Guest guest Posted November 7, 2004 Report Share Posted November 7, 2004 My bowel movements are once or twice a day and since I take omega-3 fish oil to keep my triglycerides down, I don't have any problems :^) I'm still on my beta blockers, which raise my triglycerides, and my ace inhibitor. I take the fish oil, my metformin to control the PCOS and keep my blood clotting risk lower, and a multi vitamin to keep up with vitamins I might be missing. I'm on Phase 2 of the South Beach Diet, which has been a God send for me, since I feel so much better, healthier and have a lot more energy. I was having problems with blood sugar swings during the day from the carbs I was eating, and now that my carbs are the healthy kind my sugar doesn't swing and encourage more eating and rapid sugar drops. I eat chicken, beef and fish, the lower fat versions most of the time, plenty of veggies (mostly the low carb ones, in other words I watch my corn, peas and carrots but I do eat them sometimes), I have the lower sugar fruits like apples and grapes. I eat only NO white flour breads except for a special treat once in awhile, and since I can't have any artificial sweeteners I do have sugar once in awhile-with plenty of protein to balance it out and keep my blood sugar from rising rapidly. I have been told that I can never use birth control or take hormone replacement therapy, since anything that raises my estrogen raises my risk of blood clots. That's about the only restriction...oh, and I can't take conventional therapies for preventing migraines because they contrict the blood vessels, and with my blood clotting issues I run the risk of a stroke. It's pretty embarrassing, talking about all my restrictions when I am a strong woman of farm stock....but I want to deal with the issues head on and stay healthy and be an old woman one day! Thanks!
