re: yogurt cream/ diabetes

[Guest guest]

we are all, the whole family, on the diet, although my husband doesnt stick to

it outside of home.

Both of my boys and I are on it and we make wonderful strawberry/ banana

smoothies for us. My youngest with Ds has eaten yogurt as a main part of his

diet since he was a baby so he eats a lot of it still.

He does not have a diarreha ( I dont know how to spell that word), problem. His

problem is more of constipation but the yogurt helps that. I was also giving him

the acidophilus supplement.

I, on the other hand, seem to need this diet more than anyone. If I cheat just

one time, like I did during the holidays, I pay for it the next day, either with

a sugar problem or bad intestinal (the Big D word) problems.

Which brings me to another thing..... I have a sugar problem so when I make my

desserts, I have to use sweet and low. If I use honey, like I do for the kids, I

have the shakes the next day. I do not seem to have that problem when I eat

fruits.

I am borderline diabetic (I had it real bad when I was pregnant and had to have

insulin shots). I do believe I was diabetic before I started this diet, although

the Doc's would say no. My sugar would be around 147 after fasting in the

mornings.

Since I have cut out the carbs (I actually started on Atkins and switched to

SCD) my fasting sugar is now a normal 70 and I feel a hundred percent batter.

Eating the SCD carbs seem to not affect my sugar, except sweet things like honey

or juice, but not fruit.

Does anyone on here have anything similar in regards to diebetes?

oh... and still no one has answered my question about making whipping cream )

My goal is to learn how to make goat cheese, cream, cream cheese..... besides

just yogurt <grin>

thanks a bunch!

I had been using a lot of honey as I have at least three servings of yogurt

a day and often add honey to other recipes too. Since going off a T supplement

three weeks ago I have had rapid weight gain and will moderate not eliminate

honey as it has some good nutritional properties. Instead, I now dissolve

a saccharine tablet in few drops of warm water and add it to the yogurt and

it was really fine. (Hermasetes brand)

Judy..... I have never tried whipping yogurt..... somehow I think it wouldn't

work too well. I did try whipping coconut milk once..... and I can tell you THAT

doesn't work!

On the diabetes issue...... there is something called " insulin resistance " that

is like one step above diabetes. You might do a net search using that term and

see what you find. I'm not surprised that the SCD legal carbs don't bother you.

I know if (pre-SCD) I ate anything with real sugar in it.... anything more than

just a bite...... OR plain white bread, white rice, or popcorn, something like

that..... I would notice my heart pounding and then have just a feeling of

exhaustion come over me about half an hour later. Fruit..... even something like

a couple of large handfuls of raisins.... doesn't do it to me at all.
