Fructose
Posted , 9 users are following.
Just wanted to say I've just been diagnosed with fructose intolerance which has reconfirmed to me the link between the gut and lichens. I did suspect as I always have a massive flare when I drink wine. So I'm now thinking of doing fodmap diet any advice welcome xx

Do keep an eye on your bowel habits cos there are other complaints that may be the cause of constipation. Do NOT be brushed off by you GP when you visit and tell them. Show your food exercise and fluid intake for a couple of weeks, to demonstrate you may need further investigation. There is a worrying trend of GPs to think of their budget now they are fund holders...so their salaries may be in competition with investigation and treatment regimes...this is in the UK....where the NHS is under pressure

Hi Justine
There is a connection between food and LS. Â I can't have sugar which is terrible.
I am having huge flare up right now!

Constipation has caused my entire alimentary tract from oesophagus to rectum to cause me misery and discomfort from one end to the other. Oesophageal disease to IBS to constipation to prolaps bladder from straining to 'go'. PPIs for twenty years plus ranitidine and Lactulose etc etc were just band aids.
Went on the FODMAPS PLUS cut out gluten and dairy as well. The results started to show.Â
Then due to LP of the eroding vulval kind I was forced to make futher huge changes, cutting out all sugar, preservatives, all nightshade family, alcohol free already,
Caffeine (the HARDEST, also tea)Â
Dried fruit is the worst as it concentrates any sugars.
I never eat food that comes from a packet, large amount.vegies are the secret, some fruits like bananas and occasional apricot.
But grapes sadly very high fruit sugar. Organic meat in small quantities and loads organic chicken, fish including oily. Recently started probiotic sauerkraut. Yummmm.
I also take  flax seed oil twice a day plus a good probiotic and slippery elm in a smoothie with rice milk and blueberries.Â
A specialist physio is working with me to do the keigels to help with mild prolapse.
the LP was a blow and I developed osteoarthritis with it in my fingers which are bent and twisted in just two months.Â
I believe  stress and the wrong food are literally killing us if not crippling us. It took me huge shocks to my system to start to fight back. I am seventy and in my last eight months fight for wellness I lost weight so fast from just stress at my illness, at how unfair life was and how much pain I was in, It caused electrolyte imbalances but they are being addressed and now I am healthier by dropping over two stone. Just don't do it in a few months!!!
The family member who causes me the big stress, I have had to truly distance myself from. He's my son but he's as toxic as a box of chocolates. Worse. So for now he's mostly a distantly polite phone call now and then.Â
Joe, the FODMAPS is invaluable for gastric problems but for LP and LS you have to go further, especially with the sugar intake. It's really worth it. It's my bible now. Â good luck.
