SpecialOrderDo certain foods makeyou sick? Find out if it’san allergy or an intolerance“NO ONIONS, PLEASE. I’M ALLERGIC.”How often do you hear statementslike that when dining out with friendsor family? Although it may very well betrue, it’s more likely that your diningcompanion has an intolerance to the foodin question, rather than an actual allergy.“It’s a big misconception,” says RassaShahidzadeh, MD, a gastroenterologiston the medical staff at Baylor RegionalMedical Center at Plano. “Having areaction when you eat a particular fooddoesn’t necessarily mean you have anallergy.”WHat’s tHe diFFerenCe?So what distinguishes an allergy froman intolerance?“An allergic reaction produces serious—even deadly—symptoms, like rash,respiratory distress, gastrointestinalproblems and shock,”Dr. Shahidzadeh says.“An intolerance is whenyou eat something andyou don’t like the wayyou feel after.”For example, whenpeople who are lactoseintolerant drink milk,they may experience gas,cramping and diarrhea,but the symptoms eventually pass ontheir own once the milk is out of thesystem. Allergic reactions, on the otherhand, worsen without treatment.a tHird possiBilitYAnother condition that is often confusedwith food allergies is celiac disease. “It’sneither an allergy nor an intolerance,”Dr. Shahidzadeh says. “Celiac diseaseis a genetic disorder in certain peoplewho get very sick when they eat a typeof wheat called gluten. In these people,their immune system reacts to gluten,causing damage to the bowel.”Symptoms range from bloating,cramping, diarrhea and blood in thestool to seemingly unrelated side effectssuch as liver abnormalities, hair lossand tooth decay.

It’s important to get a diagnosis.Treatment for each condition alwaysinvolves avoidance of the food that givesyou a reaction. If you have an intolerance,you can try substitution products likelactose-free milk. But Dr. Shahidzadehstresses the importance of strict avoidanceof gluten for those with celiac disease.“Avoid it as if it’s poison,” he says. “Andbe on the lookout for gluten in productsyou would never guess it’s in, like hotdogs, salad dressing and even lipstick.”8The number offoods that accountfor 90 percent offood allergens: milk,eggs, peanuts, treenuts, wheat, soy, fishand shellfish.4 BaylorHealth.comBoy: ©Getty Images/Goodshoot RF; bread: ©Stockbyte

Plus, it is aseffective as mastectomywhen combined withradiation therapy.”Mastectomy is thecomplete removal ofbreast tissue. “Thereare a few cases wheremastectomy is a betterchoice,” Dr. Bhogarajusays. “For example, ifthe tumor is very largeand the breast is small,a lumpectomy wouldleave the patient with avery misshapen breastwhile mastectomy wouldallow for a completereconstruction. Anothercase would be whencancer appears inmultiple areas or whena patient is unable totolerate radiation.”Talk to your oncologistto determine whichoption is right for you.BaylorHealth.com 7

GettingWeight LossRightTips to help when thescale just won’t budgeThis week you walked five miles, skipped yourdaily soda and even shunned those chocolatecupcakes in the break room at work. Yet whenyou stepped on the scale, there was no rewardfor your efforts and restraint. What gives?While you’re trying to be “good,”you could actually be bunglingyour weight loss efforts without even knowingit. With help from Colleen Kennedy, MD, abariatric surgeon on the medical staff at BaylorRegional Medical Center at Plano, we’ll showyou some common ways that many of us getweight loss wrong—and how to get thescale moving in the right direction.

WHAT YOU MAY BE GETTING WRONGPortion sizesWith foods like muffins, which were once smaller than abaseball and are now larger than a softball, it’s easy to seewhy we misjudge how much we should really be eating.“A single serving of protein is just 4 ounces, which isabout the size of a deck of cards, yet most people end upeating much more than that,” Dr. Kennedy says.HoW to get it rigHt: Use common objects (likecards) or even your hand to gauge proper portion sizes.But until you get the hang of it, measure your meals withan inexpensive kitchen scale. According to Dr. Kennedy,the average meal should contain about 4 ounces of protein,4 ounces of vegetables and about a quarter cup of complexcarbohydrates such as beans or brown rice.WHAT YOU MAY BE GETTING WRONGNot counting the small stuffThe vanilla syrup in your nonfat latte. Thegarlic mayo on your chicken sandwich. Sure,they weren’t the main attraction of yourmeal, but extras like these quickly add up. And if you’re notcounting them, you’re not fully aware of what you’re eating.HoW to get it rigHt: Dr. Kennedy recommendskeeping track of your carbohydrate, fat, protein and calorieintake in a food diary so you know how much you’re reallyeating and can make adjustments as needed.WHAT YOU MAY BE GETTING WRONGBeing impatientWhile dropping a pound or two per week is the safe way to loseweight, “we get frustrated with that,” Dr. Kennedy says. “Wewant 10 pounds off in a week. But if you’re losing that much,you’re losing water weight and you’re not going to keep it off.”HoW to get it rigHt: When it comes to weight loss,patience really is a virtue.“Slow and steady always works the best and keeps the weightoff longer,” Dr. Kennedy says.Having Trouble Losing Weight?Talk to your doctor about what might be behind yourinability to lose weight.

