Conversation Jan 22, 2012 via faceBook Live Chat ... "Probiotics"

Why is this medication prescribed? Omeprazole
Prescription omeprazole is used alone or with other medications to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and possible injury of the esophagus (the tube between the throat and stomach). Prescription omeprazole is used to treat the symptoms of GERD, allow the esophagus to heal, and prevent further damage to the esophagus. Prescription omeprazole is also used to treat conditions in which the stomach produces too much acid such as Zollinger-Ellison syndrome

I see it!

Inulin in a protein shake with some Greek yogurt makes probiotics very happy.

You are so intelligent... heck fire!

LOL
geek
I try to get everyone in my practice on a great multiple vit-min, fish oil and a probiotic. Takes care of a lot of it
And since you don't pay me, I can say it: "GET HER OFF THE OMAPROZOLE!!!"
It will lead to many more problems/ meds!

yes, mam... understood.

Pharmaceutical Conspiracy!
Want one of the questionnaires for her to run through?

yes, but you have to charge me.

Her name and b'date, and at 18 need her e-mail.

[I don;t know her email...
I am fumbling here

Okay- will send to you to forward?

yes. thank you

about time for you to do another too, so will send one for you as well...

oh my goodness... okay!

and google the side effects for her meds- I call the gerd meds entry drugs, because they create so many side effects that can be medicated

will do!

One more- how is her poo? Has she mentioned anything?

uh... she has not told me details... but I will ask

She will put it on the questionnaire, no need to embarass yourself
and her

okay
you're a Godsend, E. and we thank you. Our gastro problems are hereditary from as far back as I can remember Great Grandad and further... so your assistance is a miracle... I understand more each time we converse.

LOL- not true! Your cooking/eating traditions, not genetics!
Check my site? And feel free to call. I really am loving this, and happily I am not putting a roof over anyone's head to do it. And I can talk your ear off!
Hell, I spent ten hours yesterday, largely discussing poo, and loved it!

I am putting this on my blog site MooPig GERD with your permission? eh? leaving out names and such...

Always and encourage people to contact me-
I am gratified how much the truth is getting out, although if I see one more reference to Paula Dean's diabetes being caused by heredity or her use of butter, I am going to kill someone.
Type 2= 100% lifestyle, 100% reversible !!!!!!!!!!!!!

About Elaine DiRico of Austin Nutritional Therapy:

" ... I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. My focus is not a symptom based practice, but a holistic approach to optimizing health. My vision is this: By choosing to take responsibility for our health and to consciously move towards a health-oriented life style, we are also turning away from the idea that we must wait for a crisis (diabetes, heart problems) to make changes. Rather than have a crisis, I am maximizing my health in every way possible, today.

Your experience with an NTP will be: I use a series of assessments: an online questionnaire, a history, a food diary, a physical exam and an interview to compile data. Then, together we create a plan to balance your individual body chemistry through diet, and perhaps supplements, in a way that meshes perfectly with your life. ... "   Call me 512-970-5007

Cocktails can be Managed too

Afternoons Cocktail Cravings should be Managed

All good people seek "selflessness;" and that is how we are taught; but good people should remember to take good care of themselves.

In a lifetime a person goes from shape-changing youth to completed-design adults; this course of biologic "miracle" happens far too fast for most of us. As we mature, some very interesting pieces of each of our bodies and habits come in conflict with our minds. That is, it turns out, is why we must continue learning about our self. There is the thinking side of each of us, and the biological reality of each; this is supposed to work in conjunction for the greater good in all of us.

That said: "Yes, all good people should seek [not only] selflessness" but also self-preservation. Many of my activities as an adult have proven to be self-defeating -- even self-destructive. Once I realized that my own children are unhappy when I act out these behaviors, did I realize they too want me happy, healthy, and -- less wise.

Actions speak louder than words to my shape-shifting teens.

On the continuing discourse of hydration I connected with my GERD mentor this Saturday morning, April 9,  on faceBook and she had this to say: (EXCERPT)

Mentor: "How much water do you drink every day?"

Me: almost a gallon
some days I forget to hydrate
those are generally bad days
I can't seem to break the coke zero habit in the afternoons
i look forward to my "strong drink" as a habit
since i don't imbibe amymore but I still look forward to a coke zero with bottled water "cocktail" in the afternoons

Mentor: I was the same- gave up everything, but going to hell w a diet coke in hand.

Me: so how'd you do it?

Mentor: You saw the study out today? A self funded study

Me: where?

Mentor: Read about aspartame- and it eats your bones... and dehydration. On it's way

VB: I was concerned about family members who were consuming large amounts of -- especially diet sodas. I had already become aware of possible adverse effects of aspartame. I was doing further research on it and I came across the Bressler report. I noticed that he was talking about sizeable tumors that were reported from the use of ... DKP (diketopiperazine) which is a breakdown component of aspartame. I thought that if I did my own experiment that I might be able to actually see some tumors and that I would make photos of them and then provide an additional resource 2 for people to use to try to get it off the market and to try to convince family members to stop using it.

Me: oh, how nice,

Mentor: Generally, rule is to divide weight by 2, and drink that number of ounces, not exceeeding 100 oz or you risk washing out minerals and electrolytes

But if you add caffeine, alcohol, fruit juice... any diuretics you need more water
generally 1.5 oz for every ounce of diuretic.

So I am one cup of coffee a day to keep the water need down.

You can check yourself for dehydration like this:

Stand up, one hand over your heart. Have someone palpate a vein in your lower hand and slowly raise it, not going over the level of your heart. If the vein loses structure at all, you are dehydrated. Big cause of GERD, btw...
