My son Luke was officially diagnosed at age 4, but his liver function and liver size did not return to normal for almost 18 months. After 12 months, the doctor told us that we had probably permanently damaged his liver. The liver was still measuring very large, liver function still elevated, and the doctor believed we had created scar tissue that would not go away. Then at 18 months, the doc was incredulous- the liver measured normal and the blood tests came back normal as well. It takes a long time and a strictly monitored diet, but it was a happy ending for us.

hey everybody, I was just researching about people with hfi and what they eat because at the moment I am doing a personal project. I don't know if you have that in the states as well but it's a project in which I can choose to research and do whatever I want. Now, I have decided to do a HFI cookbook website and I had actually wanted to know what other people with HFI eat to compare to myself. Now seeing as most of the things that you eat I cannot have it makes it sort of difficult but while I am at it I might as well give you some tips of my own. By the way if any of you have any good tips or favorite recipes just tell me for I'd be delighted to include them  As I was saying, green beans, potatoes, any kind of nuts, onions, garlic I cannot have. With the bread you have to definately watch out carefully because I get really sick if I have a few bites of toast bread unless it has under 0.2g of sugar/ 100g so it is best to go to a healthy supermarket and get the fresh bread or the loafs. And with cold cuts I advise you to watch out carefully as well cause they can contain a lot of sugar (e.g. ham) to give it the pinkish color otherwise it would be grey. In that case nobody would buy ham anymore. I have never had a problem with milk products but my mother is extremely keen on just buying the organic foods. In Switzerland, I do not have the problem of the dairy products but here hardly any yoghurts or whatever have sugar in them. When I visited the states, I really had to watch out that there was absolutly no added fructose or sucrose sugar but the string cheeses and cheddar cheeses are definately recomendable. With vinegar again balsamico is the worst!!!! I can only have herbal or rice vinegar. And don't even start with taking any soft drinks, in my short life of 15 years I only drink water, milk and coffee (hardly any tee- again a lot of sugar) and no artificial sugar otherwise it completly ruins the taste buds!!! I can taste sugar out of every food because my mom recognized that I had this from an early age on. When I go into a sweet bakery shop I nearly have to throw up due to the sweet smell. And to make waffles, I wouldn't take any mixture but do it from the beginning because its extremely easy. My best friend's grandmother made a recipe with no sugar at all and the waffles are amazing (but I suggest to use a waffle cooker thing): 1.5 cups of flour 2 tablespoons of bakingpowder 3.5 ounces of melted butter 0.9 cups milk and 0.9 cups of water I had to convert all of these numbers which is why I'm not quite sure if it is all in the correct measurements...  If you love to bake scones are extremely good without sugar but with butter and it only takes me 15 mintues to make them and 10 mintues to bake them at approx. 450°F (in order of adding): 8.8 ounces of flour with bakingsoda/ powder 2.1 ounces of butter 0.6 cups of buttermilk/ milk 1 prise of salt I guess I could probably go on and on about the different recipes which I "create" by adding completly random ingredients into the pan and then adding it to the pasta or rice. I also eat A LOT of cheese but that's probably just because I am swiss, haha. So I hope I'll hear from everybody soon and I also hope that what I wrote helped you guys out there. Have a great day. xx |

Welcome to the site SLS. Please register then we can message you through the forum.  I for one am very pleased your mother is a switched on lady.. Do they not have tea available in Switzerland? I live on tea mostly, occasional Coffee and water.. Fizzy and still. Yes you sound like you cook in a similar fashion to me.. Throw a lot of food in the pan stir fry it and eat! SlS I think you will get a better response if you re post this request in the recipes section.. OK? |
