Common Questions and Answers about Carbohydrate counter mac
carbohydrate
I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
Hi Grace,
You seem really well informed so I was hoping you could answer my question. About two weeks ago I was at the MAC makeup counter and the the lady was applying eye cream under my eyes. I guess she had a hand tremble...and she ended up poking my eye slightly with the brush. This made me freak out about the risk of transmission...mostly herpes ...of anything that might have been on the brush. My eye feels fine...but the what if's are killing me.
Not even in the same ballapark as Interferon; Ribavirin was the grand daddy of these new protease inhibitors.

Although she swears the brushes are cleaned betweeen people I'm still freaking out. My questions are
1.
Due to stomach problems, I have decided to try a Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Has anyone experienced relief on this diet?
So basically, this is what I got from it- fresh vegtables, fresh fruits, lean meats, most nuts, NO LACTOSE, NO SUGAR (except in fruits and honey), and NO STARCHES.
Is this about right? Also, what is the policy on yogurt and coconut milk?
I have tried over-the-counter creams and calamine lotion but neither seem to work. Anyone else experience this? Anyone have any advice? Now, for the embarrassing part. For the past few weeks I have noticed a yellow green discharge, it smells metallic somewhat like what blood smells like, is the best way I can describe it. I've researched it and it seems to be normal but others say it isn't. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and plan on talking to the doctor about it.
re doing some emotional eating, so the first thing you have to do, is try to counter that. Whenever you get ready to reach for food, the first question you should ask is: Am I really hungry? If the answer is even a "maybe not", then don't eat; find something else to occupy your time/mind until the urge to eat is past. It should only take about 10 minutes.
If you're really hungry, take a look at "what" you're eating.
Carbohydrate cravings are a hallmark of insulin utilization problems, and often signal the onset of diabetes. You need to see a physician and request a test called an hba1c, and preferably a fasting glucose test as well. "Checking the sugar" is meaningless because at times you may have normal blood sugar, depending on when you have eaten.
When used in larger amounts, as in cooking and baking, these calories and carbohydrate should be accounted for by carbohydrate counting or by using starch/bread exchanges. As an example, one half cup of SPLENDA® Granulated contributes 12 grams of carbohydrates and 11 to 20 grams are counted as one starch exchange.
In SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener Packets, sucralose is combined with maltodextrin and dextrose. These ingredients contribute 1 gram of carbohydrate and four calories per packet.
Hello,
before the availability of insulin patients with type 1 were treated with a no carbohydrate diet (ie their diet was mainly fat, and just a little protein). they were usually able to survive a few months on this diet.
If a person is really type 1 (ie. their pancreas doesn't produce any insulin) they need injectable insulin to survive and be healthy.
THere are cheaper insulins available (NPH N and R) which can still work well, if cost is an issue.
