Guest guest Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I believe the thing that complicates candida is that even if the yeasties themselves are gone, your body develops an intollerance to all forms of yeast, mold, and fungi from trying to fight it for so long. That's why the diet is important, and really unavoidable for allowing your body time to recouperate from exposure. The intollerance does go away, but even in the absense of candida, there is no other way to recover from that part of it. The swollen tissues need time to recover, or they will react, causing yeast like symptoms even after the yeast is gone.

No hardcore evidence.. I'd believe it once people have tried this and have had it done.. Not once..but maybe 2 or 3 times.. And then see what the results are..

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2003 Report Share Posted May 18, 2003 No, this is not a theory of mine!! It's the reason on the yeast diet you can't eat foods that CONTAIN yeast (like vinegar or beer ~ the yeast used to make these substances is NOT the same as the yeast that is found in our intestinal tract. Also, it's NOT LIVING when you ingest it in these products, therefore it cannot produce symptoms unless it's because of a yeast intollerance!!!), or fungi like mushrooms. I must say, I'm a little disapointed at the level of intelligence & understanding on these lists. I've only known about this for a few months, and I know more about it than most of you people combined.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 One of the things in the early 80's that made me really THINK was a blurb I read in a Science Mag. about Lupus patients going into remission when they underwent dialysis. Since I was dx's with SLE - I tried to get my Dr. to try it - of course he thought I was nuts - EVEN THOUGH here was an article about it... the wonderment of it all.. I figured - all the crap in the blood was obviously a large component of many of the symptoms.. it wasn't just an immune system going awry for no reason.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Janelle: I have not dealt with that before gypass. However, I have some cases of dialysis after 3-10 years after gypass. (??? any correlation??), Unable to comment. For a dialysis pt. Is it recommended to have gastric bypass??? Very uncommon, very unlike. Would that be to reduce wt to be approved for transplant? It is hard to answer a general question. This will require very especific information about the patient and the rationale for gastric bypass. If I can help. Let me know.

Guest guest Posted May 22, 2007 Report Share Posted May 22, 2007 I read the posts every day but have never posted to this web site before. I'm feeling a little stressed so thought some support might be nice. I had my MGB just over 2 years ago and had lost 159 pounds going from a size 22/24 to a 4. I have gained 8-10 pounds in the last couple of weeks and am now in a size 6 which is good as everyone was telling me I was too thin. I couldn't hear that enough but when my Dr said no more I realize I had lost a little too much. My nephrologist said I have probably gained weight because the dialysis has taken the toxins out of my system and I feel better so am eating more. Hopefully it will stabilize and I won't gain any more, I am currently at goal weight, but have been really hungry lately which usually I have to force myself to eat. I'm freaking out a little as I keep thinking what happens if I don't stop gaining. Unfortunately I recently had some devastating news and found out the reason why I had suddenly dropped 12 pounds 26 months post-op was because my kidneys had started to shut down and I am now on dialysis 3 times a week for 3 hours a time. It is such a drag. The Dr. still doesn't know fully what caused my kidney problems and are guessing at this point. I worry now having had the MGB as there are dialysis and kidney rules that over rule MGB rules now, e.g.: I'm limited to 1 liter of fluid a day which is really hard. My guess is that there isn't any one else out there post MGB on dialysis but thought it was worth a try if so please contact me. I at least have my anemia (caused by the kidney problems) under control. I get iron & Procrit through my dialysis and it has improved greatly. I have had blood transfusions but only because I had hip & breast surgery and had too much blood loss. I was booked to go to Ireland and England to see family before all the kidney problems arose and thankfully after thinking I was going to have to cancel have managed to set up dialysis over there and have permission from my Dr's to still go. I fly out on May 30th. I haven't seen my family in 7 years. This is actually my biological family. I was adopted at birth, grew up in England and immigrated here in 1978 with my family when I was 12. I found my biological family 10 years ago and have had a good experience with that. My biological dad paid for my MGB for which I am eternally grateful. My MGB experience has been great and wouldn't change that for all the money in the world. I have had such good results it just really sucks now I feel great and am told look great that I have to worry about dialysis and kidney transplant. By the way any one on a plateau I lost really slow the first year and lost over a 3rd of my total weight loss the latter part of year 2. It was frustrating at the time to read all the posts of such great weight loss in the first few months post-op by some MGB patients but it does eventually come off, just be patient. I guess its one more obstacle to face and one day at a time to do so, thanks for reading.

Outside of having the MGB, I cannot relate to what you're probably going through; but my first husband was/is a brittle diabetic and was on dialysis for 2+ yrs before receiving a kidney transplant by the age of 33. I am happy to report that he is still alive and well, at the age of 47. I can tell you that it is very difficult to be a helpless onlooker when someone you love dearly is in such a health crisis; and I know it doesn't compare to what you are experiencing firsthand. May God bless. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Best regards, Patty A 5'3 " , 253/144/??? 8/25/03, MGB, Stsvl, Drs.
