Guest guest Posted February 13, 2002 Report Share Posted February 13, 2002 I reluctantly used Ensure for several days before my last surgery, reluctantly because I did not care for the taste, but I think it helped.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Judy, If the doc means FULL-liquids then you can have soups, milkshakes etc. I have a liquid protein drink that I use called Spiru-Tein. You could blend it up in the blender with a banana like someone else said. I think soups are your best bet. If the doc says CLEAR-liquids then it can only be stuff like Jell-O, bullion, clear soups, etc. I would double check if I were you.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2002 Report Share Posted February 14, 2002 Hi Judy: May I suggest you contact the dietitian at the hospital for information on what you can and cannot have prior to your surgery. They are a great source for recommending what you can have. I was given a list of things I could have. I found that most helpful as I went through the phases just before and post surgery. There is a difference in what is recommended for liquid and clear liquids. Warmest Regards, Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2002 Report Share Posted February 17, 2002 Dear Judy: Do ask your doctor for specific examples on what to eat and drink and what not. Before a scope, my doctor told me to drink anything without pulp or other “floating stuff” which could stay in the esophagus. I could eat or drink only CLEAR liquids: Boost, Ensure or similar energy drinks, clear juices (like apple juice), clear broth (without parsley flakes or stuff floating in there), milk, milkshakes (just milk and ice-cream, no strawberry pieces or other particles), jell-o, puddings. Plan ahead what you want to eat or drink these 2 days. Than call your doctor and double check if it is OK. I got tired of all the sweet juices, boosts and milkshakes (for the calories and nutrition), so make sure you get also some salty stuff like chicken broth and beef broth. With the best wishes, Tanja E-mail: tbeshear@... _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2002 Report Share Posted February 18, 2002 I called the doctor's assistant and asked her to clarify the liquid diet 48 hours prior to surgery. She said only liquids with no food particles in it. I will do broths, clear jello (no red)and Ensure. I've never had Ensure but I know I don't like it. lol Also, apple juice sounds good. Thanks for all the advice, comments, etc. I love this board because I get more answers here than at the doctor's office. (I do check with the doctor though on issues that could be controversial) judy > > IM JUST CURIOUS WHY A LIQUID DIET. I HAD THE SURGERY I DIDNT HAVE TO DO > > TTHAT.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 , I was interested in seeing that you had the surgery in 2000. How has your experience been since then? I had surgery last June and still have noticeable difficulty swallowing when I eat, although not nearly as bad as before the surgery. I don't know if the fact I had no peristalsis in the esophagus is a factor or not. I will appreciate hearing from you. Thanks, Don __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 Happy New Year to All: I understand exactly what is saying about the ride in the ambulance to ER. I found myself in a similar situation in the earlier stages of my "A" diagnosis. I was home alone on night, had horrible, excruciating, terrible "gas" pains. I wallowed on the floor, jumped up and down, paced, prayed, did every conceivable thing I could think of to get rid of the pain. All to no avail. I went to the kitchen trying to find more medication, anything I could get my hands on, and I too found myself on the floor. I had passed out from the pain! Long story short ...(it has been written here before) I had my myotomy in September of 2001 and have not looked back. , there is a book out called "Smoothies" that I found to be useful in making drinks. Also I put instant mashed potatoes in with bullion. For some reason the properties in instant potatoes are more digestible than regular potatoes. Wishing all of you/us who suffer from this disease comfort and relief in 2002. That thought bring me to another point. If one has had the surgery or whatever (dilation, botox, etc.) and are now not suffering, are we be considered ex "A'rs" or is it ... Once an "A" always an "A"?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2003 Report Share Posted January 2, 2003 , Welcome to the group.As for the pains been their done that!You have my sympathy.When your doctor mentioned that your " E " Was not to dilated what this means is that your " E " has not stretched to much(Believe me this a good thing)What happens is that as your " A " progresses your " E " can sometimes become a food pouch and stretch to accommodate the food that can not go down,So by it not being to dilated really does help when you have your Hellers(I could not believe how large mine had stretched last time I had a Barium swallow test done.To be honest it was quite frightening) As for your anxiety about having the procedure done this is only human but I have had it and although it was unsuccessful the operation and recovery really was not that bad and is less painful than the later stages of " A " So my advice would be to have it done whilst you have caught it at an early stage. Keep us all posted and the best of luck our thoughts are with you. Take care .

