Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Kay, very interesting suggestions........good luck! Does your triplets eat together? and Tara do, I put them tray to tray in their high chairs for all three meals, that has helped Tara with eating different foods and using a spoon and drinking, although has the dreaded " sippy cup " and Tara has one with a straw. I have seen Tara look at and do the same thing while eating, amazing, I think, cause I could try to get her do something, and she won't, but if is doing it, she'll copy him..........just thought that might help ? Also, speech is mad that I'm not giving Tara a regular cup to drink out of, I know I should be practicing more in that department with her, but I just don't seem to have the time, or, I forget, she drinks so well out of a straw, I figure, at least the tongue is back and lips are perched for that, right?

Guest guest Posted May 14, 2001 Report Share Posted May 14, 2001 Kay, The suggestions given to you by the nutritionist are not the first that I have heard, there is a member in my multiples club who twins were born at 26 weeks (twin to twin transfusion), anyway she has been doing what your nutritionist suggested and then some. She even has to add rice cereal to her daughters bottle of milk. She adds oil to soup and other food right before she gets ready to serve it to the one that needs it. Tyler's special ed teacher and the counties speech therapist have suggested adding spices to the food, some children with downs syndrome eat better with spicery food. It appears that low tone can effect even the taste buds. As far as pink eye goes it is considered very contagious (sp?), however, everytime gets it the others do not. Pink eye can develop just from a kid rubbing there face with a running nose and getting some of the drainage into there eye. 's might be worse just due to the small tear ducts. Tyler gets what looks like pink eye however, it is usually just clogged tear ducts. Keep the eye ointment around for you at a later date, one they start preschool you might have more cases of it.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2001 Report Share Posted May 15, 2001 Kay, I was wondering, with eating so little, how much does she weigh? Sometimes I think I have the littlest baby around --at 18 months weighs only 17 pounds and is 28 inches! She eats pretty well though, she just wants to be tiny I guess. . . . Has always been a "lite" eater, or is this new? I'm glad the nutritionist had good ideas. They remind me of the ones I was given when trying to put on weight during my pregnancy (when I went on bed rest at 25 weeks, I had only gained 18 pounds). Casey, mom to (DS) and , 18 mo.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Dear , Anything you take should be passed by your doctors. While I am not saying one way or the other, I believe these doctors went to school for some reason and that is why they have the degrees and pay insurance in case they make a mistake. If these treatments offered by non professionals were of any value, the medical community would be using them. Just my two cents worth...

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 In a message dated 10/4/01 6:57:27 AM Pacific Daylight Time, stephwilcher@... writes: Vitamins won't be harmful to me like herbs would be right. Excessive intake of some vitamins (and minerals), in supplements and food, can be extremely harmful. This is especially true for people with liver disease. I've listed some examples of problems that can result from excessive vitamin use. Vitamin D and calcium supplements are generally advised for people with liver disease, but they can be damaging in excess. You might like to have Dr. Palmer's book, Hepatitis and Liver Disease handy as a reference. A nutritionist can be extremely helpful, but he or she has been trained to see disease through the lens of that specialty. Therefore, no matter how well meaning the nutritionist is, he or she will have a certain ingrained predisposition to see vitamin therapy has The Answer. Listen carefully to the nutritionist, and then check with your doctor. You absolutely must tell your doctor everything you're taking, or even if you're eating large amounts of a certain food. When I first began taking prednisone, I developed a craving for non-fat yogurt and was eating a great deal of it in addition to taking my prescribed calcium/vitamin D tablets. I happened to mention this to my doctor, who pointed out the very serious damage I could be doing to my kidneys through excessive total calcium intake. Vitamin A: 25,000-50,000 total intake of Vitamin A (from food sources and supplements combined) can lead to a liver disease that can cause cirrhosis. For this reason, Dr. Palmer's book says that people with advanced liver disease should not use Accutane and Retin-A (acne/wrinkle creams), as they are based on Vitamin A. Vitamin D: Very important to people with liver disease, but excessive amounts can cause dangerous deposits of calcium in the kidneys, heart, and blood vessels. Vitamin B3, niacin: In excess, damages the liver. Vitamin B6, pyridoxine: In excess, leads to nerve damage. Folate: In excess, blocks absorption of other vitamins.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 Hi Cheryl, I do believe that about the doctors. But she is licensed in what she does. She feels that doctors don't have any training in what the nutritionists do, which makes sense. They're taught to stop something from happening with drugs because they work with the drug companies and insurance companies. They always suppress things to keep other stuff from happening, but never work on repairing what's actually wrong. And a lot of what's going on in our bodies is caused by a lack of certain things which can be put back into our bodies through vitamins. I sounded very interesting and believable. I figure I'll try it for a few months (she said I should see results in 1-2 months), and if it doesn't work, oh well. It's worth a shot to me to have my body healthy with vitamins rather than taking drugs that I hate and have awful side effects and that can be bad in the long run. Just my thinking, but I'd like to hear what everyone thinks!! Thanks!!

