    Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) 

    I suffered with this for 25 years, one of the most unpleasant feelings having the camera rammed down your throat when they take a biopsy. 2 weeks of low carb/keto and it stopped and hasn’t returned and this was 15 months ago and not taken a lansoprazole since, it probably stopped sooner as I...

    Just Diagnosed and Devastated

    Getting out of the mind set that you can't eat normal food anymore is hard at first, as time goes on you realise how wrong you are about thinking that way, I can't think of any other way of eating like I do now, lunch today is 4 rashes of bacon and 3 fried eggs and this will be around 12 and...

    Pork scratchings UK

    could they be made in an air fryer? Be nice to be able to make them yourself to help with portion control and experiment with some different flavours, ideally cholula.

    Pork scratchings UK

    I buy these every 4-6 weeks, I split them into ziplock bags and a kilner jar and try to ration them out. Pretty good customer service, I got sent an awful batch which had at least 300g of seasoning and were rock hard possibly overcooked and they accepted a return with no questions asked.

    Glucose after burger & chips!

    No one can give you an answer as we all process carbs differently, I don't think many would even want to see what it would spike to, I know I certainly wouldn't.
