Re: Liquid diets,and Is this what they mean by not having bowel disease?

[Guest guest]

Hello,

  My son uses a meal replacement in the morning because he will not eat

anything when he first gets up and he is on the bus by 7:00am. My nutritionist

recommened we use a meal replacement drink and gave us information on Neocate

Junior. Unfortunately, , this  will not work for you because you are an

adult but I thought others might like to know. It is free of casien, gluten,

wheat, soy, nuts etc. My son loves the chocolate. It can be very expensive about

$130 for four cans (size of a normal formula can), but I have found companies on

E-bay that sell the same product for almost half the cost. It has made his

mornings getting ready for school much easier.

  You can also get it paid from your insurance if your child has certain

diagnoses which the Neocate webite helps explain.

  I work at special needs clinic and they use this brand for kids g-tubes also.

You can check with them and see if they have something for adults.

I had an appointment with my DAN! yesterday.One thing I learned was the result

of the CT scan I had had of my GI tract.He ordered it after I had a number of

severe episodes, especially at night with fever.

It seems I have a lot of evidence of longterm inflammation. ..

HOWEVER,it does not fit into any of the standard inflammation patterns of

inflammatory bowel disease.It's a lot more generalized. Nor do I have any 

immunological signs of autoimmune disease in my blood,yet I also have rheumatic

heart and joint disease.

We were hoping to use this as a way to get me started on IVIG or hyperbarics,

which isn't going to happen.

One thing we both agreed on was that I ought to go off all solid foods for the

foreseeable future,both for my bowels,and because I am still having autism

related food reactions,but we can't figure out why.

I have had no food for five days,not only am I not hungry,but I now feel the

closest I have ever been to recovered from my autism.

My doctor had not recommended a product,but this

was one of the first things I found when looking around.

What do you think about using stuff like this as your primary source of

nutrition?

I personally would never use a chemical medical food concoction, especially not

a soy based one. My daughter is fed through a feeding tube and docs prescribe

formulas for this, but I have chosen to use a vitamix blender to make the foods

she would be eating if she was orally fed into a liquid to go through her

feeding tube. She thrives on this. I take care to ensure that her foods taste

good and have complete nutrition because she does taste her foods. I don't use

milk, soy, corn, eggs or oranges for her, but otherwise use the food pyramid to

make her plan using hemp, almond, potato or rice milk instead of milk. Her

dietician is pleased with her nutrition. I will occasionally use her blend as a

smoothie for myself and it is quite yummy. You could choose the foods that

combat inflammation and infinitely change what doesn't work for you.

I just discovered that " Soy Delicious " makes Coconut Milk that is the closest

thing to tasting like cows milk that I have come across. The brand name is

changed to " So Delicious. " I bought it at a Bloom grocery store in their health

food section.

If this is working for you, I think you should continue, but be careful about

developing an allergy to the soy milk. Maybe your inflammation will settle over

time and you can slowly reintroduce solid food. It can only be agood sign that

your autistic symptoms have subsided.

How would you do with homemade clear organic chicken broth or perhaps the SCD

raw goats milk yogurt?

I use Rice Milk for my kids and myself and add a protein powder to it. It works

great for us and mixes well with a spoon and about a 5 sec fairly vigorous stir.

soy,but I have been mixing my meal replacement with Silk the past couple of no

food opiate issues.
