Avoid all sweet fruits and all starchy vegetables. Even a medium sized apple has about 20g of carbs. Small amounts of berries are often considered to be low carb.
Green leafy vegetables and low carb vegetables are fine. This will include lettuce, cabbage, spinach, asian and western greens, celery, cucumber, tomato, capsicum, green beans, okra, egg plant, and others.
Hope this helps.
Elevation is about all you can do, also get a cold damp rag/towel and place it over your feet while they are elevated.

Steer clear of the candy ."You could eat four small chocolates for 100 calories," says Geise, "or you could eat a cup of yogurt." The chocolate gives you hardly any protein; the yogurt delivers 8 grams.

3 months ago i was drinking in a party. as soon as i had 1 peg, I had short breath, heart beat was too high that i can feel it like anything, mouth and eyes turned red like tomato, after 2 minutes my right arm started paining and it continued for approx 15 minutes. then after 2 weeks i again had one peg just to see my body's response i again had a peg and the response was same. after that i stopped drinking.
by the way I had a glass of Tomato juice previous day before the test....there might be quite a lot of sugar....in the juice..!

For more than a year, I have often been getting a large quantity of bright red blood in my (bloody wet) stools. I was wondering if it is due to my lactose intolerant nature or my consumption of multivitamin pills (with iron). I would like to receive some suggestions from the MedHelp community, as I would like to try some of the suggestions before going to a physician.
Thank you!
I'm slim person. In order to gain weight, I'm focusing to various type of diet. In my food, I've used maximum amount of tomato because it's taste make my meal special and I love it. However, I've heard that tomato is mainly used to lose weight. So, I'm worried regarding the usage of tomato. Really it doesn't let to gain weight ? Is it beneficial to avoid tomato for gaining weight ?
I do not have a large intestine, had surgery 13 years ago. at the place small colon is connected i had a CT scan which says i have a stricture and scarring. I am having terrible bloating and cannot eat any large meal, also can't do fiber, gluten or carbs. Any suggestions. I take amitiza twice a day and drink miralax every night with prune juice. this has ruined my life. it has just gotten worse over the last 6 months.
Nature developed these toxins to kill insects that try to eat the plant. If sheep are fed large quantietes of potato skins, for example, the offspring sometimes develop a birth defect involving a single eye.
That being said, modern agricultural methods have developed plants which have much lower doses of toxin. The tomato of 1750, for example, contained more toxins in the skin than the tomato of 2010. That was why in traditional recipes the tomatos were skinned (peeled) before using in sauce.
Although I will say that this pregnancy I have had an adversion to veggies (which used to be my main staple since I typically eat little meat of any). I try to have at least a smoothie everyday with a large serving of kale and whatever fruits I have on hand. The remained of the time I eat all organic and whole foods- limited processed foods such as; brown rice, brown rice pasta, whole grain pancakes, bean burritos, tomato sandwich on whole grain bread... etc.
t want carbs in the evening typically, unless you worked out late and need them. Soup is typically high in sodium and to go to bed with high sodium is a no go also. Soup in general (even during the day usually has a lot of hidden sodium). If I have late night cravings I usually go for a veggie. (Cucumber, carrots, etc) something with crunch can trick your brain. Also trt drinking water. Sometimes it can be that you're bored. Also hot tea is one of my go to things at night.
I find rice cakes are a quick choice too. If you buy the brown rice or wholegrain rice ones, they are a lot less dense then bread but will give you some carbohydrates for energy and they are very light. If you chop up some lettuce or tomato before you go and prepare it, they'll be really quick to eat :)
Some wholegrain bars are ok too... but you have to be careful and read the labels because some of them aren't that healthy.
Whole grain cereal
Fruit and yogurt
Whole grain toast with peanut butter, fruit
Hard boiled egg
As long as you stay with complex carbs, which are those in whole grains, veggies, fruits, such as apples pears, etc.you should be okay. The complex carbs are the ones that provide fiber to keep you feeling fuller longer.
Also be sure to get plenty of protein with every meal. Eggs and whole grains are excellent sources of protein, as is dairy.
