Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

cdpm said:
Yes I was. The reactions were inconsistent and one day the same thing bothered me then didn't the next time!!
I eventually quit as I wasn't learning anything from it.
And it got distressing seeing that so few things were ok.

The inconsistency alone is valuable information @cdpm. It's not typical of food intolerance. Perhaps consider requesting referral to a gastroenterologist for investigations.

I wouldn't recommend whole flaxseeds @cdpm. They are usually sold ready ground. Once milled, they are nutritious and diabetic-friendly. I use ground flaxseeds, otherwise known as linseeds, as a substitute for breadcrumbs in all manner of recipes.

Thursday's lunch was a classic example @cdpm where ground flaxseeds are used instead of the customary breadcrumbs.

L. Walnut and mushroom roast using onions, eggs and flax 'egg', (customary breadcrumbs omitted) garlic, vegetable stock and rosemary.

Let me know if you would like me to post the recipe for this vegetarian dish.
