check my recipes post? ;-)

LOL dunno how I forgot about that thread you sure put alot of work in to it!

basic premise: make your vegetables and meat around the same size. cook your meat first, and cook your vegetables in the order of which ones can stand the head the longest. here's a very simple one:

cut up boneless chicken thighs into cubes (about four slices across the long way, and then into cubes)

cut up a red bell pepper into roughly 1" squares

wash about a pound of sugar snap peas (or snow peas, I think those are lower in sugar)

heat a 12" skillet (or a wok if you've got one), then add 2 tbsp canola oil (or chili oil). add chili flakes (if you've got 'em), then the chicken, stirring/flipping off and on until it's nearly cooked through, about six minutes. add a tablespoon or two of soy sauce (I think you're doing soy, if not, let me know and we'll go non-soy routes.) add the peas, and cook, stirring, until it's turning a brighter green and just barely cooked through, about three minutes. add the bell pepper, stirring for 30 seconds or so, and remove from the heat. all done, and only one pot and possibly two plates dirty.

other vegetables that work well for stir fries: bean sprouts, carrots, bok choy, onions, broccoli, zucchini, baby corn, and mushrooms. you can also add fresh (or dried) garlic or ginger or jalapeno (or other chili pepper). you can serve over rice (preferrably brown or wild), or eat on it's own if you put a lot of veggies in with it.

Well that sounds simple enough... dont have a wok though, but I guess thats something I could invest in if need be.

eh... I use my Open Original Shared Link most of the time anyway, unless I'm making two stir-fries. (Best pan ever! And Amazon still has them for $25, instead of $170!! I can't believe it!!! Get one!!!! :lol: Really, it's a *fabulous* multipurpose pot... the only thing I don't cook in it is soup, because I make more soup than it will hold.)

the recipe post I mentioned has more stir-fry recipes, and you can get really creative, and use all kinds of different spices/seasonings/ingredients. cutting the items differently (cubed/squared versus long strips, or large versus small) produces interesting variations as well.

You should probably add some carb to your lunch...one serving, like a slice of bread, crackers, you know the drill...it's a good idea to make sure you remember the size of a carb serving, cause of course too much ain't good. How are you feeling, now that you're getting closer and you're flu-free?

Veggies and fruits are carbs. I don't know if you specifically need starchy carbs for the hypo thing though.

veggies are carbs, but you have to look at how much carbs they have. even a sweet pepper doesn't have that much... a whole pepper has 7g. (check the handy dandy usda nutrient database!)

The classic ol' diabetes diet, which in the face of all the new "cutting edge" eating plans that bombard us through the years, has always stood the test of time in my perspective, and teaches that ONLY starchy veggies, ie. potatoes, corn, peas and legumes, have enough carbohydrate in them to count as a carb exchange. So I always count the other veggies as necessary antioxidant and vitamin sources, and not much else. I'm sure that train of though would work for hypos, as well...

UGH I am in so much pain this AM. work up this way. Dunno what I did wrong. through out my stomache section. Must be bloated too cause pants dont fit. Major meetings not only at work today, but at home have to meet with the city about my son's specail turtors cant be down today! :angry:

A carb exchange is a serving of carbohydrate in diabetes lingo...I forget the gram # of carbs that foods must have to qualify as a carbohydrate serving. Virtually all fruits count as carb exchanges, and of course grain. But as I said, only a few veggies have enough carboydrate in them to count and make any difference in your BS levels. You may want to check out the diabetic diet and all of its info on carb foods and serving sizes. Easy to google... :)

Have you been eating dairy and gluten again? Is that contributing to the problem?

unless you're the type who isn't food of starchy vegetables and eats gobs of the other kind. :P (but I do mean GOBS.)

I was going to ask, Vincent... what'd you have for dinner the night before? (was it enough?) and is an orange enough carbs for breakfast? that's only, 15g? 20g? something small, as I recall...

It could also be the restaurant meal you ate yesterday...I've been reacting more slowly these days to stuff like that. I ate a half a Krispy Creme donut yesterday (don't ask--I just don't know what came over me--it was the first time I've done something like that since October), and I'm just now starting to feel the effects...big bloated tummy, gas, lightheadeded (although having that a lot lately so don't think it's related), pain in my abdomen.

Gluten is not a problem for me (yet?), only for my son. And not had any dairy (or gluten) yet today (well at time of taht post). House is gluten-free for our son's sake, so dinner, desert, etc all gluten-free. I am sure dairy in of itsself is not an issue, aside form sugar angle.

Pain has passed. I am wondering it was a gas poket from having my insides viloently emptied durring that stomache thing, then dumping food on top of it.

Dinner was Cheeseburger cassarole (umm, just about zero carbs) and some of those no-counting-veggies for I guess no-carbs, and added som tostitio salsa to it for probably no real amount of more carbs, BUT before you panic.. I plan that so I could have my Ice Cream, but its "no sugar added" so umm like 12 carbs or somthing like that... your gonna tell me not enough carbs arnt you... :(

Since break fast (that was aourn 430am its now 11am) I have had hardboiled egg in no-counting-saladveggie bed, an orange, a SB Protien bar, and 1 serving of Cocoapuffs (about 25carbs) in 4 oz of whole milk. And pain is gone right now... but all I have left is a banana an another protien bar LOL. Gotta find an altertive for those bars but they are good....

But did you eat dairy or gluten yesterday, or the day before, or the day before that? If so, and if you weren't feeling great today, the dairy or gluten could still be contributing to the problem. It sometimes takes me several days to react to dairy or gluten (just trying to throw out some possibilities).

1 "carb exchange" = 15g carbs. They consider that one serving, under 5 or 6 carbs is a "free food in moderation"

For HypoStuffs do you count fiber? For atkins you subtracted fiber from the carb count when counting carbs.

I swear, the Nutrient Database and Excel (or your open source spreadsheet of choice :P ) are your friends. Keep a running total of what goes into your mouth (get a food scale if you need to), and see what levels of carbs you need to keep YOUR body happy. It's SO different person to person. Think of it like any other science experiement, unfortunately, the only valid test subject is you. :rolleyes: ('cause those 'free carbs' aren't really free - have three servings of those 5g/each things, and you may notice it...)

Fiber has a moderating effect, but it's not as simple as 'taking it away'.

I do use a scale , and the database, and Excel even!

When I was doing Aktins I was close to 100carbs a day to get to a stable condition, which is MUCH higher then recomeded on teh diet, prehaps that what I need to counter the hyposugar stuffs

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
