Tired of holiday feasting??? <lol>

I dunno, after I saw my HDL levels that I ran a couple of nights ago, I
plan to attempt to make shrimp a regular part of our diets. ;-)

It's happened too often now to be just coincedence!

Shrimp raises HDL cholesterol levels.

Reliably!

How do you test your own HDL levels? I've not heard of this unless
you are a lab technician....????

Definitely; I have to hog-tie a doctor to get him/her to get a blood test.
The doctors I've seen usually say the same thing, "not all tests are good
tests," and if they turn out abnormal, they will say, "we'll just wait until
the next time, to see if it has changed."
Yikes! I need a job at your clinic!
How often do you test yourself? If you care to say.

When I am playing around with diet etc., I generally test monthly.

Or, I'll sometimes run a level within 48 to 72 hours of an
"experimental" diet change like eating shrimp. ;-)

My normal HDL runs 45 to 55 most of the time. The other night after 3
days on shrimp, it was 77! I had eaten about 1 lb. on Monday, then just
2 or 3 leftover ones per day on Teus. and Wed. I tested Wed. night. I
had sauteed' 2 lbs. each of large gulf shrimp and fresh water prawn as a
day after Christmas brunch. I cooked them in dill butter and olive oil.

The first time I discovered this anomally, I'd been on a 1 week shrimp
pigout after I found some on closeout at a store that was going out of
business. I have an absolute _passion_ for shrimp!

My HDL was over 100.

I've been proving it to myself ever since that shrimp raises HDL, and
quickly.

There are home testers, but the doctors I have talked to told me that it
takes about 6 months for the ratings to reliably change. "They" say that
these home testers are a waste of money. I'd sure like to have one, but

Come by the house.
I'll draw your blood and take it to work. ;-)

I discovered last night that eating too much shrimp is akin to eating
a package of Ex-Lax.

Really? I wonder if you have a sensitivity to Iodine?
Shrimp has never done that to me! You sure it was the shrimp itself? ;-o

I'm allergic to betadine.

What other foods should I avoid or eat in extreme moderation? This is
the first time it's happened to me. There was this HUGE shrimp ring,
and only one other person was eating it, and ....

I told Crash last night that I was, "explosive diarrhea chick." <G>

That explains it!

Avoid Kelp/seaweed totally, go easy on shrimp and other crustaceans, and
be cautious with shellfish or anything else that comes from the ocean.

Most sea fish should be ok in moderation but there is something about
shrimp that seems to concentrate the Iodine. The gulf shrimp I get are
so bad about it, you can actually _smell_ the Iodine.

Bummer. :-(
It's a sucky allergy if you are a shrimp lover.
