranges and apples are >ok?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2002 Report Share Posted June 10, 2002 Hi Deryk - I can address some of your questions. Not all the rosacea trigger foods are triggers for everyone. I think the problem with citrus fruits and tomatoes is acid. Some of us react to the acid in these foods. If you don't have a reaction, then there's no reason you can't eat tomatoes, but you may want to do so in moderation. Wheat can be a problem for people with and without rosacea. Again, if you don't have a reaction to wheat then you're okay, but it's best not to overindulge. In Chinese Medicine there is something called Food Therapy. Simply put, the belief is that food has warm/cool properties. For example - cucumber is thought to be a cool food whereas cherries are warm. This is an issue for people who need to monitor their internal temperature. If you haven't already, you should keep a food diary and track the foods that cause a reaction. Also, in general it's best to eat all things in moderation to prevent developing a sensitivity. For example, if you eat tomatoes everyday for months or years on end, it's likely that eventually you will develop an allergy to them. I hope this is helpful information.

Guest guest Posted March 3, 2009 Report Share Posted March 3, 2009 What is the best diet to go on for those with psc? I have avoided dairy products and kept a low sugar, low fat diet... but still have alot of diarrhea... and it seems like I am always hungry... food goes right through me so it is very hard for me to gain any weight despite how hard I try... any suggestions or adivce would be greatly appreciated...TrevTo: Sent: Tuesday, March 3, 2009 2:22:19 PMSubject: Update on 3/3/09 So far things are going great! Every day his skin color improves. This morning he was looking at his hands and he says "Oh my goodness, look at my hands!" I asked what was wrong with them and he says "nothing.... they look almost normal!" His face and eyes are improving as well. They got him up in a chair yesterday and he sat for about an hour. He ate a little bit of dinner last night but has been NPO since midnight because they took him back in for his fascia closure a few minutes ago. That should take a couple hours. When it's over he'll have a couple drains and his skin will be stapled. I saw his incisions for the first time yesterday. Not as bad as I expected. He doesn't want to look at it of course. He had a case of "ICU psychosis" the other night I guess. His mom stayed with him and he got pretty crazy from what she said. He wouldn't let anyone touch him and was convinced all of the doctors and nurses were trying to hurt him. He also kept hearing music playing that no one else could. LOL Thankfully he had a good night last night and a good day today. I asked him how he felt not compared to a week ago. He rolled his eyes and said "a million times better!" So far so good!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Hi Trev There are many conflicting opinions around this topic, I never got much of any suggestions from my doctors, just to keep eating and keep up weight. In my experience avoiding refined foods especially hydrogented " cooked " fats helps, and also avoiding too many grain products and any other obviously unhealthy foods, fried, charred foods, excess sugar. abstaining from toxic food is one thing but being fed and satisfied is another. Raw foods have helped me alot, its taken perserverance and discipline but in my circumstances i will take any diet over having a liver transplant. There are many raw food diets, the one that has help me involves organic: vegetable juices, raw cultured milk products, pasture raised raw eggs, raw fish, raw meat, fruits, nuts, honey, these components can me made into enjoyable food. Most people think eating raw meat is crazy, but it has been part of many indiginous cultures for centuries and still is. This diet is definately an alternative one but when motivated and well informed of whats involved many people have been able to reverse incurable illness. I wont elaborate more, if you want more information look into the primal diet. Most mainstream doctors will write this off as mumbo jumbo but it does save lives, Empirical evidence has no say in allopatic medicine sadly. Oh and be careful of prescriptions!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Trev, Hi! I'm so sorry to hear about the issues that you're having. I've had/have a lot of the same problems myself. I've been advised to drink Carnation Instant Breakfast to get my nutrients and protein, calories, etc. by several PSC docs, dieticians and nutritionists. I still have trouble with " returning " it, but I know a lot of people for whom it has worked. I've also been advised to try some toast with peanut butter with the Instant Breakfast if I can. If you take one of the Carnation Breakfasts and have the peanut butter toast, you're well on your way to your daily nutritional quota and, theoretically, weight gain. Best of luck!
