  • Pretty easy once you find your particular intolerances or a workable solution. The FODMAP table from the paleo mom website is a good example. http://www.thepaleomom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/FODMAP-Table.jpg
  • Try out the free week trial and see how you feel about it. Then try a few free sessions at other gyms (CrossFit gyms, running clubs, YMCA, etc.). Pick the one that feels right to you.
  • Crohn's, UC, peptic ulcers
  • Some meal suggestions 1) Rice and beans 2) Cottage cheese, fresh fruit, and nuts 3) Lots of slow cooker recipes 4) Breakfast for dinner ... seriously, pancakes, omelets, quiches, overnight oatmeal, etc.
  • Eat more peanut butter, nut butters, nuts.
  • I would date, flirt, etc., you in a heartbeat. Gotta remember keep the posts g-rated for the kiddies, hehe. o:)
  • I use Equal. I avoid anything with sugar alcohol in it, so Stevia is out for me.
  • If a calorie IS NOT a calorie, then I would suggest seeing a doctor.
  • Good carbs, bad carbs are indicative of an eating disorders if taking to the extreme. No food is bad food. There is no perfect diet or perfect food or perfect formula to follow. I agree with your statement ... eat sensibly. For some, it's low carbing, for other's it's high carbing. For those of us with medical conditions,…
  • If it fits in your macro. Calorie in, calorie out. Eat less than what you need, you drop weight. Eat more than what you need, you gain weight. There is no magic formula or diet.
  • Don't stress it. Just consider it a blip on the radar.
  • Hopefully you are not located in TN, where the Middle Tennessee Dr Pepper Bottling distribution center is located. Man, everytime I visit my brother during the 4th of July, the Dr. Pepper plant gives out unlimited drinks. Talk about adding gasoline to a fire.

  • I'll recommend like the other posters and go see a GI. I was having issues with raw vegetables (but not cooked), fruits (like strawberries, grapes, etc.), popcorn, coffee, sodas, and a whole slew of other foods. Multiple test ran and two opinions from different GI obtained. 1st GI stated I had a mild case of Crohn's. 2nd…
  • I believe you ment to imply, make sure your protein is 2.4g per kg of mass (3 x RDA), which may or may not be 40%. This is what the publication is stating.
  • You are going to find a wide range of suggestions. 1.8g and 2.0g per kg are the typical recommendations. 3.0 and 4.0 are extremes typically promoted by the steroid users. Hell, I am on T. Cypionate and I rarely go above 2.0 g. 1 g per kg of weight <--- Minimal amount 1.8 g per kg of weight <--- Assumes 20% body fat 2.0 g…

  • If you are concerned about too much protein, ask your doctor to run a complete blood panel on you. It will show you how your kidneys are functioning and whether the amount of protein is too much. From Wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_starvation "It has been observed that the human liver cannot safely…
  • Sunwarrior - Warrior Blend for general purpose. Nutribiotic rice protein for baking.
  • Any lifestyle which reduces or eliminates refined grains (not whole grains), added sugar (sugar, HFCS, and other refined sugars, not sugar found in natural sources like fruits) is, generally, viewed as a good move for optimal health. For some, especially type A personalities, Paleo is a great lifestyle. At the end of the…

  • Vegetarians eat eggs ... ^_^ And milk, cheese, greek yogurt, protein powder, nuts, lentils, legumes, whole grains, tempeh, tofu, nut butter.
  • I have reactive hypoglycemia, hypogonadism (low T), and at one point labelled with Crohn's (though the latter is under review as another GI is questioning the diagnose), so I feel I can relate. With reactive hypo, simple sugars will send my body into a roller coaster ... highs and lows. This is not a fun experience. The…
  • Good luck. No food is bad food. Calories in, calories out ... is the key to weight lost. Finding something which works for you and you can keep doing is the key to keeping the weight off.
  • While I agree with talking to his doctor and seeing what the doc recommends. In my case my GI gave me the statement, just find what works, Crohn's is such a personal disease. Even the nurses were of no help. So I can empathize with the OP's plight to search something which will help her bf.
  • I have been diagnosed with Crohn's, but getting a 2nd opinion for verification because Flagyl seems to have cured me of my trigger foods. What has helped me, besides TRT (T. cyp.), was lots of bananas, protein (eggs, meat, etc.), olive oil, coconut oil, nut butters (natural peanut butter as anything with sugar set me off),…
  • I feel your pain, literally. Popcorn, raw vegetables, strawberries, vinegar products, diet coke, would cause me to experience gut issues. Several thousands dollars later, hundreds of test run, being blown off by one GI, I get diagnosed with Hypogonadism, Reactive Hypo, possible Cushing's, and Crohn's. I felt like crap…
  • What color are the bananas you are eating? I can eat only bananas with black spots on them (higher glucose contents). If still green, could be an issue with the resistance starch, fructan, or other GI issues. Try cooking them a little and see if that helps.
