Need Advice

[Guest guest]

Satish,

The diet that would best suit your mother now would be one that is very low in

fat. Being unfamiliar with the normal, basic foods that you eat in India, I'm

not

sure how to advise you to cut out the fats in her diet. This would mean

avoiding any foods cooked in oil, or pastries and cakes made with lots of

butter.

Here in the statess we have medication that relieves nausea, you should ask

her doctor for a prescription for some medication for her to take to stop her

nausea. One technique that works is to suck on a sliver of fresh ginger root.

You can place the ginger root between the teeth and gums and suck on it -

this will relieve nausea symptoms for most people.

I cannot advise you on whether or not her gallbladder should be removed. All

I can advise is that you follow the directions of the doctors that have attended

her, and do as they advise. Many people find that their gallbladder's are the

root of their problems, and do have them taken out. If there are stones that

are causing many problems, removal would be indicated. There is no

guarantee that this would solve her problem, but it would clear up any

difficulties that the stones are causing her.

Her vomiting is not unusual at all for someone who has pancreatitis. Avoiding

the foods with high fat content and getting some prescription medication to

counteract this would be recommended.

I'm sorry that I can't help you more, but do hope that this advise has been of

use to you.

With love, hope and prayers,

Heidi

First, I'm a newbie and my 3 1/2 year old son has only been on the diet

for 24 days. I miss understood the into part of the diet and thought

stage 1 was the intro at first so we just went back this weekend and

did the intro. (My husband posted about extreme die off) Going back to

the intro helped us. My son had a couple formed poops, but still mainly

mushy with intermittent constipation, then after this weekend we've

seen two days in a row of formed poops. I still think he has

constipation and he was bloated today, but slowly coming out of it. I

would say go back to the beginning again and try to be patient. I'm

sure we'll see some more mushy poops as well. But having seen 4 formed

poops for the first time that I can remember in a span of 24 days is

pretty promising.

By the way our die-off reaction was terrible and my son is still very

worn out so if any one has any advice pleae bring it on. He had bad die-

off when I started the diet incorrectly and then a big bang of die off

again with the intro.

Thanks,

Charcoal tablets and epsom salt baths may help.

Ok, I'm another rookie in need of support. I really believe in this

diet, but it has been a rough day. Caleb (21mo) started the diet on

April 1. We are still mainly intro, but have introduced very ripe

banana and boiled pork.

Today, he was what I would consider back the square one.....all stims

and no Caleb. He is getting 2 epsom baths a day - one in the morning

and one at night. He is better after them, but hyper. I know

activated charcoal has been suggested, but he's so little, I worry

about doing too much to his little body.

On top of a frustrating day, he had a BM in the tub tonight (sorry

for gross). He was grunting a little and then things got

interesting. The good news is there was some firmness to it

(considering he has been liquid), but it was full of these yellow

globs, with redish-brown *legs*. We counted at least 13 of these

globs. It really freaked my husband out. Is this the die-off we keep

reading about? He also has a pretty nasty diaper rash as of today.

Any support/advice at this point would really help! We're trying to

hang in there!