Butorganic chips still have calories—often just as many as regular potato chips.HoW to get it rigHt: “If something says fat-free,it usually has a lot of sugar, and if it’s sugar-free, it likelycontains more fat,” Dr. Kennedy says. “You have to look atthe labels carefully.”Avoiding processed foods altogether may be your bestoption. “Eating fresh fruits and vegetables and cooking yourmeat products from scratch is much better for you and willactually end up filling you up more,” she says.WHAT YOU MAY BE GETTING WRONGSkimping on proteinExercising is obviously great for burning calories, but it’snot all your body is burning, Dr. Kennedy says. “If you’renot getting enough protein and you’re exercising, your bodywill absolutely attack your muscle stores to get it, because itneeds protein to live.”HoW to get it rigHt: The average woman needsabout 60 grams of protein per day, and men need 80 to100 grams. And if you’re working out heavily, you’ll needeven more, Dr. Kennedy says. She suggests a boost of postworkoutprotein, such as a slice of low-fat cheese wrappedwith lunch meat, to help rebuild muscle.Supplementing Your EffortsEven when you’re doing your best to eatright, you still may not be getting theessential vitamins and minerals you need.Colleen Kennedy, MD, a bariatric surgeonon the medical staff at Baylor RegionalMedical Center at Plano, recommends:a daily multivitamin. “Unfortunately,our processed foods don’t have enoughvitamins,” she says. “And because evenour vegetables and fruits are processedmore to keep them safe to eat, theydon’t have the nutrients they used tohave either.”a calcium supplement withadded vitamin d. “We’ve beenwatching vitamin levels and routinelywhen we check, people are deficient invitamin D, which is needed for healthybones,” Dr. Kennedy says.an isolated vitamin d supplement.Many people may also need a separatevitamin D supplement for a couple ofreasons. “We’ve discovered we need ahigher level of vitamin D than we thoughtin the past,” she says. “And with thecombination of diet and staying out ofthe sun to prevent skin cancer, we’re notgetting enough vitamin D anymore.”To ensure you’re getting the rightamounts of vitamins and minerals tomeet your specific needs, Dr. Kennedyrecommends working with your doctorto have your levels checked.Woman on scale: ©Getty Images/Creatas RF; woman reading food label: ©Jupiterimages BaylorHealth.com 9

Decades of Research and ResultsNearly 20 years of study is revealing important information about colorectal cancerAN ONGOING RESEARCH STUDY atBaylor has already made importantdiscoveries about hereditary colorectalcancer. And as the project heads intoits 18th year, researchers are focusedon better identifying people at thehighest risk.Led by C. Richard Boland, MD,chief of gastroenterology for the GICancer Research Laboratory at BaylorResearch Institute and a physician onthe medical staff at Baylor UniversityMedical Center at Dallas, the projectrecently had its funding renewed bythe National Institutes of Health, whichhas helped fund the entire project.“It’s unusual to have a grant renewedas many times as ours has been,”Dr. Boland says. “You really have todemonstrate that there’s value incontinuing the research.”The study began by looking athereditary nonpolyposis colorectalcancer, an inherited form of thedisease that affects only about3 percent of people with colorectalcancer. After the genetic basis ofthe disease was discovered, it wasrenamed “Lynch syndrome.”Early on, researchers made apivotal discovery. They developed anexperimental model that permittedthe nature of Lynch syndrome to bestudied in detail, and they found thatthe mutations responsible for thedisease were also involved in regulatingcell proliferation. Eventually theyrealized that Lynch syndrome tumorsprobably wouldn’t respond as expectedto chemotherapy, which was laterconfirmed in clinical studies.The research has since expandedto include other types of familialHow to Get InvolvedParticipants for this study are selectedthrough physician referrals, so talk toyour doctor if you think you might be acandidate.

Researchers also wantto determine whether there’s a geneticcause of colorectal cancers that formin young people.As researchers continue studyingcolorectal cancer, they’re also lookingfor tumor markers that can betteridentify the exact nature of the tumor.Ultimately, Dr. Boland says, thegoal is to develop ways of predictingwhether people are at high risk fordeveloping cancer, whether the canceris likely to recur and if the tumorsmight respond to chemotherapy orother treatments.“The goal of the research is tostratify people into those at highestrisk—who should get colonoscopies,and maybe more frequently—and thosewho are never going to get colorectalcancer,” he says. “If the results ofthe research could relieve a portionof the population from the need fora colonoscopy, I think many peoplewould see that as a heroic discovery.”10 BaylorHealth.com

IRVINGGARLANDFT. WORTHPLANODALLASprostate CanCer:are You at risk?New guidelines from the U.S. Preventive Services TaskForce no longer call for men to have routine bloodtests for prostate cancer. But urologists andcancer experts across the nation want men toknow that that doesn’t mean they shouldn’tget screened at all.Instead, it means that you need to work closelywith your doctor to determine a screening schedule that’s right for you.For most men, that means talking to your doctor about prostate cancerscreenings at age 50, as recommended by the American Cancer Society.But men at high risk should consult their doctors earlier, at age 45. And thoseat highest risk should begin the discussion at 40. Talk to your doctor aboutwhat’s right for you.Moving in the Right DirectionIn an age of increasing rates of obesity,it’s rare to hear good news on thediabetes front.
