    Funny, my kiddo does exactly the same thing!

    Yes, it was you Well, all those things are good things for someone on a diet like ours, they add alot of flavor and variety to simple fresh foods! I actually have on my list to re-stock my vinegars and a few oils that I used up last year. LOL about being a food hoarder. My DH is one so I have to manage our supply. That's part of my goal with this...

    Yum! I love it when we have homemade applesauce on hand My DH was in a hurry cleaning up after T-Giving and tossed our turkey carcass in the trash so I missed out on making turkey broth I've got a ham bone if the fridge that I have to find a recipe for. I hope to use it in soup, just have to figure out how/what. I have a plan for that cream...

    pricklypear I've got a container of cream to use up too. We don't usually use it but I bought some for a special purpose. Gotta figure out what to do with it this week, maybe cream of something soup or a pasta sauce. Need to go recipe hunting. I take the extra parsley and dry it. Wash it good, dry it with a towel, chop it fine, lay it out on a paper towel...

    I am casein allergic and soy allergic. I was dx with skin testing. There are a number of tests that can be done for dairy issues. There is a blood test called a milk subfraction test that breaks up the dairy into about 3 or 4 components and tests for reaction to each. There is another kind of test for lactose intolerance but I am not familira with that one...

    You will need to see an allergist for the latex testing. It might be a good idea to call and ask if they are knowledgeable about latex allergy. Be sure to mention your foods-esp. the banana and avacado but show them your list. The latex food cross-reactors are broken into 2 or 3 sections, with banana, avacdo and kiwi in the strong relationship category then...

    Someone mentioned on another thread that they had lots of goodies stashed and planned to try to use them up before buying new. That made me think that would be a good idea for a thread. I'd like to take this time to clean out my pantry and freezer and start fresh, plus it helps the budget just after the holidays and may give us all some new ideas. Here...

    I've never been a fan of meat so I picked the forms I could tolerate and slowly trained myself to eat more. I still could easily go without it but my body needs it and is so much better for it. Start with a small portion, 1 slice or a few cubes if you have to and when he is used to that, add in another slice or half or a few more cubes etc. until you get...

    Yup, that's prety much been my protocol for 2 years now. But it bears repeating for those who are new on this journey or unfamiliar with it. After the first year and re-testing, I started avoiding repeat offenders(tests)for longer time periods-6 months or so. That plus wearyness of these scientific experiments with my body have been why I still have yet...

    Thanks for your support. I talked with my DH last night and he said go ahead and spend the $ and take it regularly. So I'll give it a try and get my scopies and keep trying to reintroduce previously avoided foods etc.

    Alicewa, I was tolerating goat casein after avoiding all casein for a year. I introduced goat, tolerated it well, got tested and my skin test for goat was negative and all was good but after a year of moderate consumption of goat, my casein allergy crossed over to goat and I am now allergic. I miss it.

    Oh, I'm the poster child for this Yes, a few months ago I was gene tested and have DQ2. The Labcorp test didn't break down the genes into much detail but theres the DQ2. You and I understand the connections but the docs have no understanding of all this. My maternal grandmother's family immigrated to the U.S from Ireland for what it's worth. No many...

    Thank You-Sincerely. I think you can understand. I am stuck with the latex, a few food allergies and diabetes but it would help a lot to STOP becoming allergic to foods and get rid of a few food allergies. To achieve some stable status quo would help and be welcome. After 5 years I am tired of reinventing the wheel and rules changing every time I gain...

    I am over 40 and the size of a 12 year old no kidding! Despite significant dietary restrictions I was able to put on 10 lbs over the course of 2 years by increasing protein(meat) alone. I committed to a certain amount each meal, each day. Here are some protein and calorie rich foods: avacados nuts(esp. macadamia nuts) and nut butters and almond meal...

    I know probiotics are harmless and very beneficial, just so many expenses...I have monthly diabetes supplies to buy too. I end up allergic to anything I eat frequently and my body's defenition of frequently is probably normal for anyone else. I am very concerned about losing more foods/ingredients and even supplements. Add to that the fact that I am...

    Thank you for sharing irisheart, so true about the dietician. I finally caved recently and jumped through the hoops just for the docs and saw one. I would recommend her. She was good but she was honest and didn't even charge me for the full session because she didn't feel she could do anything for me aside what I was already doing for myself. She basically...

    T1 D is easy to dx but still easily goes undx or mis dx in adults onset cases. I was thin so all the docs said I couldn't possibly have diabetes. Don't worry! they said. Even when I was dx at 77 lbs they called me a T2 because my numbers weren't what they expected for a classic T1. LADA form of diabetes is slow onset and often goes undx or mis dx. It is not...

    I've been gluten-free 5 years or so. Your list of avoids is about like mine. I have most of yours on my avoids list too all except the strawberries, rices and oats. I have many others you didn't list as well. You should try less commonly eaten veg etc. Go to the asian section or asian market and try bok choy, lotus root, or regular grocer and try kale, chard...

    I wouldn't tell them. I once sent a pan of homemade coco krispy treats to my son's class. He made the innocent mistake of declaring that they were gluten-free. Not one kid ate one, not even the teacher! He was so sad and I was so mad! It's ridiculous because they were just marshmallows, butter and a gluten-free brand of cereal that many people who are...

    That type of thing is why I get on my soapbox now and am a little blunt about things when I share with people. It's out of anger and care. The endo I consulted said for my T1 dx said I might have been better off if I'd had insulin when I was pregnant. She said it takes twice the insulin to get the same numbers so my pancreas was probably working really hard...

    Good for you for testing. I know it's hard to manage record keeping when you are a busy mom but it is helpful if you can do it. You can test all 1 hr. pp's one week and 2 hrs. the next etc. or test one meal at 1 hrs, 2 hrs, 3 hrs etc. one day and another the next or do all breakfasts for a week, lunches that next. Many ways to track and learn. There is a...

    Beans usually count more as carb from a bloo sugar standpoint. Chickpeas were the least impacting on my BG. You can still have muffins! Google low-carb flax muffins or low-carb almond meal muffins. Lots of fat, calories, protein and almost no carbs.
  23. missy'smom
    Eating regulary timed meals might be important for you. One of the situtaions that you can find me low is if I go more than 5 hrs without eating. I either have to strictly eat on time or carry something with me to nibble on if I think I will be late for a meal. It is a very fine balance. I can't snack mindlessly or emotionally. I take a measured amount...
  24. missy'smom
    I see now, you posted your numbers. 200 something post-meal is high. No wonder you are not feeling well! Your a.m. fasting lows might be reactive hypoglycemia from the supper or evening carbs. Even though I am T1 I still get mild lows on occasion-65-75, without meds or insulin. Just my unusual body To avoid those highs you want to avoid those...

    Please don't go by fasting BG alone, although to be honest 129 is high enough in my opinion. I usually stay well under that, under 100, without meds or insulin. It is very rare that I go as high as 129 for my fasting. Any one-time BG reading is not very helpful. You need data from multiple times. As a mom who went undx far too long I encourage you to get...
