Thanks for your reply. What sauce do you use with the mayo? Your answer has made me wonder if greek yogurt could be used as a thickner instead of the flour - would be interested to know if you have tried that and what the results were. I did wonder if I increased the okra whether it would be...

http://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2013/feb/13/how-to-cook-perfect-gumbo (recipe method towards end of article) I'm particularly wondering what flour would be the best substitute for the wheat flour - or if something other than flour would have same effect. (ingredients list)...

vitamins A D E K are not water soluble and store up in the body. vitamin D is really quite toxic if you have too much - but most people in the UK have somewhat low levels of vit D or are even deficient - after a severe deficiency of vit D last year I know rather too much about it all. I think...

Yes. Yesterday I had a beefburger in a small bun. My BG peaked over 11mmol at 2 hours and took 5 hours to get down to 6.4 mmol...so I am thinking even very diluted golden syrup is unlikely to be something I can tolerate. :( hopes dashed :( Will have to wait until they invent a golden syrup...

:) I will give it a go. I spent quite a long time googling to find a recipe and there doesn't seem to be one. The suggestions above were pulled together from comments here and there in other posts I came across in my google search. I've not yet cooked a single recipe with sugar substitutes so it...

I am aware this is never going to be a low carb health dessert but what is the best lowest carb recipe anyone has ever found for this? I was thinking an almond or coconut flour base/crust and then some kind of erythricol/xylitol syrup mixture with just a couple of tablespoons of golden syrup...

Hi I've suffered from recurrent depression since my early 20s. It can be very difficult to get any help on the NHS nowadays unless you are in immediate danger of killing yourself, and even then many people get turned away and limited action taken until they are in hospital following an attempt...

This is the meter my area uses. They won't give one to me because I'm only on metformin. I'm going to go straight to buy my own rather than expend energy arguing with them. So, my questions are: 1. What are people's experiences with this meter? 2. Should I get this one (potential they will...

My GP is referring me to a gastroenterologist (I think that is what he said) to look at my liver. They say I have had raised liver enzymes for quite a while (never mentioned to me despite 6 monthly blood tests) and that it is likely fatty liver disease and there is a high risk I have...

It was nice to read your post. I feel that I am likely to have similar problems. I've only just been diagnosed but I've had problems with binging in the past. What has helped me a bit is having 'free' days. (Obviously it has not helped that much or I'd be a perfect weight by now but it has kept...

Thanks very much. :)
