Name: Janet Rose, 51 yrs old
Central New Jerey
Dx: 49 yrs old, B cell stomach MALT, stage I
Tx: no h-pylori present hence 4 weeks of
radiation of the lining of my stomach summer '00 (nausea and
intestinal disruption but dissipated a few weeks after treatment was
complete)
Follow up every 3 months the first 6 months, then
every six months alternating CAT scans and endoscopy (switched to PET
scans winter of 2001 due to intestinal sensitivity and special diet
disallowing the drink for the CAT). All tests negative for MALT to
date. June '02 absolutely no inflammation in the stomach for the first
time in two years.
My oncologist credits my diet for the change in
inflammation. It is called a specific carbohydrate diet (scd.com and
scd.org) explained in a book by Elaine Gottschall called
"Breaking the Vicious Cycle." I also have Lymphocytic
Colitis which has been completely in remission with the diet. I am on
no medications whatsoever - no acid reflux meds, no allergy meds, etc.
which I had been on for years.
I am willing to be contacted at handjrose@aol.com |
