Re: Re: Ferritin loss AND Seasonal Allergies

[Guest guest]

If you check the archives, there is something on Miralax with Ducalax (sp?) pills.  The amounts (I think it's one bottle of Miralax and 4 Dulcolax (sp?) pills) but I don't recall.  I've been able to take both without flaring--but not in that amount and not together.  But I have a really hard time keeping down liquid preps, I usually toss them back. 

 

I hope someone who has had good results can respond soon.

 

I take Singulair but that's prescription.  I have taken Mucinex when I was also taking antibiotics for some chest crud last November.  I didn't think to have it compounded.  And there's a million types of Mucinex so read the box.

> Do you have something compounded?You could, depending on your sensitivity level, money situation andpickiness. I don't bother, which isn't to say it wouldn't be better for me if I did. I

don't know, one way or the other. And we're allowed to use uncompoundedmedicine if we have to. Mara

Here are the questions which I

am waiting to hear from you about:

1) Do you recommend any certain prep for either the endoscopy or

colonoscopy that doesn't bring about a flare or major disturbances? The

thought of ending up in the hospital due to complications from the

preparations they've suggested for me, is not pleasant

2) Do you have any experience with ferratin levels AND reactions to the

infusion such as mine? What have you done to maintain adequate levels?

3) If the over the counter drugs for seasonal allergies are out of the

question for us SCDers, what do you use? Do you have something

compounded? Is there a list that I should share with the local

compounding pharmacy of typical additives that are added to meds, that we

can't have?

Thanking you advance for your wisdom.

Lynelle,

I have posted information on colonoscopies before. I'm sorry I haven't

reposted it, but I'm not feeling well this weekend. My sleep has been

very erratic, and I'm fighting the lymphedema from my cancer

surgery. I have also spent a number of days searching for

information for a lady whose son is facing serious (non-gut)

surgery.

I maintained my iron by eating ostrich and spinach, though not, I admit,

at the same time. Liver pate is excellent for this, also, except that I

hate liver. My oncologist had two units of blood standing by after my

surgery in 2008, and I needed neither.

Look for an SCD-legal of quercetin and vitamin C. This is what I use for

allergies. You may find that the longer you are on SCD, the better those

allergies get.

Also, please be aware that the moderators on this list are all

volunteers, and we are not able to staff this board 24 hours a day, 7

days a week. If you don't get an answer right away, give it some time,

and then repost. We may not be ignoring you. We may just not be on line.

Or it may be that whoever is online doesn't know the answers to your

questions.
