I suspect that most people can eat what they want. But many people have to avoid at least one food for some reason. And that reason is most likely not IgE or IgG related. Yes, I do mean IgG allergies along with IgE allergies. There are others too like IgA and IgM. The Ig stand for "immune globulin." If it is an undesired immune response, then it is an allergy. The reason IgG allergies are hotly debated is that the IgG blood tests show that everyone has allergies. Most doctors claim these are "false positives," because there are no symptoms. The problem is they don't recognize that high BG can be one of the symptoms. I back in school studying biochemistry, because doctors have been no help at all.

The local orgaic farms grows them, but they closed for the season. :'( You can ferment fruit juice and optionally evaporate the alcohol.

With my disease it's of the utmost importance that my diet is based on carbohydrates. Absolutely NO low carbing for me. When it became clear that she didnt know diddlysquat, she killfiled me. That was quite unnerving for a newbie:-( But since killfiling does not always work (think of a reply to me by another poster, who she had not killfiled), she kept on sniping - and even suggesting that I did not even exist.

The problem is they don't recognize that high BG can be one of the symptoms. I back in school studying biochemistry, because doctors have been no help at all. I won't be posting here as much. We most assuredly had symptoms. For me, egg gives me extreme diarrhea and stomach pains. So extreme that I will never touch anything that I think might have a remote chance of egg in it. Dairy? Diarrhea to a lesser extent. And if I keep eating it, like I did for most of my life, then I will also have skin problems and go through Kleenex like you wouldn't believe. Then eventually I will get ear and sinus infections. Oats give me an itchy rash. Mint? Makes me sick to my stomach and when used in dental preparations, tooth sensitivity. I can't remember now what clove does to me but I did have a reaction to it when I ate some pickles that contained it the other day. I remember having a reaction, just don't remember what. Not sure about lovage, thyme of some of the other things. Some, like lamb, I never ate. And I ate the others so infrequently and in such a small amount. Plus I was eating combined problems. So that can make it hard to ferret out the problem. So while I was having symptoms, I didn't relate them to food for most of my life. Why? Because I always had these problems from birth. I was just told, that was the way I was! I assumed that everyone felt like crap all the time. And I used to wonder when I saw people smiling. Like... How can they be so happy when there stomach hurts so much? We only made the connection to milk after my physician told my mom to stop giving it to me. She used to make us drink it at meals even though I always hated it and she told me that I had been allergic to it as an infant. My stomach did get some better and my acne got a lot better? The problem? My mom was still giving me milk! In the form of cheese and stuff like mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. To her, avoiding milk means that you don't drink a glass of milk. She never considers (still doesn't to this day) that milk used as an ingredient could hurt you. I didn't fully make the connection to the other things until I totally stopped consuming them. I discovered the egg on my own. At first, I mostly followed Angela's diet. I didn't avoid wheat in the form of bread or occasionally crackers, or in something like a gravy at a restaurant. But for family meals, I made them totally gluten free. But I ate no dairy and eggs. I didn't get totally better then because I was still consuming some things that *I* shouldn't have. Like almonds. I didn't get fully better until I was tested. By that point I had added dairy back in but not eggs. I have told the story here before about eating the egg salad and having a violent reaction to it. Thought it was food poisoning but then when I tried egg again and had the same reaction, that was it for me and eggs. I then foolishly added dairy back in after a retest showed a problem. And I should have known. I was having a reaction but didn't want to know about it. I really wanted to eat that cheese! Then the last testing showed even more problems. I am considering getting tested yet again due to sinus issues. Angela and my husband both became sick with respiratory things. His was like a cold. Hers was just a bad sore throat with only a little bit of sinus stuff. I thought I had escaped it but I came down with it after they got better, despite dosing myself with faux Airborne. That was over a week ago. My nose is still running a lot. Like it is allergies. I don't feel really sick and I never got the headache that they got. I did feel like spending a couple of days in bed. And I had no appetite. That stuff has resolved but the nose is still running. So now I don't know if it is something in the air or a food that I am eating. I do have allergies to mums and try to avoid them but they are everywhere this time of year. Anyway... The point I was trying to make is that if you have multiple problems with foods, and you continue to eat those foods, it can be next to impossible to tell which foods are the cause. Plus I think your symptoms can be diluted. But once you've eliminated those foods for a year or two, and you eat them again, one of two things can happen. Either you'll outgrow the problem, like I did for a while with dairy, or... Your symptoms will hit you harder than ever. For me, some things cause a fairly immediate response, like oats. But others, like egg will cause such a delayed response that it can be hard to relate the response to the food. |

