[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2027631, member: 85785"] Hi [USER=493089]@Catkysydney[/USER], Hope you are feeling a bit better with eating less carbs! No the other meds are not for RH, I was prescribed them about twenty years ago because of hypertension (not got it!) And for heart health familial! (I haven't had heart problems but it is problematic in my family). I was advised to have only paracetamol for colds, flu, headaches and such, and to make sure that the brand was okay not to raise blood sugar levels. A lot of medicine is full of sugar or lactose, especially cold remedies, I steer clear of those. The same with antibiotics, I have had one only one course of antibiotics since diagnosis and my GP ensured that the meds were sugar and lactose free. The antibiotics were not in tablet form! I can't remember what the name of it was, but it worked and wasn't a problem. Never heard of that condition, got to be posh with a double barrelled name!! No pasta! I use to enjoy meatballs and spaghetti, now, it's just meatballs! Even the low carb pasta variety, is not good for me! I don't eat much carbs at all, I have learned to eat without even low carbs. I enjoy my protein and salad vegetables too much. I eat a lot of eggs and of bacon, gammon and ham. Roast pork for Sunday or pulled pork! I treat myself with steak once a week, most of my meals have mushrooms and tomatoes. After a good fasting day, nowt like a gammon grilled, mushrooms, onions, tomatoes fried in a frying pan with a small amount of duck fat, I can and do fry with animal fats because for the reason that vegetable oils are not good for me. I was told to avoid them when I was tested for allergies. My body is better avoiding carbs, and I have adapted to being in ketosis as much as possible. I really feel better without carbs! My last but one GP, told me I was carb intolerant and my endocrinologist couldn't disagree with her! So, logic dictates that if your tolerance to certain foods is what is making you ill, then why eat it? Intolerance is another word for an allergy, that is why the condition is called Reactive. Your blood sugar levels react to what you consume! I wouldn't worry about calories, because if you are low carb, you caloric intake won't make a difference to your weight. Portion size is important, but as you go through the first few months, you will find that low carb and having normal blood sugar range consistently, will effect your appetite, and the need to constantly fill up, is not necessary and the good fats you eat will satiate you more. The low carb forum has ideas and recipes and the best saturated fats to have, which will help with satiety. I did not test positive for gluten, but because I'm intolerant to most grains including wheat, I can't eat grains, oats are okay for some, but I used to eat porridge for breakfast, because it was part of my dietary advice from my health care providers!
