Paul_37 Interested to hear how you get on. My doctor has today written me a prescription for it, have to pick it up yet. Reading around would put you off taking it, so I'm not going to read any more and give it a try myself.

Nothing here at all. Clinics were cancelled at the first lockdown last year and no word of diabetic clinic starting up again. I was told to make sure I get my eyes tested as they depend on the optician to do the screening now as there is none from the hospital via GP. I haven't the energy to...

Hi isomertwin, It's ironic isn't it we get our freedom and then it seems like it's taken away again. I'm a type 2 with mental health issues, arthritis of the spine (top, middle and bottom!!), sciatica, among other things, find it difficult to walk far (and we live on a hill!!!), and I was in...

Thanks Ian. Apparently cauliflower and avocado are high in fibre. Fish I will add to my list. It's normally 3 days for the diet, but as I have problems "clearing out" I have been asked to do 5 days. My last one of 3 days didn't work. So I really want to give this my best shot of working...

I had one colonoscopy pre diagnosis. I hesitate to ring the department, you know what the NHS is like toward low carb - figure I'd get better help here for suggestions. Thanks everyone for your help.

It's all to do with the fibre. Looks like my diet will be eggs, cheese and yogurt. I can have cream soups, not vegetable broth or soup.

That's what I'm thinking I will do. It's just as well I like eggs!!

I've got a colonoscopy coming up and have to do a 5 day special diet. Breakfast and lunch are ok. My problem is dinner, I'm allowed potatoes, but being low carb I don't have these. No vegetables are allowed - what do I eat for dinner - I can't eat just meat!! I'm not a big meat eater to...

Thank you all for your helpful suggestions. Yesterday I made gammon in orange fanta zero, very successful. I never knew how hard it would be putting dinner on and walking away!! It's very tempting to keep having a peek, especially when you have no idea how it is doing. Today we had lamb...

Must try this one. Sounds yummy. :hungry:

Ohhh - that silverside looks good, as does the chicken. I'm just googling now how to cook it!! You want to see the pages I have opened on my pc. Better start printing some off.

Hope it turns me into a better cook!! Mornings are better for me, by mid afternoon I'm flagging, so hoping by preparing meals and leaving to cook it'll help a lot.

Thank you so much. Got to nip out, then I'll get on to these. Shopping day tomorrow so need the ideas. As I said above doing a google search just took me round in circles. I look forward to this new way of cooking, a new interest!!

It just totally confused me. I suffer with depression and trying to get through all options lost me. I appreciate the help.

I've just bought a slow cooker. Could someone please point me in the right direction for low-carb recipes? The search button hasn't been much use. :banghead:

I had the same problem - couldn't eat soup without bread. I make my own soup and put it in a mug to drink. Find I don't want bread any more by drinking it.

Thanks for the tip. I was looking for a recipe for the lamb mince I have in the freezer.

When a type 1 smugly tells me type 2 don't need to test! grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Thanks, DCUKMod. Ohhhhhh I knew I shouldn't click on those recipes!!! Found a low carb cranberry sauce in one and a low carb sugar free Christmas Yule log in the other. Might just have to have a go at the Yule log soon though, would be a shame to wait until Christmas. :)

Good advice already offered so I'll just answer on the gallstones. I had my gallbladder removed less than 3 months after giving birth when I had just turned 22. I rolled the floor in pain many a night. They are very painful and can cause pain all over (pain can go up to the shoulder too) -...
