Does anyone here have Crohn’s Disease,Rheumatoid Arthritis,Fibromyalgia,Barrett’s Esophagus or all of these ?

Lisa V I have a host of auto-immune diseases, Lupus,, 3 kinds of EUROPA,seizures scolder, anemia, you name it, severe acid reflux disease etc. I really don’t know how to help you cause i can’t help myself, one thing i do is once a month t a Ivie treatment suggested by my Nero. doc. it’s given in a cancer treatment but it’s not really chemo. its made from whole blood plasma of people who have health immune systems, its supposed to slow down the progression of the diseases and i can feel after a few weeks of a boost in energy.maybe you could benefit from this. I km ow how you feel talking about draining the life out of you i feel the same way. Good Luck Rita V P.s. you can reach me Thur my profile.

I would ask for a referral to a dietician well versed in gastroinstentinal disorders for the Crohn’s and Barrett’s and if they have suggestions for the others that would be great. If there are any for FM let me know.. I have multiple medical problems as well including FM and one doc I have had all my meds in a little hand held electronic med book and realized that I was having some drug interactions for some time. I also have multiple specialists. I wish you the best

Hi Lisa V,You have more than enough to cope with haven’t you? Although I am a Chef and have a fairly good working knowledge of nutrition, I feel that this is a question for a specialist. The reality being, if I were to suggest something that may alleviate some symptoms it may do more damage by exacerbating others.
Your doctor should have by now I feel sent you to see a specialist Nutritionist or Dietitian which ever is the most appropriate for all your conditions. I would have a word with your Doctor and explain in no uncertain terms that you want this service. He / She have been probably looking at individual symptoms as they occur and probably seeking to alleviate pain and discomfort rather than taking a holistic approach. The thought of your diet might not even have occurred to them overall except maybe to say don’t eat Xor Y because they know that this could have an effect on one illness. As I said you need someone to sit down with you and go through a whole set of meal plans and "yes and no’s" to what you can eat on a daily basis. For all your complaints both as a whole and individually.
There may be times when it is fine for you to eat (for example only) tomatoes and there may be times when you should avoid them if they would exacerbate your condition. My thoughts are with. Please seek proper medical advice. All the best. Rab

Get to a neurologist….I have Crone’s and fibro and, with the proper diet and omission of certain foods, the Crone’s is under control the majority of the time. As for the fibro, it has nothing to do with your digestion….however it DOES cause chronic fatigue.
