Type 2s: What have you eaten today?

[LivingLightly]

Zinc must be consumed through the diet @cdpm since the body does not naturally produce its own.

Richest food sources of zinc include meat, fish and seafood, also eggs and dairy produce.
Nuts supply zinc too.

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that like zinc aides in wound healing.

Should mention avocado @cdpm which is a good source of vitamin C and zinc.

Vitamin C and zinc are important nutrients when it comes to wound healing.

Yes thanks
It's only for approximately 8 hours after I eat each day

Going to be
Completely 0 chunks or pieces- soup I found.

So sore still for even regular soups.

So, if you normally eat at 5.00 pm @cdpm, your intestinal distress usually lasts until around 1.00 am, the early hours of the following day.

Yes @cdpm. It sounds as though a liquid diet plus soft foods like scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and yoghurt is the name of the game until your gums have healed.

 

[LivingLightly]

I'd also take a look at the vitamin pill you use @cdpm. It's important to ensure you have sufficient vitamin C and zinc. Both these nutrients play a vital role in wound healing.

Share what you've eaten today with the rest of the DCUK community and maybe steal a few ideas for yourself!

Low carb contributions are of course welcomed, but please keep in mind that this is not the low carb diet section, and debates about diet should be kept out of this thread. Happy posting!

Tin of herring, 2 sausage and 2 pepper jack cheese sticks, 8 oz of water. Broke my 24 hour fast with the light weight meal.

Yes @cdpm. I hope it eases your gastric symptoms.
What time do you hit the hay, as a rule?

So sorry to hear that @cdpm. I hope you're sipping plenty of fluids. You can't beat water from the tap.
