Food and TX drugs
Simple question...i wonder why the study trials and Doctors dont keep track of the foods we eat with our drugs....maybe some people are not getting the right amounts of fat in order for the drugs to proberly absorb in the body...other factors that may effect if we get SVR is stress and how this affects the outcome...for all we know the chemicails intap water may affect the TX drugs
Nutrition is a sensitive issue issue,almaost as bad as religion .money and politics....trying to suggest different ways to eat is difficut because most peole are set in there ways...good fats are essential in order for tah brain to be healthy...the brain is 80% fat
I think the answer is $ as to why we're not monitored more as there are no 'medical trials' to show what foods/supplements have an affect on interferon.
The one thing they are sure of is that if we don't eat enough on tx our bloods are more likely to plummet so to advise any patients on what to eat/not to eat may entice some of us to be so fanatical as to not get enough food into us at all (especially when we're going through tx and prone to being a little neurotic at times). Thus the 'follow a healthy diet'.
I will add, that when my ALT's rose on week 4, and my nurse couldn't come up with a reason, I mentioned "I might as well go and eat fish and chips then". Her reaction was "you most certainly will not". I was just winding her up; I was being very 'liver friendly' with my diet, but I hadn't been advised on diet by the medical team.

I was gonna ask what that picture was.....I thought it was a urine sample. From someone who was really, really sick, lol!
"the big stuff gets filtered out..." big stuff being terds, maybe?!! lol! That is scary, though.
Actually it does ...when we flush our toilets and even the shower water goes into the lake ontario and the big suff gets filtered out....the nasty suff stays...they even add more stuff to the water to kill germs...SCARY STUFF
Try to remember this....the water you are seeing in that jar is waht you swallow everyday
i thought about the same thing. it seems like we have to do the research on the food & supplements.
I am going to take a pic of a jar og tap water i just distilled last week....its the leftover chemicals and gunnk...check my pictues in a few...be warned...its pretty gross....and it smells very deadly...if i drank this leftover stuff i would surley poision me....and its just 7 days worth of the toxic sludge
