- Glutamine (0.5 - 5 grams per day, up to 30 for Folfiri) may help restore some of the GI lining. 1 gram or less did wonders here on daily chemo.
- Pancreatic enzymes have helped some people on chemo with diarrhea.
-
Prebiotics, or even PSK may help.
- Deleting folic acid fortified foods and supplements will reduce useless 5FU side toxcities that cause stomatitis and ulceration. Natural folates are the correct folates. 5FU + folic acid is highly incompatible for about half the population. As
previously discussed, supplements with natural folates are most preferred.
- IV vitamin C helps prevent and repair internal and external tissue breakdowns from 5FU. With oral mega-MK4 added, IVC helps 5FU kill "our" KRAS mutants and prevent bone loss. IVC should also reduce the amount of Avastin needed for VEGFA reduction, by HIF-1a inactivation
and neutralization of (excess) histamine triggers. Along with all our other goodies we don't even miss Avastin or take weeks off 5FU (bad things happen in 7-14 days, or less).
