<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> First a big thank you to all those who replied.I have been waiting for more info from an M.D. who replied and will send more info if more comes in.I would also like to use this to reply to the recent discussion on weight gain,and wonder if many who are gaining weight could benefit from the Hyperinsulinemia plan.I am including an on-line source of info which includes a test for those who asked,www.toon.org/~cadis/ this will help explain and for those who are not sure if they have it or not,the test will help. From the replies;.Their was info that hyperinsulinemia may be the precursor to Diabetes and there has been a connection between that and C.D.Also they are on the same genetic strand ,apparently.Some people thought they may well have both,and some have and find glutamine and Tyrosine to be helpful,and Glutamine is also apparently used in carbohydrate metabolism.IAs I had doubled in weight in 4 years,and just as it was so hard to find out why I was so underweight,it became so difficult to understand the swing without a change in the amount I was eating.I feel I should add that often the body will initially due to some trigger start gaining weight due to too much insulin being released without eating any more or differently than normal,and without the urge to do so.Of course this doesn't work for everyone.Hope this helps and thanks for all the encouragement,Tracy [log in to unmask]
