    Metformin SR side effects?

    I took a low dose of Metformin for 5 years for T2 with constant stomach upsets. Since I also discovered that I was lactose intolerant, and intolerant to real vanilla and pineapple, it took a while to sort out the causes and real culprits. In March ‘20 I stopped my Metformin completely and now...

    @DJC3 Dennis looks so cute and embarrassed. Gorgeous little guy. We’ve really become attached to our foster lab - she’s very kind and calm, a lovely dog. And @DCUKMod I made the yoghurt in the yoghurt (pre IP) because I know that it always used to work in there, so it was more of a controlled...

    I’ve just read through the posts to catch up. We drove to Bonn to No 1 daughter to meet her sister (No 2 from Australia) who flew in for a couple of days to see us. She’s visiting youngest daughter for just 2 weeks as she has a new job and not much holiday. So lovely to see her even if it was...

    We’ve always had one. OH had one when we married, and we replaced it when it gave up the ghost a few years ago. It’s always used to slice fresh bread for the freezer. One thing that it’s very useful for is to finely slice a partly frozen pork fillet, then marinate the meat as part of a raclette...

    The IP is pretty magical but I’m not sure how it could make ice cream. ;)) There’s all variations of milk here, pasteurised, UHT, mountain pasture, bio. I’ll have to see if I can find a UHT organic lactose free milk (because I’m too lazy to heat it up and cool and ....) it seems unlikely...

    It’s difficult to find milk powder here. Normally I haven’t had problems, but my brother says that antibiotics given to barn cattle can go through to the milk- I think that’s what’s happened with my Aldi lactose free milk. That would kill some of the lovely starter and leave a thin yoghurt...

    Have you seen that docu? The magic pill? Very helpful. Though I shake at the thought of becoming such an out and out carnivore!!

    You could well be right. Our daughter was finally diagnosed when she was about 30. Up to then the ‘experts’ had told us that she was ‘brain damaged’ and would never be able to learn much. Stupid lot. She’s bi-lingual, learning German ‘by the way’ when she was about 18, has almost a photographic...

    Mine was okaaay - not wonderful. I like it really thick but that hasn’t been happening lately. I’m going to buy some bio milk, see how that works. Problem is it’s hardly available in lactose free. I made some choccy ice cream with it though. :)))

    I watched the Magic Pill docu last night. Very interesting, especially the effect the diet had on the little autistic girl. A friend’s autistic son had only a few things that he would eat, the main one being Weetabix, for all meals if he could. One time she was unwell, ran out of Weetabix and...

    The Netflix documentary sounds interesting- we don’t have exactly the same programme as uk, but it might be worth looking. What exactly is it called?

    I have a large quantity of yoghurt in the instant pot - should be ready in a couple of hours. Crossing everything that it is lovely thick yoghurt that I can make ice cream with. My complete weakness. I did buy some Halo once but it seemed very sweet and I scoffed it very quickly. ;-( Bad...
