Peak Flow Advice?
Hi peeps Just wondering how important it is to keep track of your peak flow? I check it when my chest is tight and I’m struggling but apart from that I don’t really bother... Is it worth checking it regularly? I tend not to really worry about these things as I don’t feel things are that bad... but

Need help understanding living with asthma.
Hi folks, I have been living with asthma for only about a year and a half after having an asthma attack that landed me in ICU for 8 days. I am okay now and have not had any incidents since. But the last year and a half has been problematic and confusing because I am constantly feeling like my airways

Peak flow test
I have recently been given a peak flow test to test for asthma. I am waiting a call back from my GP. I was told to do the test and then again after I use the inhaler. My question is how long do I wait after using the inhaler before I do the peak flow test? Thanks

Irbesartan side effects.
My husband eliminated indigestion by following a low carb diet. Recently indigestion has returned, and it more or less coincided with changing to Irbesartan. Has anyone else noticed this?

Overcoming ADD without Meds
Has anyone tried to overcome their ADD without meds, antidepressants and choose to reduce symptoms with a low-carb diet (no preservatives/sugar/junk food etc.) combined with regular exercise, meditation & positive affirmations etc. I know this is not possible for everyone to improve their ADD symptoms

Aerobika
Morning all, I started using the aerobika twice a day in the last few months and thought I would let you know my experience. I use it for twenty minutes and it seems to compare to postural drainage for clearing mucus. However, I noticed about four weeks ago that I can drink far more water. This is unscientific

Quiche
This was what I had tonight. I also had asparagus and a Greek yogurt on the side. The crust was made with yellow rice and two different types of cheese and fake bacon pieces mixed in. Very good and low carb high protein. There are leftovers for another dinner.😀👍

Weight loss and carbs for PMR
I’m looking for any advice or recommendations please for losing weight whilst on Predisnolone. I am currently slowly tapering from 15mg last July when first diagnosed with PMR to 8.5mg now. I have been overweight for many years & although I have managed not to put on any more weight I cannot lose any

Clenil or Qvar
I have taken Clenil for years and years - basically since it was decided it was better for the environment and I’ve been trundling along very nicely with no problems at all. I was recently given Qvar - it was back at the start of lockdown, there seemed to be some sort of a delay then I was told the pharmacist

New to this
In January I was sent for blood tests by a gynaecologist and he happened to check my thyroid as he was doing a full check. I was told by the GP that the results showed i had a ’massively’ underactive thyroid and she went through the symptoms with me- most of which I’d been suffering with but I’d put

Tuesday - pancake day
All this talk of waffles, anyone got a good low carb pancake mix for next Tuesday please. Only one I can find is made with almond flour more like drop scones did a dummy run and we found them acceptable but gritty?

Bone broth vs collagen powder
I've been looking at LCHF recipes which include collagen powder as an ingredient. I googled that to find out what it is. The answer scared me but then I read that bone broth has a useful supply of collagen. Does anyone take collagen powder or make bone broth? If so, how?

Asthma and smoking..anyone smoke??
Hi all hope your keeping well, I'm having trouble with stopping smoking and I feel like my asthma is constant but my peak flow and oxygen are fine. Is it possible that thinking about the asthma to much is making it worse? And does anyone here with asthma smoke?? How does it make your throat feel if so

RA and gluten free
I’m finding non-evidenced research online about gluten-free diets being useful for lowering inflammation in RA. Does anyone on here follow a gluten-free diet and see a marked benefit?

Low carb.....again.
In my never ending search for more low carb goodies to brighten my life I spend many an hour searching the web, there are numerous helpful sites and blogs. Another of my hunting grounds is Amazon, looking inside recipe books. The other day I discovered chaffles, a low carb waffle. Basically a batter

Weird new allergies and non-allergic asthma
Anyone else have this issue? I have severe non-allergic, non-eosinophilic asthma, but also have hayfever - which is a bit weird but I have read up on it and it's possible; seems to be mainly trees. I have triggers including floral scents such as lavender, rose, violet etc but they just trigger asthma

Is there anything I can do to halt my disease progression?
Is there anything else I can do to halt my disease progression? My current GFR is 86 and I'm just trying to stop this thing before it gets out-of-hand. I currently do not eat refined sugar, gluten, or red meat. I have been sticking to a low sodium diet as well and eat mostly vegetables and fruit. I am

Improved Fibroscan with low carb diet
HI everyone: After losing 75 pounds with a low carb diet (i weighed 225 due to an anti depressant), my Fibroscan total fat level went down from approximately 75%(over 325) to under 10% (225). The diet was very very challenging, but feeling proud that I did it...now to stay on the diet to keep blood
