what doctors have said       08/26/05 07:35 PM Edit Reply Quote jen1013 Reged: 05/06/05 Posts: 1322 Loc: the wabe I am talking about the diet ONLY. It really is very specific and isn't just low-fat with a fiber base. So I explained the diet with the SF vs. IF, the SF *before* IF, no HFCS, no carbonation, low-fat, no caffeine, no red meat, etc. etc. etc. They agreed about high-fiber but kept pushing brown rice, whole wheat bread, raw veggies, Metamucil, whatever. Stuff that would kill me. The low-fat part was slightly iffier but they agreed it wouldn't do anything but good. The rest of the stuff they thought was nuts. You know, like they thought eating dairy was OK as long as you weren't actually lactose intolerant. I will grant you that the new GI I went to did tell me to avoid artificial sweeteners. I about died in shock when he said that -- acknowledgement that what you ingest has an effect on the GI tract! (is it just me or does this look like a skull?) And no, my doctors never recommended specifically cheeseburgers and ice cream! They have all told me that since I am miserable anyway I should just eat what I want. So that was just an example of what stupid advice that was. I hate doctors. -------------------- jen "It's one of the most serious things that can possibly happen to one in a battle -- to get one's head cut off." -- LC Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
