Matzos and butter
04/04/12 at 13:57:16
 
I've been on a regiment of Zantac, Zyrtec, NasalCrom, Ketophen eye drops, Singulair, Flo-vent, Vitamin D everyday and stopped taking the Vyvanse XR (for ADHD).  I'm feeling well and found I can eat Matzos and butter with no ill effects.  Problem is, I'm gaining weight now that I'm stabilized on meds.  Anyone else put on weight?

Oh yeah, I weigh more now that I am so stable. Darn!!!! Being stable allows me to eat more things than I used to be able to eat.  That is not always to my advantage! I have always felt that I have a really low metabolism, so it such a battle for me to lose weight. I require lots of exercise and barely any eating to see any results, and that is not the easiest thing to do with IA/MCAS.

Very curious that you can eat Matzo! I learned many years ago, that I have to avoid all matzo products, except for just a little bit. It just goes to show how we are all so different from each other, although we all have some form of mast cell disease.

I can eat Matzo, but also seem to have a low metabolism, have to exercise and be careful of what I eat so my clothes will still fit!  My thyroid is just right, so it's not that.  I do tend to lose weight in a flare.

So glad you're feeling better!

The steroids jacked up my weight fast so I don't know what's what

Barely eating but don't fit my clothes :S

Hope I will be able to rectify it once more stable and able to exercise

@ Ana

My dad with Myastenia Gravis has been on steroids for years.  He really ballooned up from them.  He is always hungry he says.

I always had really good metabolism until now.  I'm feeling better with H1 and H2 meds but I guess between this and my age it was bound to happen.   I will take the added weight as long as I feel good!

Not to appear stupid but does Matzos have gluten?  Breads make me feel like hell so this fixes my bread cravings.
