Hello
My wife has CREST syndrome since 1991. She started AP 2004. After 7 years of improvement, she developed Gastro Paresis 3 years ago. Since that time her joints, skin, dementia have all been going downhill. She still has 5 days of Clindamycin IV’s with Dr S twice a year, and one IV each of the remaining months, and she takes 2 Minocyclin pills per day. The problem is food stays in her stomach 14 hours. This makes it difficult for her mino to be absorbed. Does anyone have any ideas on how she could best absorb her mino?
Thanks!Robert Fuller
Hawk6868@aol.comHi Robert;
been there and done that.The only thing that helped digest food faster were digestive enzymes.GNC has a great blend and does not cost much.A big bottle of 240 capsules costs around 30-32$.I take 2 before every meal and one for a snack.This also solved my Gerd problem as the food was not coming up and burning my esophogus.I also take one milliont twohundred good probiotics a day to prevent bacterial overgrowth in the gut.I’m just fine now but it took several months to get over that mess.Make sure your probiotic capsules are “enteric” coated so they disolve in the gut.If not the stomach acid will kill most of the good bugs off and that gets to be an expensive mistakeHi Hawk;