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 , at the conference here in Las Vegas - we were warned by a nutritionist about megadoses of vitamins and told of some vitamins that could be detrimental to the liver in increased amounts. I don't have my notes here at work, but we were warned about heavy doses of Vitamin C and a few others. I still take modest supplements and a physician approved herb schizandra. I formerly followed a serious supplement and herbal regimen which I believe saved my life from a viral infection that is not considered survivable. However, shortly after I was diagnosed with AIH. My herbalists, Ron Teaguardins Dragon Herbs (perhaps the most knowledgeable and reputable in the country) will no longer prescribe for me while I am on my present drugs imuran, urso, coumoudin/warfarin, prilosec, etc. They say it is too dangerous with the drugs. Unfortunately, physicians and most nutritionists are very limited in their education and understanding. But I agree we are suffering from dis-ease and the real goal should be to make our systems work properly - not try to stop, shut down or poison the problem. Be well.

Guest guest Posted October 4, 2001 Report Share Posted October 4, 2001 I will be showing the list to my doctor. I don't want to replace the Prednisone with these vitamins. My doctor's goal is to bring me gradually off the prednisone if he can. So if these vitamins balance things out in my body, then that would make it easier for me to come gradually of the prednisone, which is what the doctors are trying to achieve anyway. But I will get in contact with my doctor. Thanks!! Philadelphia, PA >From: " Amber ..???..

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2001 Report Share Posted October 5, 2001 Debby, I'm sorry to hear about your father's death in 1996. The circumstances must have made it especially hard for all of you. Remember that most people with AIH, if treated with what's now considered conventional therapy, have normal life spans. Better treatments may come along someday with fewer side effects.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2002 Report Share Posted October 1, 2002 Steph... I am seeing a clinical nutritionist. . I don't know if I have made the correct choice or what, but where I live there is not much choice. I would have preferred to see a naturopath or a doctor who was into alternative medicine, but nothing like that here . He started me off with three different herbs, and will change them today when I go see him. My energy level has increased to the point I don't feel sick, but the constant vaginal burning is still there, and seems to be getting worse...His first visit and herbs which are of liquid nature like a tincture was $101.00. I will let you know what it is today, as he is starting me on kidney/bladder herbs today vs. waiting till the 16th of October, which will be my second visit. Gosh, I know where you are coming from. Wish I could be of more help. Diane M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Hi Francine. I'm not sure if I understand your comment on the Great Smokies test kit that your nutritionist gave you. Did you go ahead and complete the test, and have you had results confirming the candida? Or do you plan top just keep the test kit until you feel your allergies are more under control, and then submit the test for analysis? I'm only asking, because I have been wondering about getting more tests to eliminate the possibilities of other parasites contributing to my food allergies. I was thinking of asking my primary doctor to order a Great Smokies test for me. I haven't come across the NAET/BRT. Something else for me to read about! Kim M.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 2005 Report Share Posted April 24, 2005 Hello : Your husband sounds like so many of my family members and friends who cannot understand the concept of NOT having the ABILITY to swallow. I do not think, before I had Achalasia, I could understand it either. They honestly think they are offering constructive help, because they are trying to make a solution for something they do not understand. I knew everyone meant well, but some of the suggestions were unbelievable, and really resulted in me feeling they think I did something to cause this myself. Fortunately, with the help of my many friends on this board, I realized that I did nothing to cause this. Once you are able to keep food down, perhaps a nutritionist would be a good idea ... but, in my humble opinion, I do not believe it helps with the disease. It is a very difficult disease and we spend our lives explaining it. I hope things begin to go better for you.
