2013 Miss Int’l Bea Rose Santiago tuloy ang laban sa kidney disease; 5 times a week nagpapa-dialysis

NAGDA-DIALYSIS ngayon ang beauty queen na si Bea Rose Santiago limang beses sa isang linggo.

Nagbigay ng update ang Miss International 2013 tungkol sa kanyang health condition sa pamamagitan ng social media.

Noong 2018 inihayag ni Bea Rose sa publiko na meron siyang chronic kidney disease at patuloy nga niya itong nilalabanan.

Hindi pa natutuloy ang gagawing kidney transplant procedure sa kanya nang dahil sa COVID-19 pandemic na siya ring dahilan kung bakit kailangan pa rin niyang magpa-dialysis.

Ibinalita niya sa kanyang Instagram page ang ginagawa niyang effort sa sinusinod niyang diet, partikular na ang kanyang protein intake para sa kanyang dialysis.

“So I’ve been having a hard time with my protein intake and now I have low phosphate, low hemoglobin and having muscle aches.

“My Doctors and nutritionist recommended many vegan options but after 2 months I am now a pescatarian on the weekends and vegetarian on weekdays.

“I don’t consume cow’s milk and eggs but I do love oats milk and goat’s cheese,” pahayag niya.

Patuloy pa niya, “I need weekly Aranesp and Iron shots to help me since I dialyze 5x a week and each time is 8 hours while I sleep. Works like magic.”

Bilang isang plant-based eater, kinailangan niyang ibahin nang kaunti ang kanyang diet para mag-swak sa ginagawang gamutan.

“I love being plant based and right now I’m going to slowly transition AGAIN! Only problem is IM A LAZY COOK and a dialysis patient.

“Still recommending to all to live by a plant-based diet just make sure you eat proper nutrition,” chika pa niya.

Bumuhos naman ang mensahe mula sa mga followers and supporters ni Bea at nangakong ipagdarasal ang mabilis na paggaling niya.

“Stay strong Ms. Bea. I had the same experience. It’s been 8yrs beautiful yrs. Since I had my kidney transplant and nagka baby din ako after. Always pray lang, nothing is impossible with God. Take care po,” ayon sa isang IG user.

Kung matatandaan, isinapubliko ng beauty queen ang tungkol sa kanyang chronic kidney disease, “Yes, I’m sick. I damaged my kidneys when I was younger. My kidneys are more sensitive than a normal late 20s healthy woman.

“I can’t overdo things, and I just found out. Came to the hospital for my severe migraines and we found out something potentially more dangerous. I’m thankful but at the same time really scared.

“Guys, if you take pre-workout [drinks]… plus heavy workout, be careful! Apparently, there are many more like me! We damaged our kidneys because of our gym life!” ang pahayag noon ni Bea Rose.
