Avatar m tn He is unclear exactly what kind of a diet he should be on while taking the medication. Is he supposed to take 20 mg. of fat with all 3 medications or just with certain ones. And what type of breakfast do you recommend. He is under the impression that he needs to eat a full meal with every dose. Can someone enlighten us? Thanks so much.
1889242 tn?1321354938 Do any of you follow the dietary guidelines of Swank or George Jelinek? I'm newly diagnosed and began a diet eliminating meat (with the exception of seafood), dairy, and oil as well as limiting my fat intake to 20 grams/day. I've been doing this for 3 weeks now and it hasn't been nearly as difficult as I expected. My neurologist wasn't convinced of the benefit of the diet but said to "do it if I wanted". I am also using DMD so I am not relying on diet alone.
1008841 tn?1293598960 How do I find out what kind of diet I should be on, with my varices and Hep C and cirrhosis? also what herbs are safe to take or cook with?
Avatar n tn G2 has sucralose in it, and I immediately cut it out of my diet. Symptoms started tapering off after about 24 hours, and went away completely after a week. I'd recommend that if you are drinking/eating anything with sucralose and/or aspartame in it, that you do some research on the side effects of both of these products. You may also want to consult a dietician.
Avatar n tn The best diet is one that incorporates lots of fresh/frozen veggies, lean protein such as meat, eggs, dairy and legumes, healthy fats such as avocados, olive and coconut oils, nuts and seeds, along with a serving or two of fruit/day. Most vegetables have so few calories that you can eat as much as you want of them, without worrying about eating too much. Keep your meat servings to about the size of a deck of cards. Add olive or coconut oil for seasoning or to cook with.
Avatar f tn None of the pills work. Some are even so dangerous, they can kill. There is no way to loose weight fast. The faster you loose weight, the faster and the more will be back on your hips. The only way to loose weight effectively is to do it slow, and to make changes to your diet for life. There are several approaches to do this, my favourite is: think of how much you are willing to change. Make your own short term goals, which are achievable, like 3 kgs lost by the first monday next month.
Avatar n tn High protein diets are a current fad, and some of them might one day prove out -- we just have to see what happens when we have a lot of years of people eating this way and see what happens to them. The main diet since the invention of agriculture, which made modern economies and the corresponding advances that ultimately came with clean water and abundant food that increased our lifespans, is grains, legumes, and fruits and veggies.
1382889 tn?1505071193 My son is on gluten free, dairy free diet along with numerous supplements from his doc, and no longer has the extreme behavioral problems he had with his autism. The diet worked better than powerful medications, of which he no longer takes any! More docs are starting to recommend trying gluten free for 4 weeks if you have certain ongoing medical issues and see if you feel better. Search "gluten sensitivity" and you'll find all the conditions they're linking it with.
1085545 tn?1284042254 I am also a vegetarian and found I had to make some drastic changes in my diet, but I am now able to eat a variety of foods and enjoy cooking again. What you need to reduce is your intake of carbs. If you are used to eating a large amount of rice (for me the problem was pasta) you will have to change that.
880023 tn?1241744504 just wondering if any of you guys stick to a certain pregnancy diet or something like that! I am not fallowing any kind of diet, just trying to eat lots of vegetables and fruits, drink lots of water and juices etc...
Avatar n tn The mere acts of opening the mouth, stroking the face, brushing the teeth may irritate the trigeminal nerve and cause pain. Aggravation of pain after eating may be due to irritation of nerve due to mouth opening and it may be worsened by some particular foods. Food triggers are different for different persons. Some people find cold foods worsening the pain whereas some find spicy foods intolerable. Foods that contain a lot of fat may also trigger the pain. For you it seems to be the same.
Avatar n tn And if you want to see what people eat who actually live the longest and healthiest, scientists have been actively studying clusters of them. None of them eat a high protein diet -- they are all in the grains and beans and veggies and fruits categories. Food for thought.
Avatar f tn If he is on triple tx, with Incivek for the first 12 weeks, he will actually be forced to eat a very high fat diet during that stage (20 mg of fat within 30 minutes prior to pill), as that medication is carried and absorbed via fat. Other than that one drug there are no real dietary restrictions except eating enough and including some fats for better absorption of the ribavirin. Most people lose their appetite and lose some weight while on interferon and ribavirin.

Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy and chf 2 months ago. I am wondering what kind of diet I should be on. My cardiologist didn't really say anything about what I should be eating.
72351 tn?1281992542 We cannot offer medical advice, and frankly, we are folks whose experience is with insulin treatment of type 1 diabetes instead of type 2 diabetes (which is your condition since you are not taking insulin). However, the common sense answer is that if you only take one tablet per day, you certainly want it doing most of its work while you are awake and eating fairly often than at night while you are not.
Avatar n tn what foods would be good to relieve the symptoms of this illness?
Avatar n tn You should give your rabbit unlimited amount of hay and water as this forms the basis of a healthy diet. Nibbling hay for hours every day reduces boredom and behavioural problems with most rabbits. Chewing strands of hay exercises the teeth - the grinding movement is essential for dental health and helps maintain healthy gut movement. This is why we feel hay is vital for any rabbit, even if you choose a good rabbit food which is labelled as nutritionally complete.
526889 tn?1212540641 Do not be discouraged, weight loss can be a slow process but the slower you loss, the higher chance it will stay off. Think of this new way of eating as your new healthy lifestyle and not as a diet.
332074 tn?1229560525 I have worked out for three years straight. 5 nights a week. 1 hour of cardio and 1 hour weights. Yet I have not lost any weight. I have been dianosised with high blood preasure, thyroid problems, insulin resisstance and just did get diagnosised with sleep apnea. My problem is, I have sooo many food allergies that alot of the foods that are good for a diet, I can't eat. Is there anyway I can achieve weightloss with the foods that I can eat?
Avatar m tn Typically, a diet with lots of protein, veggies, healthy fats, low fat dairy, etc will be sufficient to help you lose weight as long as you keep portions in check.
Avatar f tn Believe it or not by changing your diet (substituting sugar with artificial sweetners and cutting back carbs alone) and walking will show a difference in your numbers. Some are lucky enough after doing this to actually stop or cut back on some of the medications like insulin. I would talk to your doctor about a diet plan.
