What to Do If Hypoglycemic And An Illness Occurs Posted: 06-27-06 11:58am
This has been bugging me and i've seen the
problem arise in different people's posts.
We need to work on ideas for what to do
with illnesses. One day, being curious
because my wife came down with what I
think was the flu for about a week, I
looked at various medicines. To my
horror I found all of them had either
sugar or artificial sweetener. I could
deal with having to take something with
artificial colorings in it, but sweetener?
We need even our medicines to taste
good? What is to be done?!!! The most
likely idea would be to replace medicine
with herbs, but even some "natural" cures
in liquid form or whatever actually have
sugar too! We need to work on a list of
illnesses that could happen and what to
take for them, even if it's a meal or
something that seems to help. This
would be of great benefit to everyone here
I think.

Hi,
i know what you mean....So many
medications have sugar, etc. I find if I
stay away from high carbs (sugar,
starches, junk food) I get sick much less
often and when I do, I don't get as sick,
which is a real bonus! There are many
remedies that don't involve otc drugs or
prescriptions. I don't even take aspirin
if I don't really have to and try to stay
away from medication and use the herbal or
natural cures.
What scares me is having a stomach flu
that doesn't allow me to eat and keep my
blood sugar up. I've had only a few
bouts and I would eat yogurt a few
teaspoons at a time or chicken soup that I
recommented to tygrbabi.
I'll be interest to hear recommendations
from others.
