I’ve made an appointment with a health professional and I made up a list of all the vitamins and supplements I take so they have it in my file. I’m narcissistic enough to think you might want to see it too 🙂
…. ABOUT ME: I eat a mostly unprocessed diet with the occasional can of soup, pasta, crackers or bread a couple of times a month. Otherwise it’s chicken, fish, some cheese, some tofu, veggies. Potatoes are my main starch. I keep my fat grams about 40-60 grams a day, no butter, I use Earth Balance.
I eat no red meat, no pork since 2005.
I had my gall bladder out in 2004 after 2 bouts with gallstone pancreatitis.
I got another pancreatitis attack a year later and learned to change my diet, lower my fats, start cooking healthy and stop eating lumberjack quantities of fried meats and bread. My website at www.goddessgrub.com is all about my healthy eating journey. These are the supplements I take each day for past year or so:
— I take Pancreatin as a digestive enzyme before each meal as I had my gall blader out in 2005Pancreatin (equivalent to 2000 mg of pancreatin USP, providing Amylase 50,000 USP units, Protease 50,000 USP units [trypsin and chymotrypsin], Lipase 8,500 USP units
