For the majority of my life I have had a sensitive stomach, suffering from pain for no reason. Some things always triggered my pain, for example spicy, fatty foods, or completely random items, such as root beer or pineapple. I quickly learned boundaries regarding food, as well as activities. Rigorous, abdominal focused exercise caused me great discomfort. However, it wasn’t until age 14 that I reached my peak, crippled with debilitating abdominal pain, lasting about two hours each day, bedridden for hours. Petrified, my parents took me to the local clinic where I underwent numerous blood tests and an ultrasound. However, due to the lack of resources, I was transferred to Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee. There, I did more blood …show more content…
Although pain associated with eating is not part of the major symptoms of FAPS, many patients experience greater pain with food consumption. Patients often try a nondairy or gluten-free diet prior to being diagnosed with FAPS, and some continue post diagnosis as well. However, a recent review concluded there is no substantial evidence that a dairy-free diet is beneficial. Similarly, studies show that gluten-free diets do not play a major role in FAP symptoms, and more research is needed before this diet can be recommended to FAPS patients (Tilburg and Felix 144). The last type of diet patients try is FODMAPs, which stands for fermentable oligosaccharides, disaccharides, monosaccharides, and polyols. Essentially, this includes the sugars found in wheat, milk, legumes, sugar-free mints, and apples that are poorly absorbed in the GI system. However, not all FODMAPs trigger symptoms and they vary from patient to patient. This option has a much higher success rate in adults, but more research is needed to prove success in children (Tilburg and Felix 144). While exploring my treatment options, I was given FODMAP information by my doctor, but after looking at the list of foods and remembering I am a picky eater, I decided to not try this diet. Instead, I focused on eliminated the majority of trigger foods in my …show more content…
Numerous other forms of non-pharmacological treatment exist, but require more research in order to gain acceptance in the medical community. These treatments include, but are not limited to, herbal medicine and acceptance based therapy. Researchers Rao Liu and Ning Wang studied the use of Chinese herbal medicine, and found limited results due to the lack of clinical studies and basic research regarding Chinese herbal medicine (7). Lastly, a study was conducted to test the effectiveness of acceptance based therapy in young children with functional abdominal pain. Instead of using distraction as a pain management technique, children were encouraged to express their pain, in hopes of children being able to better differentiate pain from other sensations (Zucker, Nancy, et al 201). However, there is a need for more rigorous trials to further develop this research. Functional abdominal pain has vast treatment variety, but lacks the trials and evidence to
FODMAP are a group of short-chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols that are naturally found in foods or food additive and are poorly absorbed within the body. A diet low in FODMAPs, usually known as the “low FODMAPs diet”, is scientifically proven as the most effective dietary therapy for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS).(1) Following a low FODMAP diet can reduce symptoms related to IBS including excessive wind, abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, diarrhea and constipation and has also been proven to reduce symptoms of fatigue, lethargy and poor concentration.(2)
Emmy Noether was born on March 23,1882 in Erlangen Germany, and died on April 14, 1935 in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. I couldn't find anything about her childhood or anything about her family so I'm going to go straight into why she is "famous" and how she became "famous".
As someone that deals with some level of pain or discomfort on a regular basis, my expression of pain and its management is quite different from others. I have a tendency for higher pain tolerance and to minimize the effects the pain has on me. My life can be pain free and something as simple as a sneeze can cause a migraine and the most effective remedy for me is to just try to lay down and sleep it off. On the other hand, when one of my kids try to talk to me about their pain I am very inquisitive with them to try and get the exact cause and feeling of the pain from them. Pain management in our house is first dealt with in a non-pharmacological way.
