s been moments where I thought I got rid of the yeast but then years later it returned, possibly due to many things (too much coffee, carbs, stress, etc.). Ive recently had to drastically change my diet. I'm now eating a carnivore/keto like diet. The overgrowth of bacteria eats starch so I literally cannot eat any starch (no carbs, fruit and even certain vegetables).
Hey there! I don't think you need to limit yourself to a certain amount of carbs per day. I would recommend trying a high protein and high fiber diet. Also try meal planning. Having a plan will ensure that you aren't going overboard on carbs, and knowing how many carbs you'll have for each meal will help you plan your bolus more correctly.
Hi there. If you are taking a normal dose of prenatal vitamin and then just eating various things like a lot of oranges, you are fine honey. I had cravings when pregnant for grapefruit. I couldn't get enough and was eating a ton of it. I mentioned it to my doctor and the doctor said I was craving folate and the grapefruit was helping me get it. So, as long as you eat a health diet of a variety of things PLUS your oranges you are wanting to chow on, you should be just fine.
However, low calorie, high nutrient foods can keep you full and still on track with your goals. Healthy carbs like grapefruit, bananas, apples, whole grain pastas, and lots of veggies are always good. Healthy fats such as avocados, olives, low fat milks, low moisture cheeses are great. And lean proteins such as ground turkey, tilapia, salmon are also good. I hope this helps.
Trying to figure out How many carbs & sugars should you have? Can someone give me some insight?
No. Any grapefruit causes the liver to stop producing CYP 450 super-enzymes. These are necesssary to metabolize many drugs. Thus, at a minimum the drug will have no effect. Twenty-four hours later, the drug is still in the blood (unmetabolized) and you take a second dose. At this time the CYP superenzymes again begin to be produced sand you end up with too much of the drug metabolized. One issue is "how much grapefruit is necessary to affect the liver?" A single grapefruit is enough.
Grapefruit juice can interfere with how the body breaks down and eliminates medications. Many medications are broken down by the liver using an enzyme called cytochrome P450, which is inhibited by grapefruit juice. Consequently, grapefruit juice can increase the levels of many drugs in the body, including several cholesterol-lowering statins. However, grapefruit juice does not interfere with the metabolism of beta blockers.
I exercise all day everyday by running, walking, ab workouts, cardio, aerobics and dance. However every time I lose a lot of weight, I gain it back on through eating carbs and calories. So, I decided to work off more calories than I actually eat. However, this makes me weaker so I need some alternatives that have basically no calories but are still substantial. You may think I am stupid losing weight like this but I need to lose all this weight in a month. Thank you!
Carbs raise BG so restricting carbs will help BG.
when you say 6 units I assume you mean 6 exchanges which is 90 gr of carbs. If you take 250 mg at each meal that is 750 mg a day, the limit is 2400mg a day so you have room to go up on the Met.
It can take 6 to 8 weeks for met to become fully effective.
Grapefruit can decrease the amount of food or medication absorbed by the body. I believe that is why you are not meant to have grapefruit with a heap of different medications including most anti-depressants, though i am not a doctor but that is what i was told, so correct me if i am wrong. It depends on how the medication is digested and how it works within the body, i think that's why some medications and not others. If you want more information ask your doctor next time you see them.
You need carbs to live. Look up how carbs help you and how they don't. Make sure you are taking prenatals as well!
Julie, if you’re going to drink a lot of grapefruit juice and include it with other meds, be sure to discuss it with the doctor.
