Re: Digest Number 4659

[Guest guest]

Trying to understand how to post something. I live on Long Island, New York.

As it has gotten cold, I am getting more short of breath from the cold.

Today I could take the scarf off from covering my nose/mouth.

It was milder.

I even react to mild cold.

As I read what everyone says, it is consoling that others understand. Thanks.

Candida (yeast) is a type of fungus. This website has a lot of info, including about diagnosis and treatment. http://www.fungusfo cus.com/html/ fungus_general_ info.htm SlatsFrom: "willothewispl@ yahoo.com" <willothewispl@ yahoo.com> >Subject: Re: Bloating >Date: November 6, 2011 5:51:34 PM EST >To: "asthmayahoogroups (DOT) com" <asthmayahoogroups (DOT) com> >This e-mail has been sitting on another page here on my e-mail, I just read it. I have been wondering myself if the Prilosec I take is making my stomach worse. So reading this below here, is amazing, all of the problems I have been having. And It just seems to get worse and worse with time. I have been thinking it is the water pill I take occasionally, I have a lot of problems taking meds, that is the new one, and I have to be very careful when I take it, I have to eat so much, and take it, and then eat some more, because otherwise I get really sick, and my gastritis acts up, I have been swelling up, and that is why they gave it to me, maybe I can take something else. But, again more pills, I have been

doing everything I can to avoid more pills, and it is interesting to read that you are eating the same way I am. I have finally given up meat. It always makes me sick. It has been coming on for a year or so now, I have been eatingless and less. I eat fish, nuts, beans, all greens, veggies, fruits, good grain breads, cut out a lot of dairy, I have a dairy allergy so was already doing that, am drinking almond milk. Cut out using all of the margarine, and fats, still eat some cheese, and use egg substitute due to high cholesterol, use only canola oil, tried olive, but it made me really sick. I have been making a morning green drink, and what a difference it has made in me. I don't usually want all of the processed box food, and meat like I used to eat. But I do allow myself some dark, good, chocolate occasionally. Eat lots of nuts, and fruits for dessert, bananas. Learning lots of new

eating ideas, mostly vegetarian, and I tried eating some things I used to eat, and they tasted awful, and I was also addicted to sweets, now they are too sweet, and I cannot eat them anymore, never thought I would be able to kick that habit, still fall now and then, but, training mytaste buds to eat differently, and it has worked. I never use salt, haven't for many years, but I ate some saltine crackers the other day, and couldn't finish them, way too salty, to think I always ate them, my goodness, what a difference in taste now.>>>>>___________ _________ _________ ___>From: Lynne Rosser <jlrosseryahoo (DOT) com>>To: "asthmayahoogroups (DOT) com" <asthmayahoogroups (DOT) com>>Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2011 9:51 AM>Subject: Re: Bloating>>> >I have stopped all oral meds and vitamins and my stomach is almost feeling back to normal, am mostly only eating plain no fat meats, veeggies and fruit, cereal, breads and pasta (watching sauces).

Also, if you are taking an inhaled combination drug that has both a long acting agent and a steroid in it increasing your dosage can increase your risk of adverse reactions as well as death. It can cause liver damage, lung damage and can cause cardiac arrhythmias if too large of an overdose occurs. Albuterol is definitely the safest med to increase during a flare up unless your doctor tells you otherwise...Ann

Hi all, following the discussions on nasal drips, has anyone been tested or examined for Rhinitis?In 2010 the World Health Organisation suggested that in the majority of asthmatics and those with COPD, Rhinitis should always be considered as a contributing factor. I believe their instructions to doctors is that all those with respiratory difficulties are `assumed' to have Rhinitis until tests prove otherwise. Rhinitis is often over looked as a `trigger' for asthma, but new research has indicated it is a common form of trigger and should always be considered, tested and treated in all patients & sufferers of asthma & COPD. I myself didn't discover that the reason my nose could `run' a marathon and attempted to do so for all of my young life, teenage years and well into my twenties!Finally, and just

by chance, a doctor picked up (sorry, no pun intended . .) on my shiny wet, runny nose and prescribed a steroid nasal inhaler. After a few weeks my nose was clear and dry for the first time in my life! I have little problem with rhinitis these days, but if it does flare up, or run down, which ever way you wish to look at it, I simply use the nasal thingy for a few days and it's cleared again. After mentioning the WHO recommendations to my GP, she also put my grandson on a nasal inhaler and his nose is now clear as well. It saved an awful lot of washing, especially the sleeves of shirts and jumpers . . . .! I don't know if rhinitis could be connected with a nasal drip, but to be honest it won't hurt to explore the possibility, even if just to eradicate it from the list of possibilities.Cheers, Mike (Chip) ChapmanCornwall.
