Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Debbie, sorry to hear about your scare, but let me tell you about my Daughter who is now 22 years old, she has soft signs of mito, but starting when whe was 16, she was having what we were told by the ER were panic attacks, but panic attacks can feel like a heart attack there is no real pain associated with it, tightness of chest yes, but not real pain, she would also black out, couldnt breath, pain in her left arm, then numbness in her face,, neck and arm, we later found out when she was 20, these were not panic attacks at all, and yes this can be mito related, it is call Mitrol Valve Prolapse, and yes all the heart monitoring can come back normal. This is a valve that every now and then gets stuck closed and blood is not flowing to brain, which would make your arm go numb and have pain , chest tighting, eyes get blurry, (she says its like bubble vision), also it mimics syptoms of a panic attack, but is not a panic attack. And when the valve opens again there is no signs of heart problem. an episode can last my daughter for a few seconds to minutes to a hour, so the ER always missed diagnosed her, it was only during an episode at her family doctors office that they found this. Caffeine is a contributor and she cannot sleep on her left side, as this also causes episodes, and she cannot take medications with caffeine in it. You can live fine with mitrol valve prolapse, once you are aware of it and know what to do, and with a cardiologist care. If you feel that the episode you had was not a panic attack, please consult your mito doc and cardiologist about your heart and possible mitrol valve prolaspse or other heart related, mito problems that could have cause your episode. I hate to say i hope it was just a panic attack, but if it was not better find out now so you can better deal with it next time.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 ARe you taking digestive enzymes? I know when my little boy had eczema, they really helped. He could eat some things that would ordinarily cause a rash, but when he took digestive enzymes he was fine. Houston enzymes work well for chidren.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi Marilyn, She is not currently on digestive enzymes, but I guess I will call our nutritionist on Monday to ask for a recommended dosage. I have Houston enzymes in the house because my other two children take them. Do you have recommendations on how to feed her while I wait for Monday to roll around?

Did she eat carrots before starting SCD? If yes, did she eat > them as " coins " or pureed? Back in September we had our first DAN visit because, in addition to leaky gut, Elle has heavy metal toxicity (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadium, antimony, bismuth poisoning). Our DAN works closely with a nutritionist who is pro-SCD. Prior to this visit, Elle's bowels were formed, of varying colors (depending on what she ate), and not of a particularly strong odor. She did eat pureed carrots, but they were organic, jarred, baby food bought at the store. After our visit with our doctor we worked our way into an SCD menu but we didn't begin with the intro diet. She began having more and more loose bowels at this time. We also began her on diflucan and weaned her to nystatin to fight the yeast because we are also chelating her. Would she still be having a die-off reaction if she has been on these anti-fungals for months now? We had our second appointment with our DAN on Nov. 28. At that time, we were able to see what her metabolic issues were and the nutritionist said to do SCD, beginning with the intro. diet. We began the intro. 9 days ago, and you know the rest. So to answer your question . . . prior to SCD her bowels were formed (although she was probably passing undigested pureed food since the color varied). However, prior to the intro. diet of SCD her stools were already diarrhea with undigested food. > The yellow diarrhea and lack of stool does seem to corrrespond with > die off symptoms.

Would she still be having a die-off reaction if she > has been on these anti-fungals for months now? Yes, it could still be some die off and certainly if you are still chelating. It sounds as if it may be a good idea to puree or at least mash her food (vegetables and fruit) for a little while longer. This will make it easier for her to digest and leave less for any microbes you are trying to starve. We had our second > appointment with our DAN on Nov. 28.

The epsom salts help with detoxification. There is a great explanation at http://www.enzymestuff.com/epsomsalts.htm#1 I need to be careful that she > doesn't get more magnesium since she already has a diarrhea issue. > Will the epsom salts help her bowels to be more formed? Since the die off may be at the root of her diarrhea the epsom salt baths may help clear it up. If concerned just strt with a small amount maybe 1/2 cup in the bath tub - (don't let her drink the water). > > No, you should start to add more foods (best to stick to easy to > > digest ones: cooked peeled (deseeded if necessary) fruits and > > vegetables.)

