Lymphedema Management and Nutrition - Jean LaManta, RD - Boston Lymphatic Symposium 2021

[@cindydemanche3839]

I have primary and secondary lymphedema of both legs. I have been on the Ketogenic way of eating (which is an anti-inflammatory way of eating) for almost two years now, intermittant fast every day, have dropped over 100 lbs, DO NOT restrict salt, but DO NOT use regular table salt. I use pink himalayan salt or Remond real salt. I have reversed prediabetes, and have gotten off BP meds that I was on for more than 40 years with the SAD (standard American diet) diet. Sodium is a necessary electrolyte we all need!! Also, I track my food intake daily, and have from the start. I have very little swelling, I do take a diuretic and wear gradient compression socks most every day.

I have the same symptoms as you and I have not been able to lose weight. I also have conjestive heart failure so my fluid intake is limited. I do do intermittent fasting, I am doing calorie intake, 1400 a day. I wear the compression stockings and biker shorts. I am not seeing anything different.

Great advice, thanks. I do have a bucket of Redmond. Grounding or Earthing is anti-inflamatory and you can buy a sheet so you sleep grounded. Keep up the good work and keep sharing.

@@starsoul_7sometimes when you don’t get results it could have to do with your adrenals needing some healing or stability or the gut not having correct amount of hydrochloride stamp has acid or lack of digestive enzymes…listen to Dr. Ezabella Watz about this topic… when these imbalances gets corrected then you should try and see beneficial results from keto diet and intermittent fasting…

I had cellulitis and two venous reflux procedures and still had swelling and weeping below my knees. After bandaging, the weeping stopped, sores healed and now trying to figure out what to do. MMore than a year wasted even after diagnosis 2-1-22. I hope you have received help by now. I am going to try Ketogenic eating plan next.
