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:

Breakfast was meatloaf+cheese+orange again but I was starting to get this pain befor then.

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

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Sandi20 · Posted

      Thank you for your feed back and knowledge.  Scott do you know the names of the BIG manufactures who produce most supplements?  Love to research them all and decide on their principles and manufacturing certifications who I want to spend my dollars with if they provide other non private label supplements that are good.

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s an interesting observation! The timing you mention does raise questions about the relationship between modern wheat varieties and the emergence of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). Norman Borlaug’s work on high-yield, disease-resistant wheat during the Green Revolution significantly increased global food production, but it also led to changes in the composition of wheat, including higher gluten content to improve baking qualities. While NCGS was formally recognized as a condition in the 2010s (https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7015-10-13 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820047/) , it’s important to note that the awareness and diagnosis of gluten-related disorders have evolved over time. Some researchers suggest that modern wheat breeding practices, along with changes in food processing and gut health, may contribute to the rise in gluten sensitivity. However, the exact mechanisms behind NCGS are still not fully understood, and it remains a debated topic in the scientific community. It’s also worth considering that increased awareness and improved diagnostic tools have played a role in identifying conditions like NCGS that may have existed but were previously unrecognized. The interplay between genetic, environmental, and dietary factors makes this a complex issue, and more research is needed to fully understand the connections.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.