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2003 Report Share Posted January 4, 2003 , I am intolerant to lactose, sucrose and possibly maltose, all double sugars. I believe the intolerances may have been caused by bromide poisoning, at least, the intolerances followed a 7 year bout of bromism. Gas in the adomen was very painful. The GI tract was very inflammed and parts of the tract would adhere together trapping the gas in between. Massage of the abdomen, rolling on the floor, vibrator, etc would eventually break one of the adhesions releasing the gas to escape either up or down. When the bromism was discovered it took two months to lower the bromide level to a safe level and then another two months to discover lactose intolerance, and another two months to discover sucrose intolerance. And a total of about a year to reduce the GI inflammation to safe levels. I believe my achalasia started at about the same time. I was addicated to sugar and it took about two months to get over my addication. I avoid any sugar, or sugar subsitute, to avoid developing a craving for sugar. In my particular case I avoid any acid foods to control my achalasia and I take tums, plus 10 minuites of mild hyperventilation, to bring my blood into the alkaline side which thens opens up my cardia valve at the bottom of the esophogus. Some people may be too alkaline and they may require an acid (cola syrup), others may require a medication (arginine) that connects blocked nerves.

Guest guest Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 I use Slimfast every few weeks just for added nutrition it seems to work. Also I use a product called MELTLETS for pain relief,I don't know about the rest of you but if I had a headache or another pain I would take regular pain killers but could not swallow them and they would come back up after a little while.With this product they are self-dissolving tablets and they come in different flavours and contain Ibuprofen.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2003 Report Share Posted January 6, 2003 I drank Slim-Fast all the time... tastes better than Boost and Ensure (to me, at least) and is cheaper and available in a wider variety of flavors. The nutritional value of Slim-Fast is the same as Boost and Ensure. Debbi Re: Re: Liquid Diet The ensures were kind of thick for me too LOL.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hi Jan Thanks for that, really appreciate your advice did you get Fortisip on prescription or can you buy it at the chemist I have been to Tesco this morning and found Complan but I don't like milkshakes or Hot chocolate so thats out. I have brought some more angel delights and custarts and some childrens multi vitamins. I now weigh in at about 6 stone 3lb so I have managed to put a pound on since Weds but I should hope so I hadn't eaten anything for nearly three days. I don't know if you have been following my messages on the site but I went for the barium on Wednesday and that was a real saga the radiographer asked me to lay face down on the table and he started to tilt it downwards well the barium started to come back up again and they had to stop. He said going on the barium x-rays I have a very excesive rolling hiatus hernia that has gone through my diaphrame and up along my E and is narrowing my E and need an urgent operation to bring down the stomach back into position. So I have had an ultrasound that says Hiatus Hernia, an endoscopy that says Achalasia and a Barium that say excessive hernia going very high up into my chest that must have been there for a good few years. Have been told I need to go for a CT scan I am waiting for an appointment for the consultant should be in the next 2 weeks but the way they were talking on Weds maybe sooner rather that later.

Anyway, I started adding coconut oil to the egg drinks and I have been running to the bathroom all day. ==>Coconut oil can cause diarrhea in some people because it helps your body clean out toxins; the body creates diarrhea to clean out toxins. But you should start on a low dose and only gradually increase it to minimize symptoms.

The rash is very inflamed as well. ==>Coconut oil is one of the simpliest foods you can ever eat. It requires no digestive enzymes or bile for the body to absorb it and it goes directly through the lymph system into the bloodsteam. Your rash being inflamed is not a bad thing; the body not only detoxifies through the skin but it also externalizes healing to the skin in order to protect vital inner organs. Apply coconut oil to soothe it but let it do it's thing. Inflammation means the body is sending more blood to the area to help it heal. > I surprisingly feel good though. Lots of energy and happy.

It is good to hear from you. You can safely stay on that kind a liquid diet a couple of weeks, sometimes more. You can start adding pureed cooked foods anytime, and then gradually add more solids.
