:) Omg, I had to get in on this one-I have a friend who swears fried mac and cheese is the greatest food on the planet. She makes the creamy homemade good kind, though. Any leftovers the next day she fries in a pan with butter. Can you say arteriosclerosis?!! Deep fried must mean they make it thick with cheese and make it into a ball? I would think it would look pretty gross... :blink: Plus, wouldn't the grease in the cheese melt and then with the grease on the outside just make it one huge greaseball-y glob? :o

I have seen deep fried tweenkies too, but the strangest thing I ever heard of was batter-dipped deep fried dill pickles. I am ashamed to admit I think I would like the pickles, lol. I think they would maybe taste like fried green tomatoes.

btw-Susan --Yay! Great to see you!!!

Robbin--I've not seen the stuff personally, I'm told that it is bite-sized "nuggets" of deep fried mac and cheese. All I can think is they must scoop it into the hot fat and fry it up like that :blink:

Leah--Deep fried Coke--really? :lol:

Susie -- how are you?????? Lynnie

Before being diagnosed, we had all that deep-fried garbage at our State Fair. Deep fried snickers bars, twinkies, etc. Never tried them, because it just sounded WRONG!!!!! Also thought that it had to be a Kentucky redneck thing . . . . !!!!! :lol: Didn't know that it would be anywhere else . . . We have a restaurant that sells deep-fried pickle chips . . . called "frickled pickles"

Need to go . . . . moment of silence is getting ready to begin

I had these pre-gluten-free. They're not great, but they're not as bad as they sound. I never was a breaded and fried lover, if I had been, I'd have loved them.

Sad but true.

Now, I do have to admit, I love fried jalapenos! They're not exactly healthy either.

After seeing how he makes it, I probably would have tried it--once upon a time. Sounds like something that would taste good for the first couple of bites, then get sickish.

One of my favorite appitizers used to be Olive Garden deep fried zucchini slices--they dust them with grated cheese--so good!

Then how on earth do you deep fry it? :blink::huh::D:D

Pauliina

Anything that can be battered can be deep fried :rolleyes:

In the UK you can get snickers and mars bar in batter deep fried

Yum-NOT :o:o

Oh I feel queasy :unsure:

It's a southern delicacy down here too - blech! :P

State fair food is evil.

"The challenge is getting people to think of other ways to eat beef," said Betty Hogan, director of new product development for the [National Cattlemen's Beef Association].

Regular cheeseburgers aren't fatty enough!!???

Also there's somebody at the Texas State Fair that makes "Fried Coke"...

I think I saw those things on unwrapped and said "EWW"

And then I saw them in my sister's freezer. What on Earth is wrong with people? :huh:

Oh, and when I got to college (I moved from NY to AR), I ate at the dining halls. I joked to everyone nothern that they fry everything but the coke!

Apparently fried twinkies are quite the thing at A&M. Gross.

And I loooooove fried pickles, sadly. It was the only thing I'd eat at AQ Chicken House!

Hmm...I should try frying some one day. :)

:lol::lol::lol: so true...

Hi everybody! Been keeping a low profile here....

Fried pickles.....I REALLY don't get that one at all. Deep fried anything.....so disgusting. I was in the waiting room of the hospital the other day, and there was a family from Holland there, six people, here for three weeks, we chatted a while and they were shocked at the lack of physical activity here.....said something about the option of staying in their rented RV in a church parking lot, less than a mile away. They were astounded that the social worker gave them a phone number for someone to come pick them up.....they said, doesn't anybody WALK here? (nope, no one does, but it's a very spread-out town.) And they commented very delicately on the obesity they've seen in this country.....they were appalled.

I'm pretty sure they don't deep-fry everything in Europe as we do here.....it is truly evil! :blink:

Leah - fried coke batter......EWWWWWWWW - - positively vomitous!

It would be even more noticeable for someone from Holland. :D Since this is such a flat country, and very densely built, meaning in towns distances are very manageable, everybody bikes to places. People might drive to work, or take a train (also very common) but then they might bike to the shops or to the train station or just for fun in the weekend. Or indeed just walk... it's a national pastime apparently (I'm not Dutch!) to take a train to some remote place and then follow a route description you can buy at a tourist office around a nice countryside route either back to the same station or to another one.

