Little Mary "Checking In"

[ladyhawk21]

It appears my moms dx of crohns several years ago was incorrect and she actually has UC.  she is very upset that she will have to go off the LDL plan and end up gaining all the weight back.  She is also on Prednisone at the moment, she has to take it for a few weeks as the Dr says she has major inflammation right now. 

Little Mary will you let me know about the foods the nurse tells you to try for your sons.  i will pass it along to my mom.  i guess it will be
trial and error on what she can and cant eat.

Mary,
you may have already read it, but if not, check out The Makers Diet by Jordan Rubin. He had UC amoung other things. You may pick up some pointers. The Lord lead him to healthy eating to get delivered from his illnesses. His plan includes things not on LDL and we found LDL easier to follow, but the book has a lot of other good info you may find helpful.

Mary,

The book that LINDA RN is referring to is excellent. In fact, I think anyone who suffers from a chronic disease, not just UC, needs to read it.

Is the book paperback?  Does Walmart carry it?    I'll check with the library tomorrow.  I want to read it.  Thanks for the recommendation. 

[LINDA RN]

Not sure if it is paperback.

[Joyful Friend]

Thanks, Linda.  I'll check on it tomorrow--at library first, then Walmart.  JF

Just remember Jordan Rubin is promoting healthy eating, not necessarily for weight lioss. He does advocate whole wheat and raw dairy and nuts. We were "kinda" following his recommendations and lost some weight, but had better success with LDL by eliminating the grains. But if you are ill, the focus will be getting well first and getting the body back to the way it was created. The book does have good info. You have to depend on the Holy Spirit"s wisdom to help you decide what is best for your body.

Mary I'm just now seeing this thread.  I am praying for Ben and Harrison both.  I'm also praying for calm nerves for you and the strength to get you through it all.  *HUGS*  I love you so much.  Remember God had you all in the palm of His loving hand. 

Blessed and loved,
