Re: Intestinal Problems From Long Term HC Use?

[Guest guest]

Maybe it stirs up/worsens candida issues since sugar/carbs disrupts cortisol

function. A few of us have been talking about this lately. But I don't have

any pain in my abdomen.

Hi all,

I'm having a lot of pain, sometimes dull, sometimes sharp, in my

lower right side abdomen. It's too far low to be the appendix.

Someone mentioned today to me that long term steroid use can cause

good bacteria to die off in the large intestine and can cause

inflammation, sensitivity to certain foods, and pain, even infection

if not taken care of.

Does anyone else know if this is true?? I've been having pain there

for about 2.5 months, slowly but steadily getting worse.

When I eat certain protein foods now, I have a LOT of pain there and

get short of breath and feel weak all over. Has my long term use of

HC ruined my good bacteria or whatever in there??

I've been on 17.5 mg. of HC for 9 months now - was planning to start

weaning next week to see if my adrenals can take up the slack now.

Am going to the Dr. tomorrow and will request an x-ray of the area

to see what we can see from that. I had my right ovary taken out in

February and sometimes from the poking feeling I get that hurts I

wonder if some instrument was left in there LOL! An x-ray will tell

that for sure - need to make sure that's not it.

Anyway, does anyone know anything about long term steroid use and

intestinal problems?

Thanks

the amount of HC you are taking si not going to hurt you. I took

20 MG for 10 months and 30 MG for another 10 months and it did not cause

any superinfecitons. The doses they are speaking of are more like 60MG

daily. Or higher which are given to control asthma or arthritis

inflammation. not the tiny dose we take. It COULD be adrenal pain from

too low a dose of HC.

Ok thanks . I feel much less worried now.

We'll see what the x-rays show tomorrow.

Did u ever wean off your HC successfully? I remember a few months

back you tried but your adrenals weren't quite ready yet. How are

you doing on that?

Hi Sammie, how do you find out if you have candida issues?

Would I have that since I don't eat sugar?

Well, I don't eat candy or soda or sweets. Some things have a bit of

sugar in them naturally like tomato sauce or whatever though. So

it's a tiny amount of sugar in any case.

I have weaned down to 20MG a day and holding there as I am on all T3

meds. I did nto want to go off HC while I tried this treatment protocol.

It would likely be too much for newly healed afdrenals if I did wiht the

med swapping I have done in the last 2 months !

Hi ,

I'm not sure if these is accurate testing for it, but certain food allergies

tests may somewhat confirm it. I'm allergic to wheat, yeast, as well as 20

other foods. Usually if you start a low carb diet and get severe withdrawl

symptoms (headache, fatigue, dizziness) that gets better when you eat sugars,

usually this is pretty much proof.

It sounds like your diet isn't high in sugar/carbs, so maybe it is related to

your ovary......Anyways, I'm glad you are going in for an x-ray!

Yeah no kidding! How's the T3 therapy coming along?

I haven't ventured into it yet until I know my adrenals are healed.

Always coming up a bit low on T3 when tested though so I suppose

that's next on the plate to get going on.

I have been up and down on HC with T3 and since I have increased my T3 a

bit, I have not needed HC for 2 days, none!

Sometimes after a surgery, adhesions can develop and could

cause the kind of pain you are talking about.

But if it is only certain protein foods that cause the pain,

then I would think more about a reaction to that food.

>>Yeah no kidding! How's the T3 therapy coming along?<<

It is rough and bumpy! Some really good improvements especially in the

glucose but some real muscle weakness that I certainly was not

expecting, but what is happening is I actually went hyper and now an

reducing the Cytomel as it seems suddenly I need less. Which is exactly

what is supposed to happen, btu I sure wish it would level out somewhere

sooN!
