Subject: question about diets Would it be prudent to try to adopt some diabetic eating habits as a guard against the effects of prednisone? Cheryl Dear Cheryl, Transplant nutritionist has me on a diet with at least 9 "servings" of protein a day, low in fat and sugar. That in itself kind of approaches some of the diabetes issues, though I am certainly no expert!!!! Also, she also recommended 1500mg of calcium, no more than 2200 or 2500 mg of sodium and to watch my fluid intake so that my system doesn't have to work so hard to get rid of extra fluid. I do feel better when I follow these recommendations and I've heard basically the same from my drs. but they added potassium because of the amount of lasix and furosidmide that I am taking. Cutting down on sugar and carbs probably won't hurt too many of us, ever Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 19, 2004 Report Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yes I can sure do that, she's a friend of mine and lives just next door (of course LOL out in the country right next door means a mile away HA!) I live in Ontario Canada. Someday I want to have my own jersey cow, but back in our " wild " days my hubby and I racked up quite a lot of debt, after trying for years to pay it down and getting depressed that no matter how much we pay the amount is still overwhelming. We just saw an accountant and if we don't spend anymore that necessary to survive then he can see us out of debt in 5 years. Then we plan on getting a small farm but until then I don't know what to do about eating well, when a healthy chicken costs $25 at LEAST and a grocery store one costs $12, the fact that the healthy one is better for us unfortunatly doesn't make it possible. So until we can get out of this hole (then I can FINALLY get my cow and chickens!!!!) I'm at the mercy of the evil-grocer man LOL. My friend charges me about half what the grocery store charges for run of the mill store milk. wrote: From: " " Subject: Re: Milk question Can you go to the farm to check it out? Where do you live?

The encyclopedia says that seltzer water and club soda are beneficial. Sorry, couldn't find tonic or quinine water in the encyclopedia or on the typebase website.

Guest guest Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 Tonic water is ok, just have to check for corn syrup, as you already know. Hard to find without. Emmi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
