Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Tammy, I think everyone is different in terms are what foods are tough. I myself can eat anything, sometimes with the help of a little water (usually I need 1-2 glasses each meal to help the food down). Hope this helps!! Have fun experimenting.

Guest guest Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 Tammy, it's best to avoid things that cause reflux, such as caffeine, chocolate, tomatoes and ketchup, citrus fruits and juices, and mint. If you get bored with the soft diet you may find more ideas here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soft_diet in PA FOODS TO AVOID > Hello I have just had my Lap Heller Myotomy with Ful wrap on > Oct 24th. > One night in the hospital and I have had no pain except chest > pains > from a couple of foods i have eaten.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 , In my experience after my operation, avoid eating hard food like meat and/or chicken. Let it heal the pain and afterwards, you can eat it all. By now, try eating soft foods (soup, fish (grind). Take care of yourself.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Hi Nonato and thanks to everyone for their advice, It's great to see that you are still checking in once in a while. I hope you are doing terrific! After my pop scare last evening, I ended up getting into the Halloween candy and forcing down some Pepperidge farm goldfish crackers. That helped and the pressure was gone. I had quite a bit of pain and pressure for at least two hours though. No more pepsi or carbonated drinks for me. I saw Dr. gehman yesterday and he said I was doing fantastic and removed my J-Tube. Just in case anyone was curious, he just removed the stitches and gave a quick pull. I held the pressure dressing while he taped it (very tight). It did not hurt at all to have my J-Tube removed. I have to leave the pressure dressing on for 72 hours. After that, I can have my first nice long soak in the bath-tub! He also gave me a prescription for a drug called metoclopramide to increase stomach emptying. I am to take this tiny pill 1/2 hour before every meal and stay on this medication for the rest of my life. I wasn't too thrilled with this, but I will do everything Dr. Gehman suggests. He also told me I could eat anything I wanted and just to chew everything very carefully and eat slowly. I think it's because he knows I am a runner and that I don't eat pizza and junk food any way. I am allowed to begin running again in February, but I won't do any running until the snow melts. I also have to reach and maintain 120 lbs. He is a very thorough Doctor and I didn't feel rushed and he answered all my questions. It's so nice to have a Southern Ontario Doctor practicing in Thunder Bay. I had previously travelled to London, Ontario seven times for tests and consults and my two open myotomies. Any way, I promise to take it easy and eat slowly and carefully, Thank you, .

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 On our website and the TPA-UK Information Pack, we have a section on foods that are good and foods that are bad for sufferers of hypothyroidism. There is a problem for those sufferers of Hypothyroidism who have Coeliac disease because they cannot tolerate wheat, barley, oats or rye (recommended for hypothyroids) but they can eat maize, millet, sorghum, soya, rice, tapioca etc (not recommended for hypothyroids. Does anybody know of a good diet for coeliac hypothyroid people - or is this asking too much? Luv - Sheila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 > > Can you find us a link to the website please Keri. It is http://www.breakingtheviciouscycle.info/ and the book is 'Breaking the Vicious Cycle' by Elaine Gottschall - I got the book from Amazon. It has been a real turning point as I have had bowel problems since a teenager .... but thought it was all normal. Luv Keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 > > > , > particularly the yogurt, Hi - I agree the Special Carbohydrate diet is excellent (Elaine Gottschall) but due to my very high thyroid antibodies I have not introduced any allergens, eg, dairy in any shape or form. I am taking plant sterols, Nutri Sterol 117 and vitamin C to help boost the immune system and Nutri bifidus. My stool test showed low bifidus/lactobacillus ratio so I had good bacteria but too many of the latter. It is all so complicated but the basic SCD has really helped me.

The lady who asked the quesiton is joining our forum and I would like to point her in the right direction. I think the one I gave is the one Sheila. It has everything there the lady will need to know about SCD. Very comprehensive. She just needs to click on all the links. It's all there - the diet, the book, even an A-Z of everything she's ever likely to want to know.

Tested positive to sheep and goats milk and was advised to be wary of cow's milk too. Tried to reintroduce the yogurt (because I love it) but reluctantly had to admit that right now it was one step too far and I need to give it a miss. Just out of interest are you allergic to the proteins in dairy or lactose intolerant? I'll have to remember what you say about the antibodies. I'm hoping to get mine tested soon. Obviously from what you say allergens play a part. Know nothing about antibodies as yet though. But your recommendation of SCD is a good one. My daughter's bowels have thanked her for it!

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Just out > of interest are you allergic to the proteins in dairy or lactose > intolerant? > It's the lactose as it isn't a simple sugar .... However, I am going to have a go at Elaine's yogourt as her method removes all the lactose by the 24 hour fermentation. The yogourts we buy today have reduced the fermentation time (think cost must be the issue here) so that they are not traditional yogourts ....> luv keri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2008 Report Share Posted March 1, 2008 Dear Sheila The further you get, away from the basic wheat gluten, the better. I think rice is far enough away not to cause too many problems...I read something a while back on the theory but won't bore you with it. Perhaps put it in the folder under 'gluten' files when I get around to re-reading the relevant paper(s). Tha same problem applies to soya, where (soya) genistein is helpful in cancer prevention, so-say. Ambiguity all along the route to wellness. best wishes Bob > > Foods to avoidOn our website and the TPA-UK Information Pack, we have a section on foods that are good and foods that are bad for sufferers of hypothyroidism.

I thought if it was just lactose intolerance you might be able to have the yogurt because of the reason you give here. Give it a go. It's absolutely delicious. Very easy to make and well worth the effort. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think semi skimmed would work as well. I think in fact I've used that once or twice. And for the culture I use Total Authentic Greek Yogurt. But NOT the low fat variety. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
