Guest guest Posted October 19, 2000 Report Share Posted October 19, 2000 Adri, Green beans or wax beans are okay. Beans like refried beans or pork and beans are absolutely out. Carrots aren't too bad if raw because of the fiber count, but the fiber breaks down if cooked and they are then high carb and not on the list of okay veggies. So you may be okay and maybe not okay depending on which beans you are talking about and how you eat your carrots.

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2000 Report Share Posted October 20, 2000 Adri, My first suggestion to you would be to drop the wine all together for a month and see what happens. And secondly, I'd add a serving of low carb veggies at lunch time, as well. I bet you'd see that those two things might work for you.

They are definitely CARBS. Go thru your daily menu again, and >count those carbs. You'll see where the problem lies. I hate being the only one who ever defends carrots...(doesn't anyone else eat carrots?) But, carrots are actually pretty low carb. 1/2 cup chopped raw carrots have 5.5 grams of carbs (less than 4 grams if you subtract fiber) 1/2 cup chopped cooked carrots have 8.19 grams of carbs (5.62 if you subtract fiber) Depending on your CCL and what else you want to eat, carrots can easily be a part of a low carb diet. I know green beans have already been defended to death in different posts, but they are also very low carb in case you missed the previous posts. Hope this helps, Wen Wen Zientek-Sico Wen@...

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2000 Report Share Posted October 21, 2000 Yes, I also eat carrots, in moderation, as well as green beans. I think most of the problem for many of us is that we have a hard time learning what the word " moderation " means! Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 21, 2000 Report Share Posted October 21, 2000 I confess Wen. I eat carrots! Their carb count is a little higher than some other veggies, but that just means the portion size has to be adjusted slightly. I eat a wide variety of veggies because I am a veggie freak. Every night we have steamed veggies, usually 5-6 kinds, and carrots are often in there because they taste good, store well, and are a great source of vitamin A and beta-carotene. Sometimes I even *gasp* have carrots for breakfast because I eat it in the car these days in the wee hours of the morning and I find that crunching on carrot sticks is a great way to stay awake Kirstie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Hi K, By the way, where did the word " Sheila " come from, I hear it alot from those down under and always wondered. I am curious how the first attack turned out and what did doctors tell you then? You have to ask yourself what do you want in your future. If you are going to go with doctor and drugs then you should probably go soon. If you are choosing to start peeling away at the reasons why you have this disease and fight it naturally then you can just start today with that journey. Its your choice. We are here to help you with the natural approach if that is what you wish. kdyczek wrote: > > I am a newly diagnose MS sheila from down under.

Guest guest Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 K, I'm newly diagnosed too. My left side got really 'fuzzy' so that I was wondering if I was having a mild stroke. My left hand has gone in and out of typing ability over the course of the last year. As with everyone on this site, I can only tell you what I've been doing - YOU need to decide what is best for YOU. I have found slowing things down to be of the most help to the working of my hand (and over all). That's the de-stressing part. I also went on Rebif after my second opion Dr. vist. I think it has helped my over all condition. I also started eating healthier (within my knowledge) and am now looking into which therapies talked about here I will research and possibly try. Doing my own PT for my hand has helped a lot too for regaining ability. I'd broken that wrist several years back and used the strengthening exercises I learned then. I wish you the best of luck! > > I am a newly diagnose MS sheila from down under.