Twelve-year-old Hispanic male D.C. presented to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center Emergency Department the morning of May 14, 2015, accompanied by his mother, for complaints of abdominal pain and vomiting that began that morning at 0100. While in the ED, D.C. complained of abdominal pain which he rated ten out of ten, so he was given a GI cocktail with Pepto-Bismol, as well as morphine for pain and Zofran for nausea, and his pain decreased to seven out of ten. Due to D.C.’s complaints of abdominal pain, which included his right lower quadrant, the ED physician caring for him ordered an ultrasound of his appendix. This ultrasound was non-diagnostic, as D.C.’s appendix was not visualized. Because he had a clinical
A trial is set to kick off during the upcoming year that will enable those who suffer from celiac disease, which causes gluten allergies and sensitivities, to eat gluten products, which includes pasta! University of Alberta scientists are working towards creating a pill comprised of chicken egg yolks that could enable people celiac disease sufferers to effectively digest gluten.

Sustenance sensitivities set in when the safe framework erroneously distinguishes protein in the nourishment as a danger to the body. Subsequently, your body discharges certain chemicals to forestall "contamination." These chemicals trigger unfavorably susceptible responses which incorporate queasiness, stomach torment, weariness, looseness of the bowels, rashes, bothersome skin, mid-section torment, and unexplained weight reduction.
In further details: Pastas (dumplings, couscous, and gnocchi), Noodles (ramen, soba, chow mein, and egg noodles), Crackers (pretzels, graham crackers, and goldfish), Cereal (even corn flakes and rice puffs, because they usually contain malt), Breakfast foods (waffles, biscuits, french toast), Sauces (gravies, soy sauce, and some cream sauces), and anything that uses wheat
I have lived and interacted with numerous medical professionals who believe that most people in the society misunderstand the gluten diet facet with many citing that, the gluten-free diet ought not being taken by patients with Celiac disease as it would cause more harm to a person without Celiac disease. A gluten-free diet which entails the exclusion of protein from products such as wheat has been an ultimate answer to the concern of patient with Celiac disease. However, gluten avoidance for people without celiac disorder may have no substantial value which may also affect their health as well as
In the twenty first century everyone is looking for a way to be healthy. Whether that is by eating lean meats, staying away from carbohydrates or even avoiding gluten. While some people believe going on these diets makes them healthier they do not understand why or the consequences they may face in the future. Gluten is becoming a well know ingredient; many stores have added gluten- free sections and restaurants have added gluten-free meals to the menu. However some people fail to recognize what gluten truly is, where it can be found and how it actually effects one’s body.
After we found this out it was a huge change in what I was allowed to eat. I had to start eating things that were gluten-free because they didn’t contain wheat. Almost everything that was gluten-free was nasty with a caps on. They were horrible and had no taste. The worst food I had to eat was gluten-free pizza crust, so nasty. After, a year and a half of a gluten-free diet I was tested again and they found out I was no longer allergic to wheat. Two summers ago I had to go to the E.R for my first swollen lip for allergies since the first time. My parents gave me 50 mg and then after we went to the hospital I was given 50 more mg. When this happened I was drowsy for about 5 days after. A week later, I had another allergic reaction and this time
Do you know anyone who follows a gluten-free diet? If so, what type of medical condition do they have that has restricted them to this diet? If you do not know anyone personally, what types of medical conditions would restrict an individual to this diet?
In modern-day China, 45 billion pairs of chopsticks are used each year. Ever since a long, long time ago, China has been using the same tools to prepare their foods. In addition, their cooking recipes are mostly affected by what can be grown in the area they lived in. All of their techniques and flavors are combined into one single dish. Chinese cuisine has been full of special flavors and techniques for many years.
Moses was a chosen leader, hand chosen by God for a purpose. God instilled leadership characteristics in him from the time of Moses’s birth. These characteristics: integrity, faith, confidence, listening abilities, teachable, obedience, foresight, diligence, and determination prepared Moses for the work that God had for him. During the time of Pharaohs’ decree to kill all male babies born, Moses’s mother knew he was special. She hid his birth for three months and fearing for her son’s life, she devised a plan to save his life. When Pharaoh’s daughter discovered this Hebrew child floating in a basket at the edge of the river, her sister suggested she find a Hebrew woman to nurse him. Even as a baby, provision was made to instill
