I think the diet is great, actually! I've read alot about treating hyperprolactinemia with radiation, and I'm not particularly impressed with the hormonal-outcomes that have been published regarding radiation control for excess prolactin. I also wonder if the radiation approach (for a stable tumor or not visible tumor) could cause loss of other pituitary hormones that at present, may be in normal ranges. Not all hyperprolactinemia has to be treated with meds. In some cases, the doctor may manage the side effects (missed periods, and potential bone loss issues to name two) independently. One early common treatment for hyperprolactinemia was with HRT before the days of dompamine agonists. As far as diet affecting prolactin levels, I guess it will take time and testing to determine if the diet is making a direct difference with the hormone levels. I am interested in the long term outcome. I am sure that she is much healthier for the changes! Good job mom! ![]() Prolactin levels swing - it isn't uncommon for test results to swing from month to month. I know in my case, my doctor was very concerned about my prolactin level doubling, but he explained that my result may be because he had done my testing during mid-cycle, when prolactin could be at the highest. He had me come back right before my next cycle began, the next month, and was much happier with the result. Any success stories out there about how diet seemed to help your hormonal profile? ![]() Thanks for sharing! Minnie |
