[QUOTE="KidDougi, post: 2449089, member: 546972"] Cutting meats and dairy, significantly reduces your protein and fats. I know the beans can raise these up again. But reducing them will increase your carb intake, which we know can lead to diabetes!! My suggestion would be to research gut microbes. There are drinks on the market which can help but they should be supplemented with good quality fibre, as that’s what the microbes need to eat. These reduce gut inflammation which in turn reduced my intolerance of certain nuts and other foods. By doing the same you may be able to increase your dairy and meat products again. At very least that will make meal time a little more interesting. As for persuading your GP to alter or change your meds, it’s all about timing and approach. But you do need to research your options thoroughly. If the GP believe that the meds your are on are doing the job, they will keep you on them. Make your suggestion after a blood test and use the results as leverage. I don’t expect it to be easy but if you persevere and pester them enough you should get your way eventually. But do be sure that what you are asking for is the right thing for you. Get your GP to explain, with details, why they have you on the meds and dose that they have you on. Specifically asked them about the side effects and press your point if you do not agree. Take notes with you, if it help. It will also show them that you have done your research. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
