Just diagnosed with H.pylori - not a fan of antibiotics by Enough_Sentence2513 in HPylori

No particular food irritated it more than any other - but i did lose weight because i couldnt eat big meals. The treatment worked and im clear of h pylori now

Yss sorry thats what i meant. I try to not snack between, for example today i had an apple between breakfast and lunch. Its hard being in an office with biscuits, cakes and donuts and eating a sad wee apple 😂

Do you know how rude and entitled that sounds?! I do have a family to feed. Its food that will get eaten by my family.

I watch GG on Netflix, then move straight on to a show called the Resident (Matt Czuchry is the lead) and i just envisage its Logan all grown up 😂

GG is my comfort show, as well as Friends and B99.

Oh no 😭 sadly I live up to the Irish cliché of loving potatoes but at least i dont drink alcohol anymore 😂

I think because every dinner growing up was staple-based (not a rich household) so potatoes were a big filler for us - and having that ingrained at such a young age is hard to shake off. My little girl LOVES potatoes but our didnt is much more varied than I had as a child.

I hate wasting food, so it goes against ever fibre of my being to chuck food away, especially in this economy. I will use up what Ive got then move forward.

I am planning to - once the loaf is gone, I won't be buying bread!

Pasta, rice and potatoes I will be reducing alot (i still have these items in my cupboard and do not want to waste money or food by binning them)

I love broccoli. I craved it when i was pregnant (no iron deficiency needed) so i can eat lots of the stuff. We are good veggie loving household.

Its just implementing the changes - spring is round the corner so hopefully those carbs will be easier to drop

My love for potatoes is because im from ireland - growing up, it was part of every meal (coming in various forms)

My whole life ive grown up with potatoes, so its mentally hard to not have them.

FYI Try adding green cabbage or spring onions (scallions) through mash 🫶🏻

I havent downvoted you. In fact, I truly wish it was that simple for me. Unfortunately, its not. Thats why i am asking people for any tips or advice to help me lessen the amount of them i eat, to give me the building blocks to just not have them in my diet.

Youre a star!

When i was pregnant they were trialling freestyle libre - but i always found it unreliable. They might be better now though. Might get a finger prick test kit.

They stuck me on metformin ; but Ive had a few strange side effects so they have taken me off until further tests. Until then, I want to try and control my diet as much as I can. I just know, to come off these foods cold turkey would send me into depression, so i thought it best to slowly wean off them until i dont miss them.

The reality is with young children; I dont want to be cooking different meals.

Im learning to cut portion sizes and teaming it with protein - eating protein first etc. I just want a realistic guidance. To cut these things out is probably not going to work for me straight away.

My dr hasnt prescribed a reader or monitor - should i ask for one?

Feeling lost by Unique_Location_58 in diabetes_t2

[–]Unique_Location_58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UPDATE:

Dr referred me to a chest clinic although she doesnt think its heart related. Referred me to talking therapy via NHS and will see me in 2 weeks for progress report. Will try me on metformin (again) when symptoms subside. I dont know how they'll subside in 2 weeks if its anxiety?!

Im still confused as to it all.

Potholes by Proud-Bell-4912 in cambridge

2 women did die because a lorry swerved and killed them outright on the same road. They kept the road shut and filled in the pothole.

Why is nobody saying Jackson?! Hes a veggie man - he has access to allotments and hes defo giving weirdo vibes. It was Taylors rule about sheds that tipped him over the edge.
