I have it too and I have been told that there is no special diet necessary. Apparently, it is quite common. Drink plenty of water, though, as a normal part of your day. Presumably a doctor has told you that you have Gilbert's, in which case (a) you have been tested to ensure that you have nothing more serious and (b) the prognosis for Gilbert's has been fully explained.

I have had this disease for over 30 years... it was a gift from my mom who has had it for 65+ years.  The only complication that i recently have is weight gain.(due to taking insulin which is a protein for so long)  This is not the worse disease to have.  When I was first diagnosed the only sugar free item was TAB soda..... so i did stand out alot being "different"\nPlease go to the doctors with your grand child and learn as much as possible.  If she eats 5 small meals a day... tests her blood 4 or more times, exercises, visits her dr. every 3 months.... she will live a long healthy life.  Make sure she stays away from splenda items... this is a sugar.  Eating right and exercising is not a curse... get the whole family to eat the diabetic diet.....and play together..... let her teach you how to test the blood...have her test your blood.. see who has the best #\nThere are support groups for parents and children..... talk to her dr about where and when..... so she won't feel so "different" \nYou are a great grand parent.  I understand your worry... the main thing is to accept her.... go out for a s/f ice cream one night and talk to her about things... but keep an eye on her blood sugar levels... that is the most important...... You will be fine....

I'm sure you know having been diagnosed with Chronic Pancreatitis that your diet is a main topic of the problem.  If you are eating ANY kind of fatty foods, you are simply pouring gasoline on that fire.  Also, have they given you any other tests such as an ERCP, Endoscope, Colonoscopy, Upper GI, Lower GI or maybe even an MRI?  I just recently spent 14 days in the hospital getting regular doses of pain and nausea medication and had all of these test ran.  Luckily I do not have Pancreatitis, but I do have Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which is also diet related (lack of fiber usually); also there is a disease known as Crones Disease that have the same type of symptoms.  I think that maybe you should seek medical attention from a well known Gastrointestinal specialist.  It could be more than your pancreas.

no, well probabnly not... let me tell you I have had loads of kidney stones nad had surgery twice once on each side and laser surgery to blow themup 4 times!!! diet, I was told, has nothing to do with the type of stones I produced, I made calcium stones, for uric acid stones maybe the tomatos are a bit acidy but even so you would need to eat a hell of a lot of them to have this affect... I had no abnormalities in either blood or body chemistry but well had loads of stones they tailed off and stopped after I reached about 40... some people have them early some later in life... glad I dont get them any more is all I can say

They are both good for you.  I don't think either one is better, but you should have an equal amount of each.  As far as changing your meals, I would talk to your doctor, let them know your daily diet and see what they say.  Be sure you follow your doctors advice.

This is definitely something a doctor should examine.\n\nIf you are doing the Atkin's / low-carb dance, you should consider stopping. This is a very common side effect of the diet.\n\nAlso, avoid rich foods and start drinking more water to flush the bile and uric acid out of your system. \n\nFrom my understanding, gout is generally caused by a dietary influences.

you could talk to a local dietitian for recommendations too, you could talk to your doctor as well, in general a healthy and balanced diet is good, good luck

Have you seen an Endocrinologist and Dietitian yet or just your General Practitioner?\n\nPlease don't go on any of those fad diets they can do more harm than good.  You really are going to have to do a overhaul on your lifestyle.  First of all you need to be checking you glucose levels regularly.  If before a meal your levels are high .. do not eat .. you will have to do something aerobic to break down the sugars .. walking should do the trick.  Just make healthy choices and keep you meals small.  Small meals are going to be key in maintaining tight control.  You can still eat fruits and small amount of bread and starches you just have to do it in moderation.  Please get with a dietitian as soon as possible they will get you on your way.

