Naltrexone and its link to the opiates released when people eat Milk and Wheat.

[Guest guest]

Elsewhere, somebody mentioned about this. Has anybody been advised about any

dietary restrictions? Been told that their LDN may work a lot better if you go

on a gluten free, milk free diet?

I was wondring if anybody has had any medical advice about this side of things?

Or have you heard of it, but only in connection with the full dose of

Naltrexone, rather than the low dose that we take?

Does it depend on the sort of doctor you see, eg neurologist or immunologist and

perhaps they have different views?

Apparently there is talk about these foods creating opiates from the gut.

I have never had a clinical need to be gluten-free by the way. I like a drink of

milk but avoid it too near to when I take my LDN medication.

I am taking mine for ME/CFS by the way and it was a private ME doctor who

prescribed it and there was no mention of this being a problem.

Cheers

If you do better gluten free and milk free, then that's for you; otherwise, I don't know if any are Rules of LDN.

I eat what I want. Chocolate is my Kryptonite; before LDN it was The #1 Trigger and destroyer of me. Otherwise, I eat what I want.

I'm not big on dairy, but when I think about it, I do have dairy. Cheeseburgers if I'm eating out, not all that much, but when I do... I get ice cream every so often. I add shredded cheese to my salad every day. I buy juice drinks like Orange Dream.

I actually thought I wasn't have much dairy in my diet, but it's there. Never noticed any better Immune System Orchestration, Other than Chocolate interference, and those SX are pretty clear, always attacks me the same way.

Sometimes even without having any chocolate for months, I get those atypical problems but I can't seem to pinpoint what Else can do that to me.

Once you're on LDN and your immune system is orchestrating well, you may still be sensitive to what you used to be, just not as much; anything you know is a trigger or weakness or reactive, you try to avoid.

People report Their issues, doesn't apply to all. Though, chocolate is a common trigger, especially in MS, some people eat it without noticeable problems, though some refuse to stop for 4 weeks to see if some of their symptoms subside or change.

JMHO, YMMV, HAND GLTA

People told me when I was diagnosed, "All ya gotta do is Quit Smoking".... yep, "ALL" I gotta do.

RRMX DX 073102, LDN 3.0 since 041703

Welllllll........... I quit smoking, haven't had a cigarette in 4 years.... haven't noticed a single positive change in my MS, my wallet, Maybe... if anything, technically, I got "worse"... but my clothes smells nice and I don't have to stand outside to smoke any more, in the rain, in the cold, in the heat... but in the last 2 winters in NY, I couldn't imagine having to smoke outside. I dealt with the weather better when I was a smoker!

But I don't miss it, I feel like a non-smoker, not an ex. I think LDN helped me quit when I was ready, and it put me through such a torturous withdrawal, it had to be because of the immune system orchestration, and when it was over, it left me with no cravings. The last 3 days was nothing like I ever heard any other quitter go through. Was wild.

Since 4/26/2006: It's been: Four years, 11 hours, 59 minutes and 7 seconds. 43844 cigarettes not smoked, saving $12,057.37. Life saved: 21 weeks, 5 days, 5 hours, 40 minutes.Since 08/08/07, spent $24,707, billed, on lawyer's fees.
