I am a 38 year old lady, I have had severe asthma since childhood, had a Respirtory arrest at 14. My regular meds are seretide 250, montelukast, spiriva, ventolin. Asthma has been well controlled until January this year when my asthma flared up and stopped me from to doing day to day activities, my peak

Hi guys, I am 31, male and for the last 4 months I have been struggling with unexplained shortness of breath. Thank you for this forum as it has kept me mentally straight throughout this process. It started 4 months ago, after finally knocking 10 years of social smoking on the head (with a few periods

I was in contact with my nephew the other day and he mentioned he'd been on a 16 hour dry fast. I was puzzled, especially the 'dry' bit until the penny dropped. He's a practising Muslim. The rules are, nothing to eat or drink from sunrise to sunset - for 30 days. You can eat a little just before the

I have lost 5 lbs since I got back on LCHF. I am so pleased. Diet doctor has been helpful along with the books my mom loaned me. Now to try and get my hubby onboard with the lifestyle change. 😏

My 4.5 year old has suffered from constipation since she was 6 months old. She got referred to a paediatrician. We tried disimpaction with movicol in May/June 2019 - 8 sachets a day for 5 weeks. This did not work and we were told to take her to A&E by the paediatrician because he was so concerned about

Hi all, after what was a good 12 weeks for me with no admissions - the longest i had stayed at home since October was 2 weeks, everything feels like it’s going backwards! I have had 2 admissions in the last 4 weeks, one was requiring ITU for 2 nights, I was discharged on Wednesday this week, and again

Morning Well it official, I’m an idiot and decided to sabotage my LCHF eating plan. It started with a few bottles of cherry Pepsi max (I stopped drinking this maybe 8 months ago) then washed down with bags of crisps, and this is a nightly occurrence, (only at night) in fact this has been going on for

I don’t feel hungry any more and I am so satisfied. This has been easier than the first time I tried it. I guess bc I have more knowledge this time. I don’t know. Thanks for all the support here.

Hi everyone, This is what I had for lunch today. It was grits with scrambled eggs and an orange. Everything was really great. It was filling and low carb..😀👍

My mom had several low carb books she has graciously loaned me. She has been very supportive of my weightloss efforts. I’m so excited to continue this journey.

Hi, I'm new here, but not new to problems with gluten. I was diagnosed gluten intolerant about 10 years ago; my grandmother had coeliacs so I assume it is that - I declined the biopsy test. I've not had any real problems with the gluten free diet and have lived quite happily on that. Very occasionally

This seems too much of a coincidence but I had just posted what you read below to a friend of mine (who has doctors and surgeons in his family - all obese). When I went to check my inbox. It was in response to a video he sent me, link below. This was my response: Essentially this has been my take James

Hi all Hope you are keeping safe in these crazy times, so for months now I have had a mucus cough with a crackle if that makes sense. I've had antibiotics etc but I did start smoking again a few months ago and I'm struggling to quit and with covid my gp isnt doing the stop smoke clinic. I do cough up

I finally got serious with LCHF and broke my plateau. My weight was stuck at 190-192. Today I’m 188 yay!!! All thanks to low carb. I have a ways to go. Let’s hope I can keep it up.

Please need your advise knowledgeable people. I got my test and I'm shocked. I have a long history of Hashi's hypothyroidism. I m now on a 150 Ltyroxin. My test 8 months ago was very good, TSH was 0.1 with 0.1-0.4 reference. Today, my TSH jumped to 18.6 and this was after I had a very discipline, gluten

I'm going to try to sum this up. I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. Previously, I was on NP thyroid and low dose Naltrexone. Did not have many problems with anxiety or depression. I had moments but no big deal. I did gain 25 pounds in the last few months on it. Anyways, after that, went

Hi guys, Writing this as I’m having a really tough time of it lately and am getting to the end of my tether. I’ve had asthma all my life, and as a child and in my teens it was severe. My childhood was basically spent in and out of hospital. I’m now 28 and for the past 15 years have had what I’d say
