Reliv Suppliment
|
I have recently heard from friends that there is a suppliment for cancer patients called Reliv.
It has been around for some time, and I wondered if there is anyone out there taking "Reliv NOW". It appears to be something like Ambrotose, only better.
Before trying itI would like to hear from others using it.
Thanks

cancer nutrition after treatment
|
My last day of treatment at U.M for throat cancer was sort of like being released from prison. They handed me my duffle bag said "go home". Now what? What do I eat, what supplements do I take, if any? What about exercise?
Well it's been two years and even though I work for a supplement manufacturer, I wonder about the diet and supplement intake of other cancer survivors like myself. At this point, 5gr. of Vita C, a couple thousand mg's of Omega 3 and some CoQ10 is about it.

You must educate yourself.. Most oncologists and nutritionists aren't current on basic nutrition.
|
I found out when mother was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer that the oncologists in charge of her case were not really current on nutrion... They said just eat calories and protein.. I learned that that is true when going through chemotherapy but the type of calories are important. I learned that Ensure (a product of the Nestle' corporation) does have a lot of calories but is also high in high fructose corn syrup which has been linked to an increased risk of cancer... It has been know that a diet high in processed sugars and animal protein (fat) has been linked to an increased risk of cancer.... DO not use Ensure!! If possible a diet high in fruits and vegeitables and protein supplents like whey or egg is best.. We found a great product in Orgain... An all organic supplemnt drink that contains the equivilent of 10 servings of fruits and vegatables and 16 grames of organic protein.... EDUCATE YOURSELF!!!

nutrition and digestion post whipple
|
I had my surgery 4/26/11 about 3 weeks ago and am still struglling with eating and digestion. I was started back on enzymes because of frequent bowel movements and fell a little better.
I have lost 22 pounds pre and post surgery and was told by the doctors they are concerned with my weight. Can anyone offer my any suggestions on how to put the weight back on?
I tried a muscle milk protein shake and it gave me severe cramps and a nauseous feeling.
Does anyone have any remedies for the nauseous and acid taste in your mouth? I tried peppermints and they help.
Thanks so much

need healthy nutrition ideas
|
I was diagnosed with stage 4 renal cell cancer with mets to bones. My doc wants me to eat a lot of protein especially fish. I have never liked any kind of fish & can't even think of bringing it to my lips. My daily diet consists of a cup of decaffienated coffee, a banana, either oatmeal or farina for breakfast, turkey & swiss sandwich for lunch & dinner is meat I eat a lot of chicken, fresh or frozen veggie & a starch. Snack at night is usually 2 celery stalks with peanut butter. If I'm hungry inbetween meals I'll drink a chocolate protein drink. I've maintained a healthy weight for a few months now so I guess I'm doing something right.
I was on Sutent & couldn't tolerate any dairy & had decreased appetite. I recently started Afinitor & my appetite has increased & I'm slowly reintroducing dairy into my diet.
I love to cook but many recipies call for alcohol to be added which I can't have. Is there anything I can substitute for the alcohol without changing the outcome of the taste? Also are there any good sites that offer high protein healthy recipies.
I am also anemic from the medication. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Donna