I am currently in med school, and my limited experience has shown that you can eat whatever you can tolerate. At the very worst you may end up with some fatty stools or pain. whatever you can tolerate you can have. just make sure it doesn't hurt the Diabetes or BP :)

Go see a medical doctor first!! Your MD will know why you have the goitre and will be able to advise you about medications, dietary and lifestyle changes. \n\nIf your MD is not helpful, DEFINITELY consult a registered dietician (NOT a 'nutritionist' or a non-accredited 'diet specialist').\n\nFor you information:\n\nOur thyroid uses Iodine to create important hormones (T3, T4). Be very careful about your Iodine intake (ie iodized salt, seafood). Since your thyroid is enlarged, it is like a sponge for Iodine and this can be dangerous if you increase Iodine intake too quickly.\n\nNext, limit your intake of soy and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, Brussels sprouts, etc). Scientific studies have demonstrated that these foods interfere with Iodine uptake by the thyroid. For the same reason, avoiding products with 'rapeseed' is important too. It is very, very difficult to find any foods or oils that contain rapeseed now so this shouldn't be a major concern. \n\nALSO, if you are a woman, **DO NOT become pregnant**; it puts a major stress on your body AND your children will have major birth defects (known as cretinism).\n\nHope this helps!\n:)

Talk to your doctor about getting a referral to a registered dietician or nutritionist -- someone who specializes in meal planning and diet management. Everyone's body is unique in the amount of nutrition needed on a daily basis. An expert in the area would be your best option for receiving safe, reliable information on this subject. \n\nSome basic pointers for the high blood sugar (hyperglycemic) eater:\n++ Avoid foods that are high in sugar content. Don't cut sugar out of your diet completely, but keep your intake to a minimum. Your body needs some sugar in order to have energy.\n++ Avoid foods that are high in carbohydrates. Carbs are metabolized as sugars and can cause hyperglycemia just like eating sugar. Avoid starchy foods as much as possible. Pasta and potatoes are the worst... with white bread coming in a close second. \n++ Keep your intake of fried, fatty foods to a minimum. High cholesterol goes hand in hand with diabetes.\n++ Keep an eye out for your sodium / salt intake. High blood pressure is another one of those pesky conditions that can come with diabetes. \n\nDon't make any drastic changes to your diet. Instead, settle for gradual decreases. \n\nAgain, talk to your doctor before making any diet changes. \n\nGood luck and best wishes...

Type 1 diabetics should be very careful about asking strangers how to eat. You should see a registered dietician or a diabetic specialist and find out exactly what and when you should eat. Be careful with this because you are at high risk for developing ketoacidosis, as im sure your aware if youve been type 1 for any length of time. My best advice would be to not take any nonmedical professionals advice on how to gain weight with such a fragile condition. Good luck.

I don't know what to say, as I'm not a doctor. You might want to see one if you've noticed that your brain function has dramatically decreased. \n\nThat said, you may want to monitor what you're eating, as some foods have adverse effects on some people. I know I cannot think at all when I've had foods which are high in simple sugars. Also take an inventory of your life, what's bothering you and what isn't. In some cases your brain isn't functioning properly on one issue because it's working overtime worrying about another. If you're worried about being thrown out of your house tomorrow, chances are you won't be writing any award winning novels in your spare time, even if you sit down and try to do so. If there are major issues which need to be taken care of now, then take care of them, pronto. Once those are taken care of, if there's no medical problem, you'll find that your brain function will dramatically increase.\n\nBest of luck to you.

Since your life is shortened when you have diabetes, you should not aim for being a normal diabetic, you should aim to cure your disease, in other words, be normal in blood sugar.  Type 2 can be cured.  My dad did it with the Pritikin diet.  It is drastic, but the disease's consequences are severe.  Allowing it to continue is keeping drug companies and your doctor in pools of money.  Get angry and get cured.  If you're going to drop oranges because they're carbs, make sure you consume a variety of other fruits including tomatoes.  Until your blood sugar drops to normal levels, cut out those starches that are made without fiber like white rice, potatoes, white bread and batter-fried foods.  Who wants to be addicted to drugs for 40 years, and then die (or get crippled) early anyway?
