Thanks.

It has been really hard but I'm feeling better and better. I don't crave carbs now but do have that HiLo bread at breakfast as I cannot stomach anything else.

And AND my colitis is in remission I do believe! So double bonus. Yay to me.

I miss chocolate though.. boost, wispa, crunchie, rolos, twix, bounty, snickers,

OH THE CHOCOLATE!!

Pre-diagnosis I used to eat a lot of chocolate, (mainly Cadbury's), flake, fruit & nut, cadbury's cream, kitkat, and I could eat a 500 gm bar of Cadbury's Dairy Milk in an evening.
I've lost the taste for it now, but I do like a bit of high cocoa content dark chocolate which is a lot less sugar and carbs.

I just cannot stand dark chocolate. I suppose I could mix a little with some cream and xylitol.

RitterSport 72% Dark chocolate is my go to snack...now I find regular milk chocolate way too sweet.

I just cant stand the thought of it. It is actually like morning sickness to me. Which is awful. I dont know why. But just thinking about the stuff is too much.

If I get anything like that when I get my next result I’ll be over the bl00dy moon

Well done you!

What have you changed since diagnosis?

First off I switched to eating lower carb but still carbs (halving the amounts.)
I think I'm fortunate that I can tolerate them slightly better than most but only a bit.
Then after advice here cut out all normal bread, pasta, rice. The usual stuff.

I have strawberries and raspberries, cream, small amount of reduced sugar custard.
Hilo bread with half teaspoon of no added sugar jam in the morning as I cannot stomach eggs or meat at that time.

I don't eat lunch as such. Sometimes fridge raiders, olives, little bit of cheese. Occasional slices of corned beef.

Dinner, anything carb free (besides some veg.) curries, stews etc. Meat (no pork.)

Sugar free jellies, I keep a box of celebrations in the cupboard and have one occasionally as I detest dark choc and that keeps me missing chocolate. Just every so often though not every week.

I did 91 to 47 at the first test, and saw 41 at 6 months - so you could be doomed to be normal....

Thats impressive! Well done to you!

Here's hoping I will be 'normal' soon. I am working hard at this like we all are but I have caught a nasty little cold so my readings are up for the last couple of days.
