[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2728560, member: 493719"] Well done on what sounds like a very fraught, long & lonely journey. Bravo. I like your advice above . When I first got DX'd and I read up on type two, I would over explain things when pushed to eat 'something ' by others. Now, I just explain my body doesn't handle food 'X' very well, because I'm allergic to it. Simpler, and most seem to back off . Fully agree, the simpler approach above would make better sense early on over the advice I see far too often dished out by health care professionals as described by desperate posters, seeking help & information to manage a recent diagnosis of type 2. And as with your posts & many others I have read, to inform myself of other conditions & those sufferers seeking help after being seemingly left floundering by surgeries etc, it's an all too common problem. Disbelieved or given outdated dogma that just doesn't do enough to help the patients involved. Forums like this are just such a godsend. Offering support & practical help day one Like miners of old, sieve through enough posts and you're pretty sure to strike gold in amongst the wisdom that others post, regarding what worked for them or how they cope with xyz , I know I did. In a perfect world, I would have liked the advice given to me at dx TO have included pointing me to THIS forum. I gained more knowledge & ideas about MY illness than any input from anybody else at DX or since . And mine seems pretty common condition, sadly. God knows how those like yourself even begin to cope with something so poorly understood, by those who perhaps should be able to offer better assistance than you seemed to get . Sounds like anyone suffering from RH would be better served by being pointed to this forum at DX, as well. Take care. [/QUOTE]
