Avatar n tn Hi, You should really discus this with the doctor treating your sarcoidosis. My understading of the disease is that is it an auto-immune disease with an overactive immune system. Therefore, you would most likely on the prednesone to suppress your immuse system. I could be wrong. If this is the case, I doubt you have options, but your doctor would know your situation best. Take care.
Avatar m tn Five years ago, I was given a Glucose meter and checked my levels. They were perfect. Fasting was around 80. After a meal, maybe 120. So no worries. Then a couple of years ago, I got out the meter and ordered some strips. Tested Glucose and fasting ranged from 88 to 100. I ate a big old bowl of chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce after dinner one night and after one hour, checked glucose and it was at 155! Went to Doctor and he checked my A1C and it was 4.9. He said that was fine.
Avatar f tn She is taking way to many in a 24 hour period and I am very concerned for her health. Is there something I can substitute the Goody Powder with that will not be harmful to her? I have talked to her over and over about how these powders are not good for her. This is my last resort.

757137 tn?1347196453 I have looked all over the internet to find out what danger the powder itself might represent. And found not a whisper. So what happens to it? Does it forever lie in your lungs? Is it an irritant? My thanks for any information.
Avatar m tn Five days ago, I tried to swallow about a half table spoon of cinnamon powder. I spat it out, then a cloud of cinnamon powder appeared in front of me and I coughed. I ended up rinsing my mouth with water. Later that same night my left lung felt like it was burning.The next morning my chest was congested. Now, I have a slight chest pain, I feel a need to cough but nothing is coming out. I also feel a kind of itchy tickle in the left side of my chest.I got evaluated by a physician.

Avatar f tn I did the one-hour glucose test earlier this week, am 28 weeks pregnant now, and I vomited all the stuff. I tried a different flavour and vomited that too. They went ahead and drew my blood anyway, but the result was 141. So they want me to try to drink it again tomorrow to see if I can get a more accurate reading. Has anyone tried an alternative?
Avatar n tn The key is adding calories, not just protein. If you substitute protein shakes for other foods that you normally eat that have actually MORE calories, then you lose weight. Your body does need some fats, too, and the healthy fats are the ones to go for. They can add calories quickly. Olive oil is great, and can be added in small amounts to most any food. Adding snacks throughout the day may be another thing that could help you. It is not clear if you are a type 1 diabetic or not...

172023 tn?1334672284 Multigrain Eng muffin with 1/2 cup scrambled egg beaters (made into a sandwich) 5. Smoothie: mix 1 cup skim milk with 1 banana and 1/3 cup fat free vanilla yogurt. Add a packet of splenda if you must. I often add a scoop of protein powder to this.
Avatar f tn And since u have the nasty powder lying around maybe u should substitute half of a serving with your smoothies that way they won't go to waste and your good tasting powders will last longer. I hate wasting anything esp food, hope it helps.
Avatar f tn Mix 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate, not baking powder) in an 8 ounce glass and drink it. If sufficient quantities of acid are present in the stomach, bicarbonate of soda is converted into gas, producing significant bloating and belching within 5 or 10 minutes of drinking the mix. Little or no belching is suspicious for low stomach acid. Digestive enzyme supplements are good for high or low acid production (low acid is by far more common).

Avatar f tn I am trying to think outside the box here. Does anyone know what I could substitute the goody powder substance in the little packs for something that would not harm her but she will still think she is taking goody powders? I know this is extreme, but this situation is extreme. Look forward to any suggestions.

Avatar f tn They are definitively not the same as plain water and can add a lot of calories and big glucose spike which is probably not good if you are borderline diabetic. On the other hand I don't see any conflicting information about water. You can stay well hydrated by sticking to plain water. Good luck!
1512574 tn?1342608485 I like to place spices on my chicken for flavor such as Fox Point which is a onion powder, scallion mixture and some BBQ spice powder. I order my spices from Penzy's because they have the best spices anywhere. (* see note) Bok Choy is cabbage. It is an oriental cabbage that I really like rather than the big heads. I also steam cook this cabbage in kitchen basic chicken broth and a little spray of Braggs Amino Acid.
