Re: Clueless Doctor       12/01/04 10:30 AM Edit Reply Quote mindyj Reged: 05/14/04 Posts: 494 Loc: Northern Virginia I agree the doctor has no clue what he's talking about! I have a few friends on atkins and I see how they eat - Lord would that kill me!!! I'm not sure what you asked before about fennel and soy, but here's my thoughts in general: Soy: Works great for some as a dairy substitute because it's versitile stuff - you can pretend that soy is almost anything if you try hard enough. But there are also some of us (myself included) who find themselves rather gassy if we eat too much of it! I also hear that soy cheese is good on sandwiches but not too good for melts. Fennel - If you have a heart condition there are some forms of fennel that may not be good for you because it can be derived from licorice root which is not recommended for people with heart problems. Other than that, I've heard no precautions on it. I use it in teas and in cooking - buy the bulbs or the seeds as fresh as possible. Lots of people say it helps alot with gass and bloating. good luck with the diet and hope you find a better doctor! By the way - where are you in Virginia? I live in Arlington but work in Washington, DC. I went to highschool in the Hampton Roads area. Min Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
