Re: Relin : Have to get colon fully removed in next few weeks

[Guest guest]

Hi Marilyn,

Thanks for your help i greatly appreciate it, I'm really not sure what's best to do to get myself in the best shape possible for this surgery they are taking the whole colon and rectum out as they are where my disease is active luckily enough my small bowel is fine. But il be on a stoma bag for life as there is no cahance of reattachment.

I get so mixed up with this diet and only add more stress to myself making me worse plus i was told on LDN groups that i should stop takin LDN before surgerey coz pain meds wont work! (news to me).

Since im only stage 1 still and still have the diorreha im always confused on what and waht not i should eat. Your right about vitiman c and i would juice some oranges but afraid it will make my D worse, so i only juice grapes and apples. I have Freeda Multi Vits (3 a day) and Freeda calcium (5 per day) too so should i take the full amount of them each day or is there some scd legal vit c i can get?

As i need to get my weight up for this surgerey to avoid complications (im only 6 & half stone) do you reccommend i eat all scd foods even if there stage 2,3,4 etc. Im soo worried bout my low weight im even considering taking the fresubin drinks again which my dietition had me on, there high calorie drinks but with illegals, But then again maybe my yoghurt (which i make with cream and milk) smoothies with bannana,honey,vanilla, butter and raw egg will be good enough for getting the calories up, I also have cream cheese ( made from straining my yogurt) on my sandwich bread topped with chedder cheese each day, i bought avacados too and eat meat each day with purred carrots for dinner, maybe i should add more cooked vegetables to my dinners? As for breakfast il eat scrambled eggs with chedder cheese and butter as a mix, or else tinned tuna or mackeral in sunflour oil. Is there anything else you suggest i do or dont do...

By the way my stoma nurse said i will be on a feed after surgery and could be in hospital for 2 weeks depending on recovery, she also said that when i go back to eating i need to drink loads of water i think 4 litres per day and that i can never eat nuts or mushrooms?? which had me thinking how would i do SCD...

Thank you so much for the help, id be lost without the help

Mark,I'm genuinely sorry to hear that you need to have this permanently life-changing surgery. I've been there, two years ago, for cancer surgery -- had a complete hysterectomy, removal of ovaries and Fallopian tubes, as well as removal of lymph nodes for tests to see if the cancer had spread. I was scared witless because one of the first places cancer spreads from the uterus is to the colon, and they'd told me that if it had spread, they'd be taking my colon, too.Please stay with SCD up to your surgery. The nutrition will help. I also recommend a good multivitamin, as well as as much Vitamin C as you can tolerate. It makes a major difference in how you heal.You CAN stay on SCD while you are in the hospital. If you are not equal to the amount of cooking necessary for this, find someone who is willing to cook food, put it up for you, and bring it to the hospital for you. You might ask your doctor what your food

regimen will be after the surgery. It may well start with clear liquids, progress to thick liquids, then to soft foods, and finally to whatever your new normal foods will be.If that's the case, I can help you formulate SCD-legal menus for this time, and you can have your foods made up in advance. I also recommend having someone prepare food for you for at least six weeks after your hospital stay, because you are not going to feel like cooking while you recover.I also strongly recommend that you prepare your home -- make sure you do not have to climb stairs to reach your home, your bedroom, or your bathroom. Make sure you have rails to hold onto getting on and off the toilet, in and out of bed, and in and out of the shower. My surgery was on a Monday; I did very well, and they released me on Friday. It hadn't occured to me that I would need help getting out of bed, so I'd only set up a superpole in the bathroom. We got home, and I

discovered I needed a pole and trapeze for the bed, and had to order them second day air. Darned shipping cost almost as much as the pole! But when we had that in place, I was able to get myself in and out of bed, especially at night. Before the pole came in, my poor husband lost a lot of sleep -- his normal sleep cycle is about three hours. My bladder was on a two hour cycle. "Harry. I have to go pee." "Mmm." "Harry. I have to go pee." "Mmm." "Harry, if I don't go pee NOW, you're going to be getting up and changing the bed. I have to go NOW!"Once the pole came in, I was able to get in and out of bed on my own, which made for a big improvement in my outlook. <wry grin> Ask Jodi: she also made the mistake of not having a set-up for getting in and out of bed, and on and off a couch or chair after her gut surgery.I do wish to heaven that it was possible for you to give SCD a chance, but if you can't, you can't.

Mark,If you still have brisk diarrhea, you should be avoiding eggs. Otherwise it sounds like you are getting a good amount of protein and fat to put on weight. Have you tried coconut oil? That and butter put into smoothies will really pack in the fat calories. Also, if you tolerate cooked apples, you can cook them, chill them, and add them to your smoothies as well. They are also good cooked with butter and coconut oil -- no added water -- Yum! If you are making yogurt, you should try making it with cream instead of milk (need to double the starter though) and it will make a lovely very fattening cream yogurt. You can also whip it like regular cream and use it as a topping onto your cooked fruit or bananas.Hope this helps.

Hi Amelia,

Ye i can avoid eggs and have something different for breakfast, I have coconut oil i got some today so will use that in my smoothies, as for the yoghurt im making a batch today so will use 2 litres (quarts) of cream like you said to get that extra calories. So i should use twice the amount of yogurt starter than i usually would and i will also cook some apples tonight too.

Thanks for the help, Mark

hi

[Guest guest]

If we have to avoid eggs for breaksfast, what else can we have?

[Guest guest]

,Probably because in juice the sugars are concentrated in that there is very little pulp left. When you eat an orange, you get all the pulp and fiber and it that affects the way you digest it. Plus, you never know just how they make the orange juice. Have you tried juicing your own oranges to see if you tolerate it better than commercial juice?AmeliaTo: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, May 24, 2010 3:01:40 PMSubject: Re: Relin : Have to get colon fully removed in next few weeks

Thanks Amelia. The funny thing is for some reason I can tolerate oranges better than legal orange juice it seems. Any reason why this may be?

[Guest guest]

Mara,I am suspecting that with commercial yogurt there is a lot of lactose left, so with the quadrupled amount, one is actually ADDING lactose and therefore food for the bacteria to multiply better with. That's my guess anyway.AmeliaP.S. I usually just double, not quadruple, the amount of starter.To: BTVC-SCD Sent: Mon, May 24, 2010 3:03:48 PMSubject: Re: Relin : Have to get colon fully removed in next few weeks

That never really made that much sense to me, since it has less lactose,so why quadruple.You can do it that way, but it also works fine with less.MaraMark,"so will use 2 litres (quarts) of cream like you said to get that extra calories. So i should use twice the amount of yogurt starter than i usually would"Oops!, that is incorrect. My bad! One is to actually quadruple it according to the recipe that is in

BTVC listed as French Cream, at the bottom of page 158. In the recipe is says to use 1/2 cup commercial yogurt for each 2 cups of cream (about 1/2 of a quart/litre) . Happy eating!Amelia From: mark lambert <lambo042002@ yahoo.com>To: BTVC-SCD@yahoogroup

I think, anything you can tolerate!

If you are making yogurt, you should try making it with cream instead of milk (need to double the starter though)Why do you need to double the starter?
