Welcome to proteins an low carb vegetables and limited fruits !

Welcome to my world 16 months ago borderline diabetes and today no longer a problem.

I have STRONG Irish roots! The potatoes will not go! Plus there is no glucose in potatoes, oatmeal, grits and rice. But the rest of your list sounds pretty accurate.

I think that you need to educate yourself better on the dangers you face.

I doubt very strongly that you are “glucose” intolerant. “Gluten”, maybe.

And that’s “Celiac” disease, not … whatever it was that you said. You can find these things better in google searches, too, if you know what it is that you’re really looking for.

But you might also look into the dangers in being pre-diabetic, and “insulin resistance”. If you have those other dietary issues, then limiting carbohydrates in general (that is, a low-carb, high-fat diet) might be more healthful to you. To all of us, actually, but maybe to you most of all right now.

My husband has Crohn’s disease and he’s found eating a high fibre diet helps. He eats a lot of legumes amongst other high fibre veggies. However, even the smallest quantity of something like gravy can lead to pain. He also finds if he eats say a fatty chop, he’ll suffer. So he carefully trims the fat off meat.

He also recommends a refrigerated, specialist probiotic developed for IBS.

I’d recommend keeping a diary in which you write down what you eat and what causes you problems. I know there are times when he eats something with no problem and then the next time, he has a reaction. Perhaps it’s a combination of foods or something like that.

You’re going to have to consume a very plain and simple diet, but that’s not a bad thing. Good luck with it.

Oh I messed up. I did mean gluten intolerance. My husband and I were talking about glucose as I was typing this. I’m so sorry! I meant gluten.

I do not have any of these but it would make sense (after reading what about Celiac disease causing Leaky gut) that a gluten allergy can cause a number of problems in your intestines. So he may be right there. If you are looking for a holistic way to improve your problem I read this link and found they suggest some decent ideas. I would maybe stay away from the colloidal silver. If it was me, I would also have the doctor check my TSH levels (for thyroid) and my ph levels. Both of these problems can bring about a host of illnesses by weakening everyday body functions. Best of luck. Also have them check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

My daughter has Ulcerative Colitis and the first step to lessening the symptoms was cutting out gluten. The good news is that there are lots of options, these days. The texture of things made with non-gluten flours is different, but they are there!
Check on reputable sites for lists of appropriate foods, and carry a list of gluten foods with you, so you can read ingredient labels in the market.
Gluten tends to seriously irritate already inflamed tissue, so avoiding it altogether may alleviate some distress. Definitely consult with a gastric-intestinal specialist about this.
Good luck with this, it sounds awful!
