Hello, I would like to state my opinion on this please. Please note that it is merely my opinion about my condition and as such, should not be considered medical advice. I treat my diabetes as a condition. I go as far as to say, I have an intolerance to certain carbohydrates and amounts of...

Also and slightly off topic, I like to stir an egg yolk into my chicken soup, to make it creamy. This week, and I kid you not, I have had no less than 4, yes, 4 double yolked eggs!! Apparently there is a one in a thousand chance of getting just one. I have had four on the trot now! Must be a...

Thank you everyone for your replies. There have been no "alarming colours" yet and I think it's clearing. My very kind doctor has offered to listen to my chest just in case and with the weekend looming it will put my mind at rest. My partner got me some Robitussin last night, but as...

Thanks, I do normally recover ok, just get a bit paranoid that the coughing stage turns to chest infection. I didn't know about Karvol, but since you mentioned it, I found a plug in thing on Amazon, so I might try that. Am having plenty of chicken soup too.

Hi @AndBreathe , thanks for your reply - Sorry, I should say, chest congestion, its not really an infection as such. Just hoping for some natural remedies for congestion, cough and sore dry throat really - in the past i would have had hot lemon and manuka/honey. Obviously that's not really...

Hi there, I have had a cold and it has developed into a chest infection. Can anyone suggest a safe, reasonably low carb natural remedy to help relieve it please? At present I am drinking ginger tea with lemon. Thank you!

Also, as an aside, a few months back, I experimented with papaya whole fruit and some of its seeds to aid digestion. I have since stopped it for other reasons. However, it helped a bit with digestion and most interestingly, the papaya didn't effect my blood sugar too much. As well as the quest...

This is all good stuff, such a useful thread, which I am finding very useful at the moment :)

Wonderful, thanks for this @Winnie53

Thanks for the update @Winnie53 . I am in the UK. Currently I take Quest Enzyme Digest, from H&B - are you taking the Wholezyme ones? What interesting results you've had from taking yours.....

Hello, I haven't posted on here for ages due to health issues (gastro/digestive and anxiety related), but I am searching for info on digestive enzymes in the hope they may help. I just came across this thread, albeit from few days ago but I wondered if anyone could suggest a good digestive...

What a relief, thank you for this! Aah yes, and the old stress chestnut thrown in for good measure, that's another concept that left me blaming myself for a long time. Feeling a bit better about my beliefs now, thanks:). Onwards & upwards....

Exactly!

Hi everyone! Been away from the forum for a long time so please bear with me. I hope that everyone here is currently in good health and happy :) Now, I manage my diabetes with a low carb eating regime. I do this very successfully and I love what I eat. I'm fitter, slimmer and more content...

Yes @hankjam, the fish is very good from this one, but I leave the batter (never liked it anyway). I miss the chips, my blood sugar does not, however!

B: Glass of goat's milk. Green tea and lemon. Creamy decaf coffee. Then realised I hadn't eaten anything solid so had a boiled egg with soldiers made from half a slice of toast. L: Avocado, cucumber, olives, feta and mackerel drizzled with olive oil. Square of 90% dark chocolate T: Steamed...

Does a floater coffee still work without the sugar? Has anyone ever asked for it this way in a bar/restaurant before? I'm guessing they would substitute it with sweetener but I have no idea if the cream still floats or not!

I might have to do that next time!

They're great aren't they? When I first got mine, they were still warm on the shelf - Mmmm warm bread and butter! Alas, I went last week and they had all sold out!!

Thought I would share what I ate on Friday: B: 2 boiled eggs and slice of Lidl HP roll, toasted L: NIbbly things - olives, feta, ham etc D: Meal at an Indian restaurant: A few pieces of poppadom with a bit of (very red) onion relish and some of the rather questionable bright green "raita"...
