Nutrition

[Guest guest]

HI!

Here is goes. I am going to throw a monkey wrench into the postings on

trigger foods and nutrition. On Wed. I went to see my psychologist. He

spent the hour on what he discovered about nutrition and the many cases of

people he has helped over the past ten plus years. I immediately left his

office and went the Borders books and bought four books. I have been reading

them voraciously.

Think about these theories before throwing them out.... AND has anyone been

on the following " diet " plans?

The main guru on these theories is Dr. Schwarzbein - her book is called the

Schwarzbein Principle. The other Drs. researching these theories are the

Hellers, among others.

Basically, the theories are that carbohydrates turn into fat - if not burned

- AND eating carbohydrates TAXES insulin production. Dr. Schwarzbein is an

endocrinologist and began her research on a diabetic ward in a hospital in

CA. She would find that the diabetics would wake up with normal glucose

levels after fasting at night for eight hours. She then said an hour after

they were fed a high carb diet - cereal toast oj, their blood glucose levels

skyrocketed and they needed insulin. There is so much more to her theories,

but I tell you, I am seriously looking into it. She says low-fat CAUSES more

problems.

I got to thinking about all this because I have been on TPN for three weeks

and have been monitoring my blood glucose - it initially turned me into a

diabetic, but I no longer need insulin. My question was - if I am trying to

let my pancreas rest, how come I was taxing the insulin production aspect of

my pancreas so much with dumping pure glucose in my system for ten hours!!!

It seemed to me that would STRESS my pancreas...

Anyway, I have started adding foods to my diet. Instead of adding rice,

potatoes, toast, and juices - ALL carbohydrates forcing extra insulin

production - I started with a cheese omelet, steamed and fresh vegetables,

cheese and crackers, chicken, turkey. I have been doing this for a WEEK now

and feel GREAT! I have been off pain meds and nausea meds for over a week (I

do have periods where I am still free from pain with supposedly not having

any damage to my panc).

There is so much more I want to say about this, but I'll stop and see if

anyone has any feedback - check into the Schwartzbein Principle. Maybe it

doesn't apply to CP, but I am GREATLY concerned with the traditional food

pyramid, loading our systems up with carbs - which are sugars, needing

insulin to turn them into FAT!!!
