salted and roasted peanuts in shell

Tex and Gabes,
No raisins and no blueberry fiber. No blueberries and no blackberries. Can I have strawberries, raspberries, watermelon and bananas? Can I have apples and pears peeled? Would it help if the fruit slides down our gut? What type of meats are appropriate? I love seafood and fish! Are they okay? Are well-cooked vegetables such as squash, zucchini and asparagus, okay?? How about broccoli and collard greens? Gabes, I'm gonna look at the success stories.

I am suffering from severe PTSD, and currently going for therapy a third time, because I was sexually assaulted and harassed by a doctor in a hospital at work in Savannah, GA, in 1997. The CEO of the hospital severely retaliated against me. My life in the hospital made me ILL! They blamed patient's deaths on me and I attended meetings everyday for weeks! I had no time for my patients. They called my crazy, incompetent, nuts and everything in the book but would not fire me even when I asked them to fire me. My boyfriend and now husband, could not handle it because he did not want his PhD damaged, so he left me. Because of the continued abuse by the hospital and doctor, I could no longer work as a RN. I had therapy in San Marcos TX, and labeled with PTSD! My mother was no help, she said "why didn't you let the doctor do what he wanted because now you have no job!" Plus my father, a sick, Type 1 diabetic was always screaming and throwing things that smashed and broke and my mother had to take us away for safety! My brother, who kept me while my parents went to Europe yelled and screamed at me and thew a fork at my face that nearly put my eye out. My cousin's husband tried to choke me three times in a bar. It took three men to get him off me. I had hand marks on my neck! My life has been HELL!

No wonder I am sick! Life is HELL! I try to be a Christian and I love of GOD and do the right thing, but without BAD LUCK, I would have no luck at all.

If you can tell me what to eat and make sure they go down softly, that would help Tex and Gabes. I am tired of the SCD! Warm Regards, Dorothy

Wow! that's quite a story. No wonder you've got MC. The stress has been at a tremendous level for decades.

Yes, seafood and fish should be fine. Melons are a problem for MC patients, especially watermellon. The well-cooked vegetables you mentioned should be OK. The broccoli may cause gas, so you'll have to see if you can handle them. The collard greens (well-cooked) should be OK and strawberries and raspberries in moderation should be OK. Bananas work OK for most of us. Peeled, well-cooked apples and pears are usually safe as long as you don't overdo the portion size.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Would it help if the fruit slides down our gut?"

In our suggested eating plan, we encourage minimal fruit. Bananas are a good option, small amount of cooked apple is ok.

This is for multiple reasons
- fruit is high fibre
- fruit is high fructose /sugar
- melons and ciitrus have other ingredients that are high inflammation for MC'ers


Breath, its tough at first, reading all this info, accepting and embracing these suggestions.
Giving up favourite foods, and feeling like you are being punished.
The other aspect to healing is the mental and emotional aspect. Right eating plan and supps, and meds have limited scope of success if we dont have good approach to life with MC and healing.
In the link above there is a section on good reads and resources to help with this.

The recent issue of the mc foundation newsletter had articles about various 'diets'. And an article about the mental and emotional aspects of healing. This newsletter maybe of interest to you and your husband.
