Low carbohydrate diet

We've added low carb to our intermittent fasting as already stated some 3 weeks back. I weighed myself this morning and have lost .3kg. I know PMRpro posted in response to a previous post about the steroid effect and only vaguely understood it. Last night whilst not being able to sleep I used Carb

Hi I'm looking for suppliers of Low dose naltrexone or just the regular naltrexone tablets. Has anyone got any recommendations please?

Hi, this is going to be a long one. I came down with suspected Covid at the end of March. Previous to this my asthma was well controlled on fostair 4 x 100/6, ventolin as needed (once a month or less), dymista and cetirazine. I've been on this lot for about 7 years with the occasional issue after respiratory

I eat avocados almost every day and We know that avocados have good amounts of oleic acid. I also eat a low-fat diet. I found this online and tell me what you think?: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/ana.410210304 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3951702

I have been so appreciative of help from you all. My dilemma now is am I a true asthmatic or victim of allergy. I have had side effects from Fostair and Budesomide . Last night I stayed off my inhaler to test my reaction. This morning my peak flow was usual 550 and SP02 97. Am I being foolish to wonder

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

For those not visting dietdoctor.com regulalry you may have missed that they are screening this conference live and following the sessions, the presentations are available to view in one's own time. I am assuming they will be available for one month. Then the presentations will be uploaded progressively

Have been attempting to do this (more, it's our norm for much of the week) in the last week but have failed. Daughter is moving house today and our services were needed on 2 days.. (If she got sick I would go and care for her, always a mum). So, today is Day 1 and I've already gone back on my idea

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

Hi guys, it's been a little over a month that I started a low carb diet but no significant weight loss up to now. I have cheated several times by eating pastries or fries but on the whole I have maintained the low carb diet. Now after one month I simply feel like giving up but I know I will feel worse

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

Apparently last week was Salt Awareness Week, and me being my usual disorganized self, I just got around to writing some observations about that in the LCHF group. Since some of you are here with medical issues like hypertension, I thought it might be of more general interest: https://healthunlocked.com

Apparently it is (or was, as of yesterday) National Salt Awareness Week, organised by some worthies known as 'Action On Salt' (http://www.actiononsalt.org.uk/), with the hashtag ''#eatlessalt'. If nothing else, the existence of such things probably tells you all you need to know about our unhealthy relationship

My son and family which includes 2 grandkids, left on Saturday after a week's visit. I cooked (and baked!!) to get the meals in the freezer, I baked a yummy cake and made a couple of puds. I was determined not to fall off the wagon (apart from going to the ice cream shop/café where the ice creams are

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

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

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?

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
