Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I certainly do!! They were type 1, 2a, 2b, 3, 4, and 5. Each had a different diet associated with it. We had a booklet for each and it was based on cholesterol levels, triglyceride. LDL, HDL,levels and maybe VLDL, I can't remember clearly.I barely remember the A and B vegetables but did use the butterballs for our renal patients. As I remember it was purely unsalted butter mixed with confectioners sugar and we used peppermint flavoring and green food coloring. Kind of like a big butter mint. Patients loved them!!! We also had a House tube feeding that was baby meat, baby vegetables, cream of wheat cereal, and I can't remember what else, maybe some MCT oil for good measure...... I am so glad we have advanced....what does the future hold? Cece This message is intended for the use of the addressee only and may contain information that is privileged and confidential.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Susie, there have been others commenting that share the same dark-ages memories. Digna curiosity question Just food for thought and not being a big research person Do we have double blind studies on the following diets: Bland Clear Liquids Full Liquids Low residue No nuts, seeds I've seen studies on low fat, low sodium, controlled carbs etc... However, most of these studies I've seen are groups being rotated from diet a, b, c over a series of weeks. Most of the studies have not been in controlled environment. Meaning it could be other factors influencing their success/failure. Epidemiological studies only come up with common factors. If there's no studies on these diets, then how did we come up with them? Was it based on what worked, what didn't work? Or just someone's brainstorm? We accept these as appropriate " treatment " , but do we have the research? Just curious. Research is not my forte'.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 Now, I wonder how many remember those formulas? I was so thrilled when Meritene arrived, even though it lumped I agree that for the time, those were state of the art inteventions, or treatments, whatever we chose to call them.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 On a personal basis, since rice is one of my very favorite foods and I am used to having it daily (in much larger quantity than 1/3 cup) I suffered a serious trauma when the portion was reduced. I wonder what we'll be commenting (if we're still able to comment) about the glycemic index based diets 20 or 30 years from now?

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 That was the American Heart Association Type 1-4 diets, and we had physicians ordering that until about 15 years ago. Re: curiosity question I forgot al about the A and B vegetables. However, I'm still recovering from rice and pasta going from 1/2 cup per serving to 1/3 cup. There was also hyperlipidemia diets that were set in to four classifications depending on what was high or low. Type 1 thru type 4. I don't remember the name of it. I think that might have gone out of style about 20 years ago or so. Anyone remember it?
