that's great that you found soy free source of turkey.
Deb's suggestion is a good one, making your own ground meat is another good option.
Quite often here in Australia, lamb leg is cheaper than ground meat, so I will ground it up myself.

You should be OK with casein then (at least after the inflammation fades away). Remember that when our intestines are inflamed we are also lactose intolerant, so if you eat or drink any dairy products, it would probably be a good idea to stick with low-lactose dairy products (until after your inflammation damage has healed). Aged cheese, or lactose-free milk, for example, should be OK now. You can even get lactose-free ice cream.lando wrote:I don't get constipated, and never have. I only get D.

My original test result for soy was 8 (back in May, 2005), and soy didn't bother me back then. But I avoided soy anyway, except for trace amounts in supplements, etc. 10 years later (September, 2015) I had a reaction to peanuts so I did a soy stool test again and sure enough, the result was 20.
So it's certainly possible for soy tolerance to fade away.Tex

That suggests that you may have had low level intestinal inflammation during those years, also.Lando wrote:I was Lactose Intolerant 15 years before I developed MC.

Don't know. But as long as I didn't ingest lactose, I had no symptoms of anything.tex wrote:That suggests that you may have had low level intestinal inflammation during those years, also.Lando wrote:I was Lactose Intolerant 15 years before I developed MC.

As far as me right now, I was doing pretty good until yesterday, but took some Immodium before the D came. It took 9 days. I am waiting to see a GI to see if I can get the Test ordered from him, so my insurance will pay for it. If doesn't work, I will get it on my own.
No. But I read this, and it doesn't cause any symptoms from it.Gabes-Apg wrote:Lando
are you using the immodium that is lactose free?
Most medications do not contain enough lactose to cause lactose intolerance. But some patients with severe lactose intolerance may experience symptoms.

Terry,
Thanks for sharing that information. It's hard to beat actual personal experience for verifying the threats posed by ingredients that should never have been added to medications in the first place.