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 I would try and slow down on the cheese....lots of people find that cheese is a diet buster and will cause them to stall. I am not sure how big your salads are but I am wondering if you are getting in your 4,5 cups of veggies a day? Besides that....you look to be doing awesome. And don't forget you are working out and may be converting some of that fat to muscle. MB Re: Please help Thank you so much Carol and Pam. I really need this kind of support right now. I don't really have much of a support group besides my wonderful boyfriend who is a chef and is making things pretty easy for me, dinner wise! lol! I guess my time of the month does usually fluctuate me, and I promise I will stop weighing myself so much... Guess old habits are hard to break, huh? Carol, that's a good idea about posting my diet and exercise, I didn't realize that people would go that far to help and give me some advice. Here goes: Breakfast - 3 eggs scrambled or hard boiled and either turkey bacon, canadian bacon, or low fat turkey sausage and coffee w/ sweet and low and skim milk. Snack 1 - two stalks of celery with either peanut butter or low fat south beach or laughing cow spread (one triangle) and water. Lunch - Salad with some type of meat, either chicken, ground sirloin or turkey bacon. I use romaine, cucumbers, green pepper, salt, pepper, garlic, no dressing. This is a really big salad, by the way. and water. Snack 2 - three low fat mozzerella string cheese or two turkey roll ups and water. I have a cup of decaf tea around 1:00 with sweet and low and skim milk Snack 3 - (after I work out) two low fat mozzerella sticks. Dinner - Salad (romaine, cucumber, pepper, salt and pepper) Either grilled chicken, sirloin steak, pork tenderloin, turkey breast or fish. I'll have either broccoli and cauliflower, braised radishes or fennel, turnips, asparagus, lima beans, black beans, (i had green peas one night till I realized they weren't okay to have) I can't recall what other veggies I have..oh...edemame, too. Dessert - sugar free jello cup or a couple of sugar free ice pops (only 15 cals. ea.) I work out five times a week. I begin with stretching, then do 40 minutes on hill climb on the eliptical machine. Then I do the full circuit of weight training, arms, chest, shoulders, back, legs, glutes, abs. I've only started this routine for a week, but I really enjoy it. I'm also trying to hit some classes for sculpting. Someone told me to make sure to use weights so that I stregthnen my muscles while losing weight. But since I just started, I assumed I wouldn't have gained any muscle weight yet. So, please, fellow SBDers, let me know what you think. You are all such a valuable resource to me right now...Thank you. Melody " To thine own self be true " --------------------------------- Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 LOL I am so bad I chug vitamin D fat milk right out of the jug when no one is looking... I know I know I am ashamed... But it's just a couple chugs and it hasn't stopped my weightloss. I feel like a naughty little kids.. Only a 236 lb kid. Nikki ><((((º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·...¸><((((º>¸..·´¯`·.¸¸><((((º> ¯`·.¸.><((((º>`·.¸¸.><((((º>¸.·´¯`·.<º))))><. Go Against The Flow! Blog Me Baby! -- Re: Re: Please help I think you are doing awesome. Great going on the exercise and food plan. Do you have the updated list of foods to enjoy? It has skim milk and yogurt on it. You are allowed 2 cups of either skim or 1% milk or plain low fat yogurt. The only thing I can see is that sometimes too much cheese can be a diet buster. It is for me, I guess cuz of the sodium so I can't have too much of it. It also constipates me. I noticed I can have a weight gain if I eat too much cheese. I think you should stick to your program and just have more patience. The other thing I didn't mention is that weightloss also has a lot to do with age, metabolism, and how much weight you have to lose. The older we get, the slower our weightloss will be, and if you don't have " that " much to lose (20 pounds or so), the weightloss will be a lot slower. Everyone is different in their amount of weightloss. Since you loss so much right at the beginning, your body could be catching up. Make sure to take your measurements, too, cuz you will OFTEN find that you will lose with your measurements but not on the scale. Your clothes and the tape measure will probably be a better indicator than the scale, specially if you are working out. Carol princess melody wrote: > Thank you so much Carol and Pam.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Thanks everyone for the responses so far! I am learning so much. I'm going to cut back on the cheeses for a bit, wait a week for the 'bloat' to go away, stick with the exercising, and be patient. I am pretty certain I'm getting 4 or 5 cups of veggies, but it may be that I'm eating tons more of them than ever before! I'll double check that, thank you! Well, my starting weight is 142 and my target is 110. So maybe my weight won't come flying off like I hoped? I'm trying to make my body toned and strong while I'm losing so that I won't have to start doing it later! I guess that's active procrastination! Please, please keep the tips and comments coming. You have no idea how much this is helping me, not to mention the warm fuzzy feeling of you all taking time out to help and reassure me.... Thank you!

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 Oh, I'm below average height! Just almost 5'0! Normaly, 110 looks healthy and curvy on me. I am short and small boned, but still pear shaped, which is fine with me! I happen to like that. Untill I quit smoking I was usually pretty slender. Now I just have to work hard to get back there....

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 > As I understand in the SBD book it says the use of eggs is > unlimited???? Am I wrong about this?? Last I read on the oh-fishy-all site, eggs were limited to 7 a week -- one of many contradictions within the diet, especially since the food to enjoy list for P1 says eggs are unlimited unless restricted by a doctor. As you'll note from the what I said in the other post, I don't put much stock in the one a day limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
