These are oil based. Not so good for DSers

Thank you. I will just cross that bridge when I come to it. I hope I don't have to take that bridge!

Oh yes. zinc is taken in the middle of the night!

Hi Diana. Yes, I've tried Creon. It didn't do anything. The prescription dose was low. I've amped up my protein drink intake to 150 grams a day. J Robb and Genepro. I hear Genepro has some digestive enzymes in it. I am consulting with Dr. K (Pasadena CA - Bariatric specialist) (he wants...

I just found my way back to you. (I have been involved in FB forums). This is the place where I started to learn, 10 years ago. I was in bad shape. I got well! I could not have been more grateful for the support and direction from this group. Now I'm back, battling, maybe not in such bad...

I went down the tubes nutritionally five years ago. I kept thinking, so this is how it feels to become really old. I just could not think or retain information. All my vit. levels were bottomed out, but my copper level was non-existent. I'd add copper to the list for healthy brain function...

I've experienced this. It is very difficult, because you love these people, and they love you. The problem is that you all have fallen into "roles". They have been entrenched by time. When the shaming occurs you might try saying, "why would you say that?". It brings forward the issue at...

Yes but fruit on the bottom makes it soooooo good. o_O

You continue to be in my prayers for full recovery and strength.

How's it going Scott?

Zinc and Copper levels in line?

How long does this injection last?

Promise me (if things don't get better) that you will at least Google the topic fecal transplant. I am aware of several people who were absolutely "transformed" within a few short hours after having this procedure. I'm still thinking and praying for you Scott!

I've been checked in waiting for this post. I will continue to pray for your full recovery. Have they tested you for allergies? Was a fecal transplant ever discussed?

Hooray!

Diana thank you for posting this passage in your medical life. I think the more we share, the more we learn. Most important of all, it is a good thing to have a community that will listen, support us and help calm our nerves.

Talked to my Hematologist. He thought going to a nephrologist was overkill....although he did say it wouldn't hurt just to check it out. He confirmed what I thought might happen. They will do a bunch of tests, and then tell me to drink more water. What I will do is drink a lot of water, and...

My BUN/Creatinine ratio is 28 (normal 12 -20) So it is a little high. Thank you "Settledownnow" and Scott for responding. I guess I get a little stressed when talking about my kidneys. I'm going to see my hematologist today...maybe get a second opinion. I certainly will drink more...

I have a history of my BUN (Blood Urea Nitrogen....Kidney) levels bouncing around. Here it is: Mar 23, 2012 11.9 12.0-20.0 L May 16, 2012 18.2 12.0-20.0 May 17, 2012 18.1 12.0-20.0 May 18, 2012 9.1 12.0-20.0 L May 19, 2012 28.9 12.0-20.0 H May 20, 2012 27.3 12.0-20.0 H May 21, 2012...

Scott, you know I'm following you. Did you get to Mayo?