On 10/11/2013 07:50 PM, Karen wrote: Just this week I had a doctor tell me when you do not get enough energy from carbs your body starts breaking down muscle and then you spill ketones into the urine. Hi Karen, You (or someone else) is paying out the nose for those doctors. Of course follow what they say. If a person has insurance then it might not be that much OOP. Are you sure that is what the doctor said? If you google "Inuit paradox" you will find that the Inuits don't have any carbs at all. Carbs are not necessary for humans. My GP laughed and said I was correct when I mentioned the Inuits. (He was happy I am low carb, rather than constantly trying to cheat the regimen. He does not like having to amputate legs.) Are you an Innuit, Todd? I know you won't see this because you had me KFed. I'm thinking, no because you said you are Jewish and I've never heard of a Jewish Innuit. I have been reading a lot of books on diet and nutrition lately and a lot of a person's diet relates to where they are. There could well be something in the water or the soil of where the Innuits live that factors into this. And even though I am not Karen, I am pretty sure that this is what the Dr. said because countless other people have said this. Your Dr. might tell you to low carb. But I've only ever heard one Dr. say that the body does not need carbs. This was not said to me and the person he said it to was put on the South Beach diet which is not low carb although all carbs except for beans are restricted in the beginning phase. Your liver will manufacture whatever glucose you need. And you spill keytones into your urine when you fast (you feel hungry when this happens). You also blow them out your breath. You will smell like fruit punch. It comes from the breakdown of your own stored fat. (Keyto sticks are really cheap at Wal mart, if you want to monitor yourself. They are over by the diabetic test strips.) And if you're like me and try to low carb, your body will kick out more glucose to compensate. And you'll wind up with high BG. Here is a nice article on keytones: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies "Ketone bodies are three different water-soluble, biochemicals that are produced as by-products when fatty acids are broken down in the liver for energy..." The word is ketones. If you're trying to come across as an expert, you should at least use your spell check. I think possibly you heard your doctor wrong. Maybe next time you see him, you should ask him about the Inuits and where keytones come from. If that is what he really said, you may wish to do some research on your own. (I would get another doctor, but that is only me.) But, I think you heard him wrong: it is a major screw up. OMG! Just freaking OMG! And, when I said "learn to cook", I meant as/for a diabetic. If your diabetes is such, and we all have our own personalized diabetes, that you can eat the modern diet then more power to you. All I can say is that if you go back to Paleo, you will probably feel better and your diabetics will possibly be easier to handle. Perhaps not. Diabetics cook just like everyone else. And just how many diabetics is she handling and why? And if you can eat high carb, this is probably not the best place to publish your recipes. There is a really nice cooking group for regular folks too (T0's). Who died and put you in charge of this group? Anyone can post any recipe they want here. There is nothing off limits to a diabetic as a whole. But some people find they have issues with certain things. It's all a matter of portion size. Yes, that portion may be only one bite so for that reason some people choose not to eat it. And I only kill file nasty people who like to pick fights. So, you are not kill filed. People can disagree with each other without being disagreeable. It is actually fun to learn from others. Let us start over. Hello, my name is Todd. I am a NIDDM (non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetic). I am currently drug free and hope I never have to go on drugs again. I control my T2/NIDDM with diet, natural medicine, and fishing (exercise that is fun). I love to cook diabetic/Paleo. You need to put yourself in the KF then. This is not a Paleo newsgroup. It's a diabetic newsgroup. And when it comes to diabetes, one size does not fit all. Now your turn. I am Karen ... You are Karen? I am confused. |

![]() "Ozgirl" wrote in message ... Karen, I think you may have mis-heard the doctor. Ketone bodies are formed in the liver as a result of fat break-down - the fatty acids are converted to ketones in the liver - first and fore-most (after depletion of glucose stores). Conversion of muscle protein to ketones is way down the track. If you have ever been on a weight loss diet or fasting (or even normal overnight fasting) then you have produced ketone bodies. FWIW, even when I was doing very low carb at the beginning of my type 2 diagnosis I only barely registered ketones on a pee stick. Most times none showed up. Of course that doesn't mean I wasn't producing ketones, just that the concentration wasn't high enough to register. Just like you won't see glucose in your urine until your bg is quite high. The only time you would start to lose muscle is when the body runs out of fuel sources, as in prolonged starvation (as in little to no food - faster obviously if one can't get water either), and protein in muscle becomes the food source. The body is designed in a way to prevent muscle loss, we need muscles to move. Low carbers are not starving and I seriously doubt there are any low carbers out there that lower their protein levels drastically. Eating plenty of protein ensures that the muscles are maintained properly. There are protective metabolic processes in the body that preserve the body for as long as possible, using muscle protein as a very last resort. Once muscle catabolism starts you could probably safely say you are close to death. Slim people will get to that point faster. I believe this bears out both what she said that the Dr. said and what my CDE said. http://www.ehow.com/facts_7357509_ha...hydrates_.html |

![]() "Todd" wrote in message ... Hi Ozgirl and Karen, When I was inducted into the "pin cushion club" it was with diabetic ketoacidosis. This is a whole different issue than someone not feeding themselves enough. I was not eating enough fat, eating tons of carbs, and my cells were burning their own fat and yelling to my liver that they were starving, despite how much I ate. Very insulin resistant. I have fortunately stopped loosing weight since Paleo. Are you sure of this? It is rare for a type 2 to have that. You can monitor your keytones with keyto sticks. They are fairly cheap at Wal mart, over by the diabetic supplies. I can eat all the fat I want and no keytones. They only come when I fast and burn my own fat. (I don't fast on purpose.) This is why dieters on no carb diets monitor their keytones. They actually want to go into ketosis. Never heard of it doing any damage. I'm pretty sure that they monitor their ketones. And that only needs to be done if you have really high BG, or so I was told by my former CDE. |

This is the sort of stuff I read in op-ed parts of the newspaper, not from scientific journals. Biochemistry is rather easy to understand (and a very exciting branch of science) and any search amongst publications like Pubmed etc will explain the citric acid cycle (Kreb's cycle) as part of human metabolic pathways. |
