Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Hi , Welcome to the group. I am not sure how many are long term but if they are they will certainly speak up. I am just out 11 day's from my surgery so I couldn't help you much. Hugs, in AL. > Hello all, > > I am new to the list. In the process of considering the surgical option I was trying to find any medical research that follows the surgery results on the long run. (5 years or more. That seems to be the threshold for cancer survivals). I can not find any such long term research. Why it is not done, I do not know, but it is just not done. Why some doctors/institutions not considering it essential and pushing for such research, I can not understand. > > In the alternative, I am trying to find people who had any of the surgical procedures done quite a long time ago.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 Devyn I was told not to use ice after 48 hours. I have purchased a rice filled cloth bag that I warm up in the microwave, and then I place that on my jaw. The heat increases blood flow to the area, and helps speed up the healing. That might work better for you than the ice. As for the numbness, it could be a while. With each passing week, you should feel that it gets a little better, but it could be a long time before you get complete feeling back. You may always have a small patch of numbness. If it is really bothering you, you should talk to your OS about it. > Hey My name is Devyn and I'm a 20 year old male from Tampa FL. I had my > operation on may 11th 2005 on my upper and lower jaw.

Guest guest Posted May 19, 2005 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 Steve From what I understand, you can also make one, but I am not that handy in the sewing department. I found my bag at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. I would imagine any store like that would have them. You don't necessarily have to get a rice bag. You can get a hot/cold pack from any corner drug store, and that would work to. THe rice just mold to your face really good, so I prefer that. > > Hey My name is Devyn and I'm a 20 year old male from Tampa FL. I had > my > > operation on may 11th 2005 on my upper and lower jaw.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2005 Report Share Posted June 14, 2005 Hello my name is Ann I am 44 and 26 days post op after having both my top and bottom jaw done. I live in the uk in Chessington Surrey. At the moment I am off fluids and on toddler food! Yesterday I tried to chew but as my bottlom jaw is still numb this is not easy. The feeling is starting to come back but more as intense irritating discomfort. I can open my mouth 1 finger maionly because of the elastics keeping it shut. Really irritating. Is there anyone slse living near me? Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi June, Welcome to SCD. Each one of us has to individualize it to our own sensitivities, so even if eggs are legal, that does not mean you should eat them if you don't tolerate them. Perhaps in time you will, and many people have tolerated foods later on on SCD that they did not in the beginning. I would hold off on almond flour for a while and start building your diet by adding well cooked, seeded and peeled, fruits and vegetables. You can also after that add in nut butters as they are tolerated better than nut flours. It is not a good idea to get into nut flour products too soon. A good guide is the stages on Pecanbread.com. This is a site for kids with ASD, and it does not include cow milk products for kids with ASD avoid casein. Those of us with gut issues can have SCD yogurt and legal cheeses. Since you are sensitive to dairy, you should get a legal probiotic which I believe can be found at GI prohealth or Lucy's Kitchen Shop online. There is a section on pecanbread.com for finding legal supplements and probiotics. You can add honey at any time as you tolerate it. Too much honey ( too much of anything ) is not a good idea. Honey is a problem if you are concerned about yeast. Hope you feel better soon! PJ > > Hi everyone, > > I am trying this diet since I have a lot of digestive problems. I have IBS and was just diagnosed with Mastocytic enterocolitis. I have too many mast cells in my intestines which cause me to have anaphylactic reactions to certain foods(like dairy,eggs,yeast). This is different from IgE mediated allergy. > > I have been eating a Paleo diet but still have a lot of gas,bloating and pain with starchy veggies like yams and parsnips. I am also 8 pounds at least underweight. My chiroractor suggested I eat this way. > > I have a main gene for celiac disease, I was on tons of antibiotics through my life and picked up some bad bugs when I was in India 20 years ago. > > I have very bad reactions to eggs, but I am hoping that in a month that I can eat egg yolks and make almond flour muffins with them. Right now all I am eating is chicken soup and avocado. I also bought some turkey to make soup. > > How long should I eat just protein and veggies before going on to almond flour products and honey? > > Thanks for listening, > June > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
