a question

[Guest guest]

good points on the water - most people are 'camped out' in front of

their meals with a huge bottle of soda pop - just " think " what THAT does!

Re: Re: a question

Hi ,

Just to answer one of your questions: about the water thing.

Having water with meals is like putting out a fire in our digestive system.

When you have water with food, it stops the digestive processes from kicking

in. So, have water one hour after eating and 30mins before eating. If you

have water with food: all that happens is the food sits in your stomach and

'ferments' which makes you feel terrible.

I know, its hard to get your head around the amount of water - but I usually

work it so I have some water in the morning (not a lot in one sitting

though) then 30mins later I have breakfast. I find I can stretch myself a

couple of hours after breakfast before I need to have some more water : or

if I'm still hungry I will have the water first and then wait 30mins etc.

Goes like this through most of the day.

The weird thing is, I used to have some kind of juice out of the bottle

after tea. My husband, who doesn't have the candida thing would never do

this: even when I offered him a drink. He just knows instinctively to

'wait'. Pity I can't make him eat better food than he does: although he is

getting mostly organic fruit and veges and meat without knowing it!

Hope this answers your question.

I do have major problems with my blood sugar skyrocketing and plummeting

(mostly the latter, though). I guess I’ve just eaten so much sugar for so

long that I’ve really thrown my levels out of whack. I have had a

glucose-tolerance test done; no hypoglycemia, no hyperglycemia, no diabetes.

I’m “normal”. I beg to differ. (c: , you said to get chromium. Is

this chromium picolinate (sp?), or something else? Also, someone said to

not drink liquids with meals. I did this and noticed an immediate

difference. Does anyone know why this matters? And how do you work

drinking lots and lots of water around eating so frequently? Also, are

those candida or yeast-free cookbooks any good? If so, which ones would

anyone suggest? I’m sorry for all the questions. I’m trying to start

working on a meal plan and I don’t really know too much about it. Also, I

know that those with candida are supposed to stay away from fruit, but I was

thinking about using fruit in the beginning to help balance out my sugar

levels through the worst of it, and then tapering off the fruit. I know

that I have to stay away from wheat, oats (I completely relate, , if I

eat it I have lie down b/c I’m too weak to stand1) corn, potatoes, sugar,

and vinegar. I’m not sure about brown rice or things like rice noodles, or

“alternative grains”. But I didn’t know that out-of-whack sugar levels

caused depression and anxiety. These are huge problems for me, as well. So

much to do, so much to do. (c: I’m so glad that I’ve found this loop. I

thought I was just nuts before. Thank you so much!

Is he off all gluten as well as milk products? Can he tolerate

yogurt? It is by some accounts lactose free due to the process of

making it. It is easy to make from lactose free milk as well.

If he has no symptoms at all............why continue abx? I say, quit abx,

and see what happens......perhaps his immune system is keeping it

suppressed.........as long as he isn't having any symptoms........I can't

see continuing abx.........

Remember tests are not 100% accurate, what's to say he isn't getting false

positives now........stop the abx...........if he starts having symptoms,

then I would think about switching abx...

Thanks Connie, I do think this is what we will do. About his tests

though, he tested + by 3 separate labs and 3 separate blood draws and on

WBlot, PCR and Erisa ( or is that E? sheeeesh)

Dear Glitter,

Here is Dr. Rossby's answer to the serotonin level question. Yes, my son

was tapering from Prozac under the directions of his psychiatrist - who

expressed that he was surprised that would have the violence problem

that he did.

Suzi,

I think you told me that your son was withdrawing from the Prozac at the time he lost control. Second, Prozac and the other SSRI drugs have been shown to reduce violence in mental hospitals and prisons but they don't eliminate it. All they really do (so far as we know) is increase the serotonin activity in the brain which in turn enhances self-control. If the impulse is strong enough it can overwhelm all of the brain's inhibitory systems with or without Prozac. Why was your son withdrawing from the Prozac? Was he perhaps withdrawing too fast? Was he taking any other drugs? Keep in mind that low serotonin does not produce violence. It reduces a person's capacity to control impulses including violence, suicide, fire setting, gambling, binge eating, etc., etc. The capacity for violence must already be present. Something usually "triggers" the violence and the serotonin deficiency indicates that the sys!

tems necessary to control the violence were impaired or non-existent. It is like a forest fire out of control or an electrical storm. Perhaps the Prozac had been sufficient for self-control for two years but was suddenly overwhelmed.

