Accepted Answer

Talk to your Dr.: These are all great questions for your prescribing Dr. They know your complete history and what meds you have taken in the past with any significant side effects. They can evaluate the appropriate med for use in this specific set of circumstances. Talk to your prescribing Dr.

Question 2

male 30, osteoporosis. t- score at left femur neck is -2.5 with bmd at 0.747 g/cm2. can it be cured? on cal, vit d3 and ibandronic acid medication.

Accepted Answer

Wow: that is quite unusually bad. Congenital bone problems (familial ricketts) or liver or kidney disease, abnormality of minerals abnormal hormones (hyperparathyroidism) or other secondary cause would be reasonable to look into. In which case, yes, could be cured.

Question 3

is the rate at which you burn calories dependent on how fast your heart beats, will medication that makes your heart rate increase burn more calories?

Accepted Answer

Not dependent on hr: not a bit no. For that matter diet pills that induce significant weight loss do not significantly raise metabolism. ( I try for 1000 calories out per day; studies showing m a y b e a tenth of that with drug induced metabolic effects are what I mean by NOT significant).
but changing thoughts/ behaviors help.

Question 5

i've heard of a medication for babies it's a natural medicine called bebe cal it actually calms your baby to sleep was just interested if any dr knows?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: This medication has Diphenhydramine (benadryl), Chloral Hydrate (a strong sedative) and belladona (a poison)! none of these are recommended for parents to give to their babies! just because a medication is labeled as "natural" does not make it safe, especially for kids! many meds do not go through the fda and have never been tested on children. Do not use this without your doctor's advice.

Question 6

blood sugar drop down to 54 mg/dl every 3 hours. enough eaten (at least 700 cal. every meal). daily. symptomatic. no medication.  insulinoma likely?

Accepted Answer

Insulinoma: It is very rare. How are you checking your glucose and has the device been recently calibrated?  Not certain what you mean by every 3 hrs? 3 hrs after eating or after fasting.

Question 7

please suggest what foods are high on calories?

Accepted Answer

Any food with a : High fat content.

Question 8

will i gain weight on 600 calories a day?

Accepted Answer

That could happen: It is far too few calories.  If you eat this small an amount regularly - your metabolic rate will likely begin to drop.

Question 9

can i survive on a deit of 500 calories a day?

Accepted Answer

No: Let me rephrase that:  not for long.  Extreme low calorie diets should only be attempted under direct physician supervision with an experienced bariatric practitioner.

Question 10

how many calories should you consume on a daily basis?

Accepted Answer

We are not machines: And we do not possess "fuel gauges". If we eat only god made food to satiety we do not need to count calories. All forms of "junk" food tend to increase appetite. It shows how artificial our society has become.
