Question 1

can you give me suggestions if i eat to much food at night. how do i stop?

Accepted Answer

Try to find another: Distraction other than food.  Also, if you must snack try to find snacks that are not so calorically dense or more filling.   Often lean proteins can fit the bill but everyone is a bit different.  But the biggest intervention, is trying to recognize what seems to drive your nighttime hunger.  If you can identify that stressor and address it, this may help all.

Question 2

i don't eat much, if any, gassy foods so why am i so gassy?

Accepted Answer

Few possibilities...: Gas can certainly be the aggravated by our food choices.  Many components of our foods including some sugars e.g. Disaccharides, oligodisaccharides are difficult to digest and therefore get broken down by bacterial flora in our guts producing gas.  See ibsfree.Net for more diet advice.Other considerations include celiac disease - wheat protein intolerance or small intestinal bacterial overgrowth.

Question 7

why do doctors say don't eat so much white grain food?

Accepted Answer

Moderation: White grains (white rice, white bread, white pasta, etc.) are simple carbohydrates. This type of carbohydrate, when digested, turns into sugar quickly. This rise in blood sugar will cause a corresponding rise in one's Insulin level. The rise in Insulin can result in hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar symptoms of feeling sluggish, tired, shaky, and weak. Moderation is best.

Question 8

what will happen if a teenage girl doesn't eat food normally?

Accepted Answer

Wonder what you mean: Your question has me asking for more information. Are you worried that you aren't getting enough calcium and your bones will suffer? Are you concerned because someone is telling you you aren't eating well? Are you restricting the amount of food you eat or getting rid of it through vomiting or laxatives? These problems require careful evaluation. Talk to your primary doctor about your concerns now.

Question 9

what happens if you accidentally eat food with live worms in it?

Accepted Answer

Hopefully nothing: Besides sounding gross, probably nothing. It would be nice to  know what kind of worms as there are some that can be un-beneficial.

Question 10

2mo old doesn't eat good or much food why? 2oz if that at each feeding

Accepted Answer

Poor eater: That's not enough nutrition for a 2 mo baby. Babies continue to gain weight despite having acid reflux. Is your baby vomiting also? Perhaps he may have pyloric stenosis. If a girl, poor feeding is one of the signs of a UTI (urinary tract infection) and one of the metabolic diseases. It looks like your baby needs more detailed evaluation. Get a second opinion.
