[QUOTE="JoKalsbeek, post: 2629100, member: 401801"] At a glance, but mind you, I am NOT British and some things I just don’t know because we don’t serve them here. Okay for a diabetic who wants to low carb: Full fat milk or cream Water Tea (decaf?) Coffee (decaf?) Herbal tea Extra dark chocolate Pepper/salt/herbs and spices (careful with the spices, but that’s for the crohns, not the diabetes. I figure, if it upsets my IBS, it’ll do you no favours either) Coconut milk (potentially watered down. Could be made into hot chocolate if you put a teaspoon of straight cocao in) Lettuce Asparagus Aubergine Broccoli Cauliflower (which is good when it’s riced, with cheese and herbs!) Tomatoes (unskinned and deseeded for your gut) Strained veg juice (maybe watered down for carbs? I do 50% juice, 50% water, and heat it up with some salt added, so it’s more like a thin soup) Full fat milk Cream Sour cream Crème fraiche Soy milk (watered down for carbs) Full fat Greek yoghurt Hard cheeses Cottage cheese Ricotta cheese Beef Veal Lamb Mutton Pork Bacon Ham Chicken Turkey Fish without bones (Salmon, cod, haddock, tuna, plaice) Eggs Tofu Of course, eating less frequently is better for a T2, but your bowels take precedence here. Slow and steady wins the race. If you’re stuck for snacks or breakfast, just go for something you might not associate with breakfast, like full fat Greek yoghurt, or a semi-full English, with eggs, bacon, sausagemeat (not sure if the casing’ll be okay). Snacks could be babybel cheeses and the like. Maybe olives? Didn’t spot those come to think of it… Others'll have more to add, I'm sure. I'm beginning to wonder whether a carnivore diet'd be up your alley... But that'd just be meat, fish, poultry,, eggs and dairy, nothing else. It's practically zero carb and the bulk of it wouldn't do anything with the crohns... It's extremely restrictive though, so certainly not for everyone. I kept it up for a while until I discovered I make a certain, relatively rare kind of kidney stone on that diet. So that nixed that plan, half a year or so in. It'll get better than it is now, really. Hugs, Jo [/QUOTE]
