Experiences with

Low sodium diet

He is on diuretics but not been told a low sodium diet but I understand it is needed. We don’t use a lot of salt but is there some kind of check sheet that anyone has been given? Wishing all a healthy future. Thanks in advance.

They have put me on a strict low sodium diet and increased my diaretics to hopefully control and eliminate the Edema. I’m a week into that and have lost 10 pounds so hopefully it’s starting to work. Anyone else have or had Edema. How did it go? Thanks.

Feeling pretty frustrated as there seems to be no answers, so I just take one day at a time, eat a low protein and low sodium diet as much as possible, and try to be as positive as possible under the circumstances.

I have been on very low sodium diet past 5 years, with low protein added last NOvember. Diet does not seem to make much difference. I thought most people lose weight on chemo, but since one of my drugs is super high dose steroids, I have gained 15# in a month.

I've got chronic constipation that requires 12 sodium docusate a day and a low/no residue diet. Finally I've got a retropubalis muscle problem that makes having a poo practically impossible. :-/ #gaslightinggastro #fedup #uncomfortable #malnourished #constipation

Good morning everyone.I've been a type 2 diabetic for 10 years. Once I'd got a grip of it my hba1c were stable and I gained good control, mainly through eating low carb. 3 years ago I had an oesophagectomy due to having oesophageal cancer. Ever since my operation I'm having problems with high blood sugars

I'm a 70 year old man. I have been low BMI and physically active all my life, and have always been interested in healthy eating, endeavoring to keep abreast of the latest trends and recommendations. I’ve been following a low carb diet for a number of years now; ever since my doctor told me I needed

I was told I was pre diabetic by my Gp as a result blood test which was 43, I just tipped over. This has shocked me and for the past two weeks I’ve been seriously following the Blood Sugar diet to lose weight and try and reverse this. I’ve another blood test scheduled for April. Here’s my question:

I am type 2 10+years and now injecting insulin and use a CDM device. I have joined a gym recently as I want to commit to losing weight and tried couch to 5 k previously out of doors and had several accidents which deterred me. I am over 70 but am mentally active and enjoy work .

My dad (who never drank) was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 81 Sept. 2024. Apparently it was from fatty liver. I decided to get my liver checked. I had a blood test and an ultrasound. Blood test showed ALT and AST levels as higher end of moderate and the ultrasound showed that the

I was wondering if anyone has had experience of gallbladder problems causing IBS D? I’m suffering persistent symptoms, pain under my ribs on the right side, on waking / in the night nausea, heartburn and wind. I generally have water diarrhoea 1st thing in the morning 2-3 times then loose stool 2-4 times

Hi everyone. A consultant suspects I have bile acid malabsorption and I agree. I’ve been taking colestyramine while waiting for my seHcat scan. Since taking the colestyramine and significantly reducing the fat in my diet my symptoms have for the most past disappeared. Occasionally they come back

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is having a flare free day. So I am in Spain for a month and this is my 8th day. unfortunately I also just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, with glucose levels hitting the 20’s so I thought it was a perfect time to eat low carb and cut out sugar, and my glucose levels

I would like to ask if anyone has mild chronic pancreatitis? My Dr does not really say much about it other than take creon, and low fat diet, no red meat, no alcohol, Dr says its unspecified to why I have it I also have mild gastroparesis, thanks in advance

A bit of background: I had been seeing a "retired GP with a special interest in Opthalmology" (a lovely man) at an NHS community clinic for a few years due to blurred vision which my optician insisted was dry eyes. The specialist GP told me I had cataracts developing and eventually, in April and May

Hello all, I'd like your guidance in my diet concerns. I'm almost months after losing my husband to AML. My concern is that I just have zero motivation to cook or eat anything remotely healthy. Where we used to eat relatively balanced meals, I fall so short in eating anything that resembles a vegetable

You may remember a couple of months ago I was diagnosed from a BNP blood test (very high) and not very good ultra sound scan and GP thought I needed an MRI which only a cardiologist could order so she referred me. Imagine my surprise when I didn’t see a cardiologist at the first appointment but a

I have been under Moorfields eye hospital since July 24 following an episode of uveitis which appeared mid covid in my right eye. Monitoring has now shown microaneurysms in only my left eye which apparently is consistent with a diabetes diagnosis (which I don't have). I do have steroid induced glaucoma

My story is in the bio. Had an appointment with my Hopkins MO yesterday. Apparently my case is weird enough that it has attracted a fair amount of interest there. They're trying to understand how in these circumstances in the absence of treatment the PSA could be rapidly dropping. Neither my local

For (many) decades i have jumped through all the weight loss / insulin resistance ever changing "guidance" (healthcare hectoring ...without success for me). Turns out, I now discovered (over the last 3 months) what actually makes a positive difference for me: is following a lower (130 g per day) carbohydrate
