I find coconut often causes me digestive issues, mostly a laxative effect. I can only have very small amounts. I do have my gall bladder. Maybe it isn't related to your missing gall bladder?

I haven't had a gall bladder for many years. I hadn't realised at the time that fatty/oily things could be a problem and it was a few years later that a doctor told me that I should be avoiding fats. I had been having digestive problems (not yet diagnosed with diabetes) so figured that I should cut down on fats. It didn't make any difference, so I forgot about that change. Now I eat very few carbs but don't try to avoid fats. My stomach is not completely OK (far from it actually due to "erosions" in the lining of my stomach) but better than it used to be. I put that down to the reduced carbs and ignore the fats. Most nuts cause some stomach issues but I don't think it can be the fat content because other fats don't seem to cause harm. One thing that does cause problems is Metformin. I don't take as much as I should. I should take 1500 mg a day but only take 500 and even so, sometimes it causes a problem - laxative effect.

That's just me. Others may have a completely different experience.

Had a bowl of the cabbage thingy this morning before my cleaner arrived but while she was here I started feeling very nauseous. Nothing there that should have caused that except the Metformin that I took after eating. Spironolactone didn't help either - I could still taste the mint flavour a couple of hours later. I've found mint a very difficult flavour since, as a teenager, I thoroughly sickened myself with Clarnico peppermint creams; that was in 1959 and I haven't been able to eat anything minty ever since.

Might have some more of the cabbage later, if I feel up to it. It was very tasty and I did enjoy eating it.

Grilled coral trout fillets, green veggies, half a non carb spud, small portion lemon / lime sorbet for lunch.

[RosemaryJackson]

Hello everyone. A few questions! @Riva_Roxaban - what is Osmolax, is it something for regularity? (Just curious). @MrsA2, am going to do the fridge gravel. Could some Coconut or Almond flour be added to make fritters? @shelley262, How do you make high protein yoghurt? Would appreciate the recipe and method. I have already started to make Sauerkraut. I'm looking into Kimchi as well. Don't like the sound of fermented cheese! Am not feeling well atm so am just going to eat low carb if and when. I'm not really hungry.

Funny tummy again this morning so I had a slice of (white) toast to try to settle it down. It's OK and I will eventually have some of the cabbage I made yesterday as my one proper meal today.
