<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> This isn't a real intro, since I've posted before, but here goes anyway. My name is Pat. I am an insulin dependent diabetic and was diagnosed with Celiac Sprue at the end of March. I am on a low protein, low fat, high carbo diet. I was diagnosed because my doctor was trying to figure out why I was severely anemic. My dietician has maintained the same proportions of foods on my diet, so I'm getting bored with what few complex carbos I'm allowed. I've been eating lots of Indian food, both at restaurants and frozen entrees (for lunch). If you can find them, you might want to try Taj Gourmet frozen entrees as a convenience food. The vegetarian entrees I've found are all gluten free. (Not so for the meat dishes.) My cholesterol has been low (104-130) ever since I was placed on the low fat diet for diabetes. My doctors have been thrilled, although I adjusted my fats a little when it hit 104... Now I'm concerned that the nice low numbers were a side-effect of the Celiac Sprue. Any data on that? Will my cholesterol bounce up now that my small intestine is working again? I'm expecting some small bounce up just because my dietician added fats to my diet. I'd prefer to keep it down.