I had a couple of visitors from the US once, they were amazed at the masses and masses of bikes that are parked outside of Amsterdam central station. Instead of a car park building, there's a three story structure to park your bike... :blink::D Here in Utrecht their planning to rebuild the station and one of the important planning decisions to make is for how many bikes can they provide space for. :D

Ok, so it's not my native country, but I think this is something the Dutch well deserve to be proud of. :)

      Toddler recently diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes and need help understanding coeliac screening test results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I agree, low carb/no carb is the best way to go.   I follow the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a ketogenic Paleo diet, for my diabetes and celiac disease.  I keep carbs low.  The AIP diet helps immensely to keep my blood glucose levels in range.  I supplement with Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, because the pancreas uses lots of thiamine to make insulin and digestive enzymes.  Thiamine deficiency can precipitate diabetes.   Thiamine is needed to turn carbohydrates into energy.  In an effort to ration thiamine if there's insufficient thiamine, the body turns excess carbohydrates into fat and stores it, hense the rise in obesity.  (Our bodies are naturally more efficient at burning fat for fuel.)  Highly processed foods do not contain sufficient vitamins and minerals needed for the body to process them into energy and enzymes necessary for the body to function and grow properly.  This is called High Calorie Malnutrition by Dr. Chandler Marrs and Dr. Derrek Lonsdale (Hiding In Plain Site:Modern Thiamine Deficiency).  Dr. Lonsdale has studied thiamine in children and adults with diabetes and other diseases for decades.  Their website "hormones matter" is very informative.

      Might want to see a rheumatologist also, as if this is an autoimmune disease they might be better equipped to to handle and treat. I was finally diagnosed after a biopsy on one of my quads. Condition known as IBM or inclusion body myositis . Good luck  Good luck

      Wends is correct in that for generations the food pyramid chart we were given with carbs at the base is incorrect. The average person gets far too many of their calories from carbs and coincidentally, more calories than they need for good health since carbohydrate rich foods are also calory rich foods. The body can learn to convert protein and fat into energy more efficiently when carbs are withheld. This is the basis of the ketogenic diet and why it works so well. I am not sure I would go full keto for a developing child however. Carbs are not evil. The problem isn't carbs per se but too many carbs.

       In terms of a low carb diet the thing to remember is that it is not a “no carb” diet. Far from it. There are a lot of misconceptions. Real food is the key. Avoiding refined sugars and starches. In the textbook that doctors use it states that “Carbohydrates” are not essential to life, unlike proteins and fats. Glucose on the other hand is essential, yes, and the liver makes and tightly regulates all it needs in the presence of adequate calories from proteins and fats. It’s biochemistry 101.  My personal view is that the NHS advice is out of date. And no wonder the life expectancy and quality of life of people with diabetes down the road is reduced - not to mention the cost to the NHS when complications arise decades after diagnosis because too much insulin to keep numbers in range is like a bandage to cover up while under the surface the damage is still going on. Retinopathy. Peripheral neuropathy. Sorry, don’t want to doom and gloom. But it’s true. The fuel you choose today dictates tomorrow. The information is out there in the scientific papers. It’s a can of worms but there is decades of scientific literature to back up a natural low carb diet. Professor Tim Noakes of Cape Town university went through a three year trial (and won) after a dietitian accused him because he recommended weaning a child on to meat after breastfeeding. They said they needed carbohydrates. He’s a professor of sports and exercise and medical doctor with diabetes. There’s a whole host of Professors and medical doctors and dietitians and medical professionals around the world advocating for real food and essentially a low carb diet. Humans evolved over millennia on real food. None of the modern high carb ultra processed or modern breads of the last century or so. Check out the Public Health Collaboration UK based charity. There’s conference videos online and free info. I think type 1 diabetes was covered a few years ago. Dr David Cavan UK specialist. Professor Knoakes also came out with a great cookery book called Superfood for Superchildren…from toddlers to teens. It is part of the Real Meal Revolution series of healthy eating. It sounds like youre on this already with breastfeeding and eating healthy so good on you! So sorry about the cards your little one has been dealt but with the right education and diet it is totally manageable and there’s no reason not to have stable blood sugars and have a long and happy life without diabetes complications. Same as children diagnosed with coeliac disease, a healthy naturally gluten free diet is the antidote to the gluten poisoning. Sugar and refined starches are toxic to diabetics. With modern technology of blood glucose monitors it’s easy to figure out suitable foods by how different foods effect the blood glucose level. Sorry, the reference of igA deficiency possibility was to Trent’s reply regarding Total igA and “artificially low” positive test. Not the case as the NHS screen total igA. In terms of poo signs. The Guts UK charity has loads of great info.
