Re: diet

[Guest guest]

Thanks, but I would like to differ on this, no offense intended. I

personally find that my BS will go up if I eat too much of any of the

" free " foods. They usually have carbs too and it is the total sum of

all that effects the BS.

Oh how I love cherry tomatoes and due to this and my hand popping them

like candy BS went up high enough I had to walk treadmill to bring

back down. Some people are addicted to chocolate but don't get cherry

tomatoes too close to me!!!

I count individual carbs and control via diet/exercise only. Always

good to know whether the poster is on meds or not.

Randall,

I don't know how many folks on the list are on

Coumadin (blood thinner) besides me. Brocolli is one

of those

veggies that shouldn't be consumed in large quantity

if you are on coumadin.

Or any other green vegetable! Coumadin blocks vitamin K, normally

important for platelet function, but if you eat green veggies when you

need anticoagulation, you mess up your INR ( extended clotting time).

As a result, you can be prescribed too much coumadin.

Another no-no is St. 's Wort. Often there aren't adequate warnings

on preparations. There's quite a cross over between diabetes and a need

for anticoagulation, and I was warned against fad diets.

Hi ,

This diet has helped me in many ways, as I am off medication, although not

totally pain free in my hands, my back and shoulders hurt only when I have to

work too hard. It is a very healing diet, but expects some ups and downs, as

your body begins the healing process. You will start having more and more

good/better days. You gradually change, so it is not a shock to the body.

bipass reading the posts(sorry) but have just been too busy with two small

children, full time job and dealing with fibro, Ankylosing Spondylitis and

Degenerative Arthritis. I was really drawn into the conversations that Joanne

was having and was surprised that she had been diagnosed with AS recently as

well. I've known for 2 years now and have been undergoing a multitude of

treatments, now on Cymzia if I can get my insurance to approve it. Recently I

had a really bad fibro attack with the development of fever from sinus infection

and bronchitis. I forgot how bad the pain can be. By far, it is the most

painful condition that I have when it flares and it makes me a little crazy.

I'm very curious about this low carb or no carb diet you all are talking about.

If it helps with the pain as you say it does, I really want to try it. I'm so

glad to have found some people who are experiencing some of the same issues I

am!! Could someone send me more information on the diet?
