Hii I took ibuprofen for 15 mths due to hip pain. Off it 2 years but left with right hand side stomach pain. Camera test all clear. Any suggestions for diet change or medication to ease pain. Thanks.
Hi david,
I have the same problem due to an aggressive antibiotic, I've been on an alkaline diet for 18 months and things are much better, I think I have to continue on it for some time as the damage was pretty bad. I've cut out alcohol, dairy, grains, red meat and fruit. my diet consists of white meat or fish, sea food and loads of veg (no tomotoes too acidic) also plenty of water. It's not much fun but it works. good luck.
I was going to suggest a very similar diet to Kerry's, I would add to that, porridge oats and, brown bread but only one slice a day, ration potatoes, rice and pasta and only have brown, cut out sugars, sweets, chocolate etc, you can eat Nairns oat biscuits, good spread with avocado, rice cakes,almond, walnut and Brazil nuts if you don't have a nut allergy, eggs, cut out milk and use a good substitute like coconut cream, oat milk, rice milk as long as they are not sweetened
Go easy on the sweet veg like carrots, peas, sweet potato and parsnips, and eat plenty of green veg and salad with chick peas, sunflower seeds, olives, small amount of fetta cheese, radishes, do not eat any processed foods and avoid, as much as possible, the additives, throw away the junk food, fish fingers and chicken nuggets and foods like that including all sauces in a bottle and in packets, it sounds and is difficult at times but I have been on this diet for over a year, with the occasional treat, because it controls the pain, inflammation and fatigue of polymyalgia rheumatica, if you want to know more then look up ....diet for candida, if you can afford it take a good probiotic but check for the milk enzyme if you have a milk intolerance
many people can tolerate tomatoes, but see what us best for you, raw or cooked find out if you can get a parasite cleanse, we all have them, but they may be contributing to your problem, I take diatomaceous earth and plenty if fresh garlic every day to control the parasites, look up on the internet about internal parasite and also diatomaceous earth
my GP is aware of my diet and supplements and encourages it as a good healthy diet and is pleased that he does not have to keep prescribing steroids
have a go the only thing you will lose is a little extra weight, if you have other health problems ie cholesterol, high blood pressure, gout etc, then you will also see these improve
let Kelly and myself know how you get on
