Message to Canadian family.

Yes only too happy to help.

If you contact me direct I'll e-mail you with a quantity of information and recipes but more importantly with an ethos of how to cook just about any meal HFI friendly, when you get the hang of it

At 9 years old your child can be got interested in cooking.. OK sorry, the mess will be incredible (make it fun like mud pies ) but pretty soon your lad will enjoy cooking for himself and will become far more inventive and self reliant as a result!

As he gets used to the cooking ingredients he will learn what he can and cannot eat.

SO when he is out in the world he will recognise more ingredients that could catch him out if he was not used to cooking and different foods in general.

It is very difficult for a none HFI to cook HFI mostly its a confidence problem you don't want to "risk" it so you keep the food very simple and plain.. yes ring any bells.. ?

I should know I'm a parent too.

I believe cooking is an essential life skill for anyone with HFI I started at age 6 I think.. but I think I was mostly just making a mess at that age.. and I was good at it! You ask my mum..!

There is an added advantage .. I can cook non-HFI as well. I get pretty enthusiastic response for my Chocolate rum and almond cake, so maybe if you encourage him your lad might get good and cook mum Sunday lunch when he's a bit older?

If you join I can PM you or look me up under Skype
WAD2502 is my user name
or e-mail me via [e-mail]

Keep smiling..

PS No he will need carbs as well. A protein only diet will eventually to a deficiency problem, however many months of protein only diet is needed before it becomes a problem.

Canadian family....

There are other meats out there as well. Try venison, buffalo, pheasant, elk, duck, goat, or ostrich. Might give some other minerals and vitamins. And it opens up a little more food for him.

Where do you buy medical grade glucose from in more than a pill form amount?

Deb C sent me a link to a company selling power builder foods for people doing weight training..

www.nowfoods.com/Products/ProductsbyCategory/Category/076260.htm?cat=

It claims to be safe and Deb C thinks it is.. however I would treat it with very great caution!

Do you really really need Glucose?

I know the highs are great! but the crashes are also really bad by all accounts.

Surely its better to keep your blood sugar levels at a more even level by using carbs and Protein than getting a sudden "fix" of Glucose?

I would also note that by what I have seen on this site.. the people with the worst health problems are the people who use Glucose the most..

So the question is, and its a critical question I think, are the people with the worst health really needing glucose to help them survive or is the glucose causing the poor health, so they take more Glucose?

I think some Doctors or Statistician needs to look into this urgently.. any PHD students looking for a project out there?

Keep smiling.. as your liver recovers (and this will take time) so your world will open up!

Hi,

I have been buying bulk Dextrose from a Wine and Beer making store for over a year. We use it in place of regular sugar in all kinds of recipes. My husband makes great homemade french bread and oatmeal cookies with it. My kids have had no reactions from it. We even make a very nice vanilla ice cream with it. This dextrose is very safe. I would recommend it to anyone who needs to substitute out other sugars. It is less sweet than table sugar, so you can add a little more for the same taste or adjust your sweet tooth. This store is located in Shawnee, Kansas and they may ship to where you are. The staff know me when I go in for another supply of dextrose. One of the guys said there is another family that buys the dextrose for the same reason.

He, he, he, i am just still giggling from megans latest "sugar rush". i gave her some egg noodles and mackeral for supper, she did wolf down a large portion of noodles and OMG, half an hour after she went DOOLALLY........... Silly is not the word. It is so funny, who needs alcohol or drugs when they have HFI!!!!!!!!

Try keeping a straight face when she is being sooooo rude in front of her Grandad!!!!!!

So forget the glucose, just have a bowl of noodles.
