Reply #29: Well that's crazy [View All]

My husband's doctor was very clear about complex carbs and reducing fat, and that low-carb diets wouldn't be enough. They weren't either because my husband tried it and I think it made it worse. I have a nurse practitioner, who I'm going to have to switch from because she recommended the low-carb, and she also recommended a diuretic when I told her I thought my thyroid dose wasn't right because I was swelling again. :crazy: I've known some pretty savvy nurses, but jeezo what a stupid thing to say. I thought I would get over it, but it's just one thing too many. And can't your friend have a whole grain rice and wild rice, she should be able to come up with some good dishes and still eat some rice.
