Question 1

could changing the bread type from whole wheat bread to hummus bread help lower hba1c without changing my diabetic medicine?

Accepted Answer

: It depends on the size of the slice of bread as to how many carbohydrates are in each slice. If you check the package (if it is packaged bread) you can see if the hummus bread has more carbohydrates per slice which I think it usually does. Eating any bread is not ideal for people with diabetes. The goal in diabetes is always to eat as few carbohydrates as possible.

Question 2

why do i always feel sick after eating shredded wheat or bread?

Accepted Answer

Gluten intolerance: Gluten-sensitive enteropathy (celiac disease) is much less common than gluten intolerance. Like lactose intolerance, caffeine intolerance, sorbitol intolerance (with regard to needing to restrict each respective substance), people who are gluten intolerant do better to avoid gluten-containing foods. Only about 10% of the population are gluten intolerant. Can add gluten back to diet slowly &amp; assess

Question 3

help please! is eating bread (%100 whole wheat, whole grain) everyday bad for you?

Accepted Answer

No it is not: No it is not bad for you unless you over eat it.

Question 4

i just discover that my fasting glucose level is 250 mg/dl and the hba1c is 7.2. shall i totally stop eating carbohydrate even the whole wheat bread?

Accepted Answer

Healthy diet: As a newly diagnosed type 2 diabetic, you should definatly change your diet.  Decreased consumption of all carbohydrates, esp. Simple ones like sugar and other sweets, is important.  Completely giving up carbs would be difficult, but shifting to more complex ones (like whole wheat bread instead of white) will help control your sugars.  A good reference on low glycemic index foods would help too.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Gluten: You seem to be sensitive to gluten. Talk to your doc about being checked for celiac disease.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Scalp issue: Scalp fungal infections are rare, you may not have the right diagnosis, and it has nothing to do with your food intake, wheat or not. You need to have a proper diagnosis, see a dermatologist for advice.

Question 7

itchy flaky scalp and excessive hair loss after eating foods except ( whole wheat )  and the food allergies test (prick & rast ) was negative . why ?

Accepted Answer

Alopecia and allergy: It is unlikely that food allergy has anything to do with hair loss. Plus both prick and blood test for food are negative so you are unlikely to have ige mediated food allergy. Many things may cause hair loss including androgenic (male pattern) baldness, fungal infection, autoimmune disease like lupus, thyroid/pituitary dysfunction, iron-deficiency anemia... You should talk to your doctor again.

Question 8

i want 2 try low carb diet. but i like bread & pasta. i eat only whole wheat. how can i be low carb & still eat foods i enjoy?

Accepted Answer

Hard: To achieve.  You have to make lifestyle changes.  These are hard.  If you like pasta and bread and you want to eat low carbs, you have a difficult choice. Both are impossible.

Accepted Answer

You : You sound like you are really feeling miserable.  Obviously, you already know to drink alot of water. What I am going to suggest won't fix the problem, but may help with healing. If you aren't using probiotics  consider it - kefir, greek yogurt or in the form of supplements.

May be not: It should not cause diarrhea unless you have any conditions like irritable bowel syndrome or celiac disease.
