Guest guest Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Hi, I am new here and would like to ask for any help in regards to diet. Just recently was diagnosed with Type 2. Do have a cookbook from the American Diabetes Organization and been to the site where Avandia, the drug I am taking, has recipes. One thing is that these recipes tend to be somewhat involved and some of the ingredients cost. Is there something economical and easy to fix out there? I work full time and do not have a lot to spend in $$$ or in time but wondered what is out there that one could microwave or easy and cheap to fix......but balanced. Any help would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I have a fibromyalgia cookbood. It says that we should stay away from red meat because it's harder for our bodies to digest. It tells us to stay away from caffeine, carbonation, processed sugars, red meat, and as much yeast food products as possible. Yeast stays in our system and then builds up and builds up until it crystalizes in our muscles and give us muscle pain. If you take Malic acid it kind of counter balances the accumulated yeast. -Jayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Meg, Magnesium is a primary ingredient of all FMS supplements. Why would you not want to take it? I tried going without the supplement years ago and found that I'd have more pain. It's a neccesity for me if I want to function at all. I've also felt a lot better when on a low carbohydrate diet. I've recently cut out caffeine and carbonated beverages and have more endurance and energy. Also, I found if I take in too lmuch sodium during the day, I pay at night with tingling feet and restless legs at night. Diet, I think, is an important consideration to make ourselves more comfortable. /Dachsie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain health conditions or just dangerous in general. 2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation better. 3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is: Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe 4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense of humor. 5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let us know so that we can do our best to offer our support. Have a nice day everyone.
