I have had a breakfast of Lidl Pork belly. I had some yesterday and did feel quite sick when I got to work, but there's been a bug going around and I thought I had got it. I felt much better this morning and had the final two slices, cooked with some butter in the oven. I ate that, no...

Hello all Some 7 years ago, I developed issues with an upset stomach after eating. I would eat at abut 1.00 and then, no matter what I ate, at 1.30 I would have to rush to the toilet. I thought it was due to what I was eating so I tried every diet possible and sometimes that seemed to work...

Yeah, I can relate to all of this! I do think it's terrible that people have been led to believe that they can eat what they like and inject themselves and everything will be all right. Clearly it isn't. I understand Jeremy Clarkson has been on this and to be honest, he looks as rotund as...

I didn’t lose weight when I was on Jardiance before. Or if I did, it was fairly negligible. So there would seem to be a direct correlation between my taking Trulicity and weight loss and I don’t understand that (unless you mean it’s a combination of Jardiance AND the Trulicity – which it may...

I was strictly keto before COVID and my sugars were under control and I was losing a little bit of weight. I know I went off plan really badly but I am trying to get back to that. With the Trulicity though, I am losing a LOT of weight – almost every day. So that would indicate that it is the...

It's more that I am being told that the weight gain is inevitable. That no matter what I do, if I stop Trulicity, I will gain the weight. I'm not counting fat people who inject themselves so they can lose a few pounds and still eat what they like, These are diabetics, well informed about...

Thanks for that. The article concerns me slightly in that firstly, Trulicity may be taking my poor, battered pancreas and forcing it to produce more insulin which I am resistant to and secondly, this little snippet : "In response to a high protein meal, glucagon levels in the blood rise. In...

I am in the UK, Boots managed to procure some. It's hit and miss as half the time they say, "We don't have it, we don't know when we will have it" and then I go to pick up some other item and it'll be there for me. I think it's a bit of a Lottery and what annoys me is the doctor will say "Oh...

Hello all I am confused. I have been put on trulicity and yes, I have lost a lot of weight. I am on the smallest dose and it has been amazing. The problem is, I don't know how it is working. As I understand it, the drug is supposed to stop me from being hungry so I eat less. It doesn't. I...

I didn't get the sample done because I stopped eating this high fiber porridge I was eating and the symptoms stopped straight away. I am never going to eat that porridge again, and will trust to the low carb diet instead. I do have the option of submitting a new sample now if I have another...

Hello all, I have managed to get an appointment with the doctor. She has said she thinks I have had a bout of Gastroenteritis which has then caused lactose intolerance. She has asked me to go onto a non dairy bland diet which is white bread, white rice and potatoes. I pointed out that I am a...

Thanks for the replies. It's been ongoing since middle of July. I went on holiday and ate off track for a week, so naturally I assumed it was that. I took some Imodium which stopped me up for four days and then it's just been on and off since. I've had one extreme bout which I 'cured' by...

Hello all, I have been low carbing for a number of years, and suddenly I have been struck down with cramping, diarrhea, wind, upper stomach pains, nausea, and a lack of appetite. I also have a constant pain in my lower back (left hand side) which may or may not be related. I have looked on...

Many thanks to you all, currently in fasting state. I ate at 12.00 noon and will eat again at breakfast. I have bought coconut milk and cream, so might try that in the coffee. I did try low carb chia seed porridge and it made me feel very sick. I understand it has this reaction with some...

Ah! That’s very helpful. I think that cream is causing me a problem, but I have trouble stomaching coconut oil, and I loathe avocadoes. I can’t even hide them in stuff, they are like bananas and I feel nauseous afterwards. I may have to stop drinking BPC then and once again, I may have to...
