wow. great post man.
yeah, i've been struggling with this ulcer since end of november last year. the symptoms are just so debilitating. wqas off work for 2 weeks when it was at it's worse. my doctor prescribed an anti-bacterial medication, and muscle relaxer for the cramps. initially it worked really well, but then returned much worse after a month. he did mention some basic diet changes... spicey food, rich food, avoiding certain medications that are abrasive, etc.
it wasn't until i just got really "sick and tired" of it that i actively changed my diet. my girl helped a lot with research and helping me buy the right kinds of food. also taking note of the things that make me feel ill, and the things that i can eat and still be comfortable.
my gf's got this encyclopedia written by a dietitian... basically you look up symptoms in the index and it points you to diet based solutions and supplements and explains what it does for you. i'll get the name of the author. helped a lot.
interesting about the beans. i like beans a lot and thought it worked for me for the most part. i don't use a lot of milk or cheese. i have been using a dairy-based pro-biotic supplement to help keep things healthy down there. and wholegrain bread i'm very happy with, as well as wholegrain, unprocessed cereal to start me off in the mornings. any other processed wheat-based food i've been avoiding. i eat quite a bit of game (red meat) and chicken and have worked more fresh fish into my diet. and then of course lots of vegetables and fruit during the day.
i've never paid attention to my diet before, but this really forced me to. guess i just have to stick to it and the weight- and muscle-gain will come with time.
- it's Patrick Holford - Optimal Nutrition. i don't follow any strict diet, but it gave me the right direction.sine
- Thanks for the book info, I'll check it out. Also, keep in mind we basically have a wound in our gut. It's going to take some time to heal...IRNlun6
