I have had every blood test imaginable done between my GP and Endo - there is no clear explanation for how **** I feel! The Rheumatologist is last hope for me to get some answers....

Hi @smurphyuk - I wondered the outcome of seeing the Rheumatologist? I am T1D (LADA), have psoriasis and Hashimoto's. I am currently experiencing the EXACT same symptoms as you have described. My GP reckons I have psoriatic arthritis :( I see a Rheumatologist in 2 weeks but the pain and aches...

Hahahahaaha - I am well travellled!!! You can't even take fruit from state to state! And I have seen Border Security! lol

Thanks Dave!! I am very well aware of the Aus border rules - I have been coming to Scotland every year for the past 10 years :) I know what to eat and yes there are actually more choices of low carb and healthy alternatives in Aus. I run healthy cooking classes for kids in Melbourne and all my...

Hello! I am visiting Scotland from Australia and would love to buy some exciting products to take home with me that we don't get in Aus. I am Type 1 and have been overindulging in carbs since arriving in Scotland (because we have such amazing carb loaded food!!) but want to get on track with a...

I buy online from iHerb - not sure if it's Australian though....

What time are you talking about? Try some protein like ham or cheese or a greek yogurt even....

I am only a week diagnosed so still working out what the hell I'm doing! lol I would basically say I am LCHF and I have just eliminated all carbs in the morning and only have 1 slice of bread at lunch because I have cut everything else (pasta, potato, some veg, most fruits and all sugar products).

NO! I can't lose weight!! I'm only 42kgs and 5 foot 2! lol lol

Thanks @ziggy_w! Yes, I am very lucky here in Australia as we have an abundance of amazing Japanese restaurants and selection of fish at the markets for sashimi - which was already my fav cuisine so no probs there! Infact, I think I consumed more sashimi than sushi anyway :) Also love miso soup...

Whats your thoughts on the Sugar Free Chocolate Bars and the High Protein/Low Carb Bars? I have a few of them and loved them - low carbs is like 1.1g! I think these "should" be better than the normal ones right??

Here are some of the things I have been snacking on - Cheese! Any kind because I love it! ;) Tomatoes, Avocados, Carrots, Edamane Soup Eggs Sugar Free Cookies, Sugar Free Chocolate or High Protein Low Carb Bars i.e. Atkins Bars Dips on Low GI bread Tuna Coffee or Tea Cold meats - turkey, ham...

Oh nice! I love gherkins! :) Thanks for the idea!
