Diet Database?

[Guest guest]

My mother is 79, diabetic, and also has problems with her colon, gallbladder

and kidneys, has severe arthritis and probably some other things I'm not

aware of. Each time she goes to a doctor he/she or a nurse or dietician tell

her what foods are good and what to avoid, for that specific medical problem

she went in for. The problem is, with three or four major things wrong with

her, each of these " specialists " confuses her even further with what's good

and what's not, so she's left bewildered and just plain disgusted from the

whole mess. My question is probably way out there and maybe not possible,

but is there any known database that I could download that would give a wide

range of foods and then show perhaps in different columns, what foods would

be OK for diabetes, which ones are good if you have colon problems,

gallbladder, etc., etc. It would be nice if perhaps I had something in

black-and-white to show my dad, who could help my mom and also help her

understand what common foods will be best for her. I can tell her all I want

my opinion on certain foods, but next doctor visit, it's back to confusion

city. It's like I'm working against the docs and nutritionists, who can't

seem to agree on a set of foods she needs to stick with. Perhaps solid print

data will seem more valid if there is such a list. Any takers on this?
