With my limited choices in food, it's hard for me to get the nessesary nutrients, so I often feel weak and fatigued. Would anybody recommend anything besides vitamins I could take? I am taking a women's multi-vitamin everyday, and in fruits and vegetables, I've found out I can't eat a majority of the things that I use to eat.
Thanks in advance!
That's one of the few tests I haven't taken yet
Yea, I'll have to do that. My gastroenterologist never recommend that. And so far almost anything processed, lactose, and not much sugar. I have found out I can do gluten though
Oats and rice well cooked
Make stock and your own soups
Honey of you region
Bananas and pears
Your Dr will be the one to help with your requirements. Mine prescribes me Strong Vit mins and trace elements tablets ( Forceva)l, and additional Vit B tablets and Calcium tablets. On my specialists recommendations I buy strong Vit D (this gives me more energy) I also buy Fish oils
I have found that the Monash University Diet has helped me avoid the foods that hurt and eat as much variety as I can.
I have IBS C & D set off by fruit and veg etc . I'm Coeliac and also intolerant of milk protein so no dairy either.
Good Luck J
I would definitely recommend talking to a dietician. You can go private or ask to be referred to an NHS dietician (and I think you might even be able to self-refer to an NHS dietician, too). Personally, I'd also recommend a dietician familiar with the low FODMAP diet. The other advantage of going to a dietician is that they might be able to pinpoint other issues that could be causing your symptoms and suggest other tests your doctor can carry out. In some cases they might insist on this before suggesting a dietary intervention to they don't make things worse.
I don't know why Pandora brought up elimination diets, but as she did I'll also add that the BDA (British Dietetic Association) says that elimination diets should only be conducted under the supervision of a healthcare professional; that there are some conditions where there is no evidence that food intolerances (and therefore restrictive diets) help; but that they do recommend the low FODMAP diet (which requires an elimination phase) to help treat IBS after other enquiries have been ruled out.
When you wrote "bda who register the nhs rd's actually state elimination diets are bad but then docs give 1 a rd who recommends fodmap/elimination" it sounded like you thought the BDA was doing a bad job of regulating its members. I just wanted to clarify the position because I wouldn't want people reading this not trusting a dietician for proposing an elimination diet.
I would recommend Sea Aloe it is a whole food liquid vitamin one of the best on the market was recommended by my Kinesiologist been on it for a few years really helps when you can’t eat Lot of foods like me I am intolerant to so many or food allergies.