[Guest guest]

Dear Kathy,

I don't have any answers on " Iron excess, " but I read two very interesting

articles this morning that I thought might be of interest to you. Both were in

the Summer 2002 issue of " Living Without, " a magazine for people with food and

chemical sensitivities. You immediately came to mind when I read these because

you have done so much hard work for your children!

One article was about Marie Boldt, known as the " Soup Lady " in Oak Park, IL.

She is someone who will be profiled in a documentary on public television's

P.O.V., July 16, 2002, EST, called " Refrigerator Mothers: A Film. " She talked

about how learning to cook foods for her nutritionally sensitive son with autism

led to a business that supports both of them.

The second article was about jazz pianist, Savage, a 9-year-old musical

savant who lives in Boston. has been diagnosed with PDD, and his

parents found that a gluten and casein-free diet helps tremendously. One

interesting annotation to the article explained how the proteins in gluten and

casein sensitive people are not broken down properly and create opiates which

affect brain function. It also explained that many autistic children crave

these very foods because they become addicted to the opiates they create.

This is probably information you already know, but it was news to me! I have

had to adopt a gluten-free diet over the past couple of years, and am also

dairy-free, except for yogurt. I never knew about the significance of casein as

it related to brain function, nor of the opiate affect both gluten and casein

can have on the brain. My illness has certainly been an education!

I just wanted to pass this information on to you to add to your already

extensive archives, if you don't already have it. Also, the " Living Without "

magazine has been helpful to me, and I hope it will be to you, too.

Best wishes,

Carrol

Hi ,

How should this medicine be used?

Levothyroxine comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It

usually is taken as a single dose before breakfast

every day. To control the symptoms of hypothyroidism,

you probably will need to take this medicine for the

rest of your life. It may take about 2 weeks before

you notice any change in your symptoms. Follow the

directions on your prescription label carefully, and

ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you

do not understand. Take levothyroxine exactly as

directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it

more often than prescribed by your doctor.

Continue to take levothyroxine even if you feel well.

Do not stop taking levothyroxine without talking to

your doctor.

What special dietary instructions should I follow?

Levothyroxine may cause an upset stomach. Take

levothyroxine with food or milk.

Ron,

Where did you get this information? The label on the bottle of my

medication (which is a brand of levothyroxine) says to take it on an

empty stomach. Taking it with food or milk can interfere with

absorption and result in a person not getting the full dose.

Calcium does affect Armour. I don't know personally

about levothyroxine. I guess

It looks like what they're saying is that IF the medication causes

nausea then it could be taken with food or milk. When you take it out

of context as you did it could be taken to have an entirely different

meaning. I don't think I've ever heard of anyone having nausea from

taking a levothyroxin preparation, but apparently it does happen.

Ron,

Out of context compeletely! What you quoted does not appear anywhere

on the page with the URL that you referenced. Here's what DOES appear

there:

" How should this medicine be used?

Levothyroxine comes as a tablet to take by mouth. It usually is taken

as a single dose before breakfast every day. To control the symptoms

of hypothyroidism, you probably will need to take this medicine for

the rest of your life. It may take about 2 weeks before you notice

any change in your symptoms. Follow the directions on your

prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to

explain any part you do not understand. Take levothyroxine exactly as

directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than

prescribed by your doctor.

Continue to take levothyroxine even if you feel well. Do not stop

taking levothyroxine without talking to your doctor. "

,

For breakfast I mix the following in a bowl:

about 1-1/2 Tbsp. Grape Nuts

about 1/2 cup rolled oats (uncooked)

1 heaping Tbsp. ground flax seed

1 scoop Designer Whey protein powder (Vanilla flavor)

1/2 cup nonfat plain yogurt

1/2 cup lowfat milk

1 piece of fruit (usuallly banana or mango), sliced

I just stir it all up and chow down! No cooking involved. I eat this

every day unless it's a special occasion or I'm on vacation with no

kitchen.

Best wishes,

Celeste

HELLO: For my breakfast i ate today 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 cup of milk, 2 cups

of water, diet sugar, half tea-spoon of salt, and cinamon all cooked. well I

will try a little bit of fruits ;-)

Thank you for telling me, i think oatmeal makes u young too

PS: I am not gonna exercise everyday coz then my metabolic rate would get

too high which is already high with the thyroxin med we take. I think 3

times a week of walking is ok

(tha's just my individual theory though)
