Wow, and now a new drug?

I just wanted to add my little story to this thread, which helped me for having read some of it before a visit to the doctor when my cholesterol results came back as a total of 8mmol and my new young doctor at the time got a panicked look on her face and began telling me that I should begin...

I already haven't been able to sustain keto for the last 2 years that I have been eating the "keto" diet. Even though I managed to lost 10kg, I know I'm not in ketosis most of the time because there has been the odd time when I know I definitely WAS in ketosis and it feels different, doesn't...

Are there any peri/post/menopausal diabetic women who have tried this tweak on Keto and managed to keep their blood sugar under control? " What Do Menopausal Women Need To Do Different With the Ketogenic Diet" Dr Mindy Pelz Trying to support the hormones without sending the blood sugar back...

I think it was more cyanosis in my father's thumbs, and in one of the lady's hands, but her other hand did look a bit like it had tiny clumps of blue under the skin. But is cyanosis more a lack of oxygen for some reason?

I'm not sure if I am allowed to ask about Covid on this forum - I noticed FB groups tend to delete and censor everything to do with it so it's hard to reach out to ask questions but I'm wondering if anyone has seen this listed as a side effect to the AZ vaccine in the elderly after it happened a...

I wouldn't have had any comment for you except a couple of weeks ago, after a couple of years on low carb, I had a new experience after an extra low carb high fat day of roast duck that lead to pain under my right rib a few hours later. Not severe, but enough to make me pay attention and start...

I'm sorry your diagnosis took so long... that's shocking that no one thought of gallbladder issues sooner. I guess that's the advantage of the internet and forums like this one. After googling, I had myself diagnosed within hours of the mild discomfort (felt like a stitch you get from running...

I'm not against trying things at home to remedy the situation - I've been drinking blitzed apple and lemon including the peel just in case it does work to dissolve things somehow - but I guess people just need to know that there might be a small risk of having a serious blockage (gallbladder...

G I'm sorry you had severe attacks... Good to know low carb can be done without a gallbladder though and that fibre helps!

I just found this re: those green stones from a olive oil flush: https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140673605663738/fulltext To quote: " Microscopic examination of our patient's stones revealed that they lacked any crystalline structure, melted to an oily green liquid after...

Has anyone had an ultrasound done confirming either stones or inflammation of the gallbladder and then continued eating fats on a low carb / keto diet and had a follow up ultrasound to show whether anything changed in their gallbladder? I've been mostly low carb for a couple of years and a...

Oh good, so fat all the way then. Maybe some citrus peel to dissolve the gallstones a little and keep up with a certain amount of fat and cross fingers no big stones come out and block things up. I have heard about the Pioppi diet and Aseem Malhotra, but thanks for the tip! If I lived near...

Gosh, it gets scary when your organs start to talk, doesn't it? Especially the heart. When you get heart distress, is it painful or more palpitations? I'm pretty sure I know what kidney aches feel like too and I've had the one recently but mostly after the pain meds for my last c-section. Are...

Did your gallbladder issues resolve? Did you stick with low carb / high fat? Is the trick to continue eating fats but just not a really big fatty meals? After 2 years low carb, I went lower carb higher fat and over-indulged on the fats when we had a tasty roasted duck, among other fatty...

Did you get an answer to this? I've been low carb for a couple of years after having gestational diabetes but recently upped the ante and went higher fat /lower carb than I had been, and suddenly I was having this dull ache under my right rib and realised something was going on. Bit of...

I have a question about Magnesium supplements. I noticed that the couple of different brands I've been taking (in Australia) both contain soy beans. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if that is because using soy beans is the only way to make Magnesium supplements, or are there other...

Can I ask what your OGGT results were while you were in ketosis? I am in a similar position where the last one I did, I don't think I'd eaten quite enough carbs in the lead up, although I wouldn't have been in ketosis anymore for sure, but just hadn't eaten the recommended amount of carbs. My...

Bernstein, that should say..

Has anyone experienced low blood sugars after the Covid vaccine like this doctor did?
