Happy New Year!!!
Happy New Year everyone! I have not posted in quite sometime, I do want everyone to know that I am doing so much better. I spent the first 7 months of 2011 with extremely low Vitamin A,E,D and K vitamin levels and was also hospitalized in March for malnutition and pain. I went home with a Picc line so I could continue to do the tube feeding to help my nutrition levels. I had to do that for about 2 weeks after coming home. Thank Goodness for my Dear sweet friend Cheri and My Daughter Ashley, they would come over and help each time it needed to be set up. I was on Home health care while I had the PICC line so I could be medically monitored. Once I was done with the IV Feedings I was able to get back to more of a normal state.
The exciting news is Dr. Lamont physically went down to the health food store and spoke to them about a natural enzyme. I have had zero luck with the perscription enzymes the more I take the more I vomit, the less I take the more I have the malabsorption issue and everything just goes right through me. I have been so very thin, huvvering just over 100lbs if I was lucky 102 Lbs. He spoke to them at length and then gave me a call and told me to try Wholezyme Ultra. It comes from the Whole Foods Store the bottle has 100 tablets and they are 325 mg each they have 81,250 protease, 81,250 Amylase and 6500 Lipase. They are my miracle! The bottle cost 12.99 each I go in and buy 8 to 10 bottles at a time. I started out slow I learned my body has to be treated just like and infant. I started with 2 each meal and 1 with each snack (no matter how small) I now take 3 with each meal and 2 with a snack. I weigh 110 lbs and my vitamin levels are just shy of being normal. I also take my Juice Plus Gummies for added nutrition and a chewable ADEK tablet. I finally am not vomiting and everything is not just running through me. I am excited about this and wanted to share this with you, I am sure there are several people out there that have issues with the enzymes. I am trying to continue to gain weight and see if I can get myself to 118 lbs I would be thrilled, even though that is still low I would be pleased to accomplish that!
My Granddaughter Sydney will be 3 in February and I have a new Grandbaby that is 7 months old Her name is Lyla. I am working a lot of hours and still selling Real Estate. I promise to post more now I had probelms with the site for awhile with hackers. I am now very protected, they keep trying but can't get in. I would Love to hear from all of you. I hope you are still checking the site. Happy New Year to all, wishing you as many pain free days as possible. Love Lorie
. I continue to have issues with my digestive enzymes as we all know I have stated many times it can be a vicious cycle. The more enzymes I take the more nausea and vomiting, the less I take the more problems I have with not absorbing fats and end up in bathroom all the time. The Zen-pep has worked better for me then the Creon and Viokase I could not take at all. Sooo He told me out of the 22 Islet Cell Transplants he has done since me they have studied this situation and he is hearing the exact same thing from 90% of his patients. He has had 2 or 3 patients just stop taking the enzymes all together and made their own decision to take the route of adding to their daily diet Organic whole foods that increase digestion rapidly. These patients are doing much better. Dr. Lamont said one takes zero enzymes and one or 2 take VERY minimal enzymes basically next to none. The great part is Dr. Lamont said when he left the office last night he was going to make a trip to the whole foods store and speak to them about all of this and also purchase some items and test a few theories out. His office is also part of Texas Oncology so they have a nutritionist on staff & he is going to have them call me. I know this will be a trial and error situation and will take some time but I am thrilled to know that I have possibly other options.
