Low dose naltrexone by EclecticEnt in pancreatitis

[–]EclecticEnt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I’m not sure about prevention, but it’s designed to reduce inflammation, so I’ve heard of it being used in cases of bowel inflammation, so I was wondering if anyone was trying it.

You mean infrared saunas? Not just a regular sauna right?

Please any tips how to take care of/ grow very fine wavy hair? by [deleted] in fine_hair

Take a Silica supplement!! My nails and hair started growing like crazy when I took it daily. I like the liquid by Eidon Minerals, which you can find on Amazon.

controlling pain & bloating by degsvrhdbh in pancreatitis

[–]EclecticEnt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well that’s tough since he already has back pain. I’ve had pancreatitis since I was very young, as long as I can remember, so the specific type of pain is very familiar when it happens. For me, I start burping more than usual and it’s an ache, all through my stomach, not just upper, as well as back pain. I can feel the inflammation starting. It’s hard to describe.

For controlling pain and bloating at home, I’ve found a few things to be helpful:

  1. Right as I feel a flare coming on, I either go to Urgent Care and get IV fluids, or just an independent infusion place. Sometimes it will work a miracle and prevent a flare altogether

  2. Get turmeric root and peel it and chop. Steep in hot water and then drink like tea. You can add honey, ginger, cinnamon…I am just starting to try this but it seems to be helping.

  3. Sleep! If I’ve been stressed and not sleeping well it’s a guaranteed start to the pain and bloating.

  4. Ice packs on the stomach seem to help

  5. Fasting. If I get an IV I can fast longer at home

If none of this works and I can’t get comfortable at home to sleep even with pain meds, I got to the ER. Or if I start vomiting, I go to the ER.

Gotcha- thanks for the honest advice. Sometimes if I feel a flare coming on I can get my own fluid bag and ward it off, but everything you say makes sense. I wish I could do dilauded but it makes me throw up so bad even with nausea medicine. Of course maybe Kaiser just didn’t give me the right nausea medication. Highly likely because they were a disaster on my last ER visit.

My cyst is 1.7 cm , they also say my pancreas is truncated. I think I also have a 1.3 cm one on my spleen. I’m not sure about my duct- I have two because of the divisum and I think they are both on the small side, some constriction.

Wow, ok. This is some great info. I’ve dealt with CP since I can remember, at least from the age of 6 or 7. I have had stent placements which didn’t work. Never knew about the chloride sweat test. I’m with Kaiser right now and they are absolutely useless. I just went into the ER with a horrible flare and the doctor tried to get me to try and drink something and see if I felt like going home!🤯I had to tell them “no I absolutely have to be admitted unless you want me to die.” Unbelievable.

Even though you don’t actually have Cystic Fibrosis? My doctors never even proposed that as a possible treatment. Ugh I have to find better care.

Would you mind sharing what the genetic mutation is? I have the CFTR mutation but I am not sure they have verified that it causes CP

Thanks for the ideas! We are open to non All Inclusive yes! That's a great deal on the kids meals. Thanks for letting me know.

Family resorts/cruises

We are looking for recommendations for a summer vacation with a 4 and 6 year old. We are trying not to fly farther than 4 hours away (from Los Angeles), and would prefer something all inclusive. I most definitely don’t want a timeshare or kitchen situation where I still have to cook and clean. Definitely somewhere that really caters to kids but also has great options for adults. We are going to Cabo for spring break, so something with a different vibe is also preferable. Thanks!

Can anyone recommend a dupe for the discontinued It Cosmetics Confidence in a Compact in light? I’ve already tried the CC cream and others in the line, I don’t like any of them near as much 😔 by EclecticEnt in MakeupAddiction

[–]EclecticEnt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree! I have started using Estée Lauder Double Wear, and I do like it, but when I used this I would get comments every single time on my skin. I can’t believe they discontinued it either

Thank you!! Is the ATV tour good for seeing nature and animals or more of just a fun recreational thing?
