GREETINGS --

You will find that the management of your diabetes will require a

coordinated effort on three fronts -- your diet, your exercise

regimen, and your medicine strategy. In the case of your diet you

are likely to find that the more carbohydrates you consume

(especially simple carbohydrates vs. complex carbohydrates) the more

difficult it will be to control your blood sugars. Over time I

dropped the carbs in my diet from 60% of the calories I consumed to

15% with excellant results. In the case of med strategy it will take

a while for your body to adapt to any new medicine while a residual

builds up and stabilizes. Your meds might need to be increased in

steps until yoiur blood sugars lower to an acceptable level. I found

that patience and persistance are needed day by day to best deal with

my diabetes and other ailments.

Hi and welcome. I see that you love to cook and if you love to

cook you should also love to eat. You weight could be giving you

problems, are you over weight? Getting those carbs lowered will be a

big help. This site has a lot of recipes. I found them in the file

section. How often do you test? I am sure you will learn from this

site as I have! What is your comfort food now?

Connie,

I had both of my sons on gf/cf for 2 years. My youngest had never had casein

and I slowly introduced it with SCD when he was 2 and he does fine with it. I

do think it causes some nasal drainage and increased hyperactivity in both my

children, but some days they get a lot of it with yogurt shakes and cheese. I

will tell you that my older son had been on casein, then off for 2 years, and

then back on it and he has grown in height the best on casein, as oppossed to

soy or other forms of calcium. My younger son grew and gained weight

tremendously after starting this diet. I hope this helps.

has been on the gfcf diet close to 3 yrs now. We did see improvement,

but I know this SCD diet can do so much more for him. Since birth he

has had problems with milk( we were frequently changing formulas

because of constipation and excessive gas) After reading the BTVC book

I would like to include the dairy in the diet. My question is: How

successful has it been for a child on a gfcf diet to have dairy

introduced with this diet? I would appreciate any feedback from other

parents who have included the dairy in the diet for a child who has

been on a gfcf diet in the past. Thank you, Connie

---Hello. My son is 16 months old and was diagnosed PDD at 14

months. I had him on the gf/cf diet for 3 months. He did not do

well on it at all, he had chronic diarreha, became alarmingly thin

and looked like he was becoming very, very sick and weak. I had

taken him off the Similac formula both regular and soy and had him

on rice milk and almond milk. I then found out about the SCD diet

in mid september and he has improved SO MUCH I can't even believe

it. The only casein he gets is in the homemade goat's milk yogurt

and several times a week I add some liquid calcium. No cheeses or

any other dairy and no wheat/gluten. He's gained weight, grew in

height, is happier in general and has normal looking stools. I had

extreme difficulty finding a doctor familiar with SCD so I have been

doing it on my own. The BTVC book and the internet are all I use.

I have an appt with a nutrionist so I'll see how it goes. Good luck

to you and please let us know how your child does.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Dennis and I joined the group today. So I wanted to drop a note

and say hi. Last weekend was a life changer for me, on Saturday night I had a

heart attack. Just before I was leased from hospital, I was given information on

the new stint that was placed in my heart, suggestions of a follow up

appointment with a local cardiologist; then the doctor said I should get

friendly with the South Beach Diet. I would welcome all comments on how the diet

has worked for you and suggestions from other who are in or have been in

recovery from a heart attack.

Peace and Joy,

Dennis
