Sue me. I’m also partial to wheat, and though I don’t have celiac disease – unlike 3 million other Americans – my body (in particular, my skin) reacts very badly to gluten, and has for years. This seriously bums me out, but also makes me determined to find foods that taste good (I mean really good, not soggy cardboard good) without the benefit of gluten. Blisstree’s resident Baker Chick recently went on a hunt for delish gluten-free pastas and frozen Mexican meals, and I just did a similar taste test with frozen pizzas. (All three are topped with real cheese, so obviously aren’t suitable for the lactose-intolerant crowd.) Oh, and if you’re a DIY kind of person, check out this raw, gluten-free pizza crust recipe from our resident (and hot) che...

Poor diet and lack of exercise has led to an epidemic among children in which childhood obesity has increased by three times over the past 30 years. One in three children are overweight or obese, and the country spends $150 billion each year to treat conditions related to obesity. Let’s face it – our kids are fat! Overweight Kid Being overweight as a child can lead to the development of high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, orthopedic problems, depression, and a number of other diseases and ailments. Overweight adolescents have a 70% chance of becoming overweight or obese adults. Recently, First Lady Michelle Obama has been leading a nationwide campaign called “Let’s Move”...

If breast milk is liquid gold, then frozen breast milk must be solid gold! At least that’s what the photographer “Editor B” on flickr.com called it! Pumping for an extended length of time (such as after returning to work) is a commitment and I can certainly see why Editor B would want to document the result of her efforts!

This afflicts an estimated 1 percent of men, according to the National Institutes of Health. The injectable drug, known as Xiaflex, is also being investigated to treat Dupuytren’s contracture, which is the growth of collagen in the palm of the hand impairs the use of the fingers and is found in an estimated an 3 percent of whites, often of Northern European ancestry. The drug is also being tested for Frozen Shoulder syndrome, or Adhesive Capsulitis (see statement). (Source: Pharmal...

There’s nothing quite like it—those rhythmic twirpings that say, “The food is microwaved.” Charlie having become quite proficient at making his own afterschool snacks thanks to this modern technological innovation (and the phenomenon of frozen food), it’s a sound heard often at out place around 3pm, every weekday. Imagine the response to hearing 49 microwaves set to play Jingle Bells—-now that’s some holiday cheer.

Three studies presented to a US fertility conference found frozen embryo babies were less likely to be premature and under weight. Now on a related note, I can say that cryopreserved durians are also just as good if not better than fresh ones. I visit my parents in Penang regularly and they have durians all year round. This is because they keep them frozen!

At first glance, this seems such a simple question; however, the more I think about this, and the more I investigate, I am realizing that there is not a clear answer. There clearly has not been a consensus amongst the legal and scientific communities. Recently the Los Angeles Times examined the issues surrounding leftover frozen embryos. Many couples in the United States with frozen embryos leftover from fertility treatments are “finding themselves ensnared in a debate about when life begins”. These couples have three choices: discard them, donate them to research or donate them to another couple for potential pregnancy. There are initiatives in several states that seek to protect embryos. One of these initiatives defines a fertilized egg as ...

Take a container of sugar free cool whip- either regular or chocolate flavor- and freeze it. Take a small scoop and enjoy at any point in your day. It is sugar free and low carb- as well as yummy! It has less carbs then ice cream or frozen yogurt- go ahead and look for yourself. I hope you enjoy!

Kibbe, MD, MBA Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. Like most Americans, Goldilocks had concerns about achieving just the right amount of data liquidity for her personal health information (PHI). Until today Goldilocks felt between a rock and a hard place: "I want my PHI to be appropriately liquid — just the right viscosity. My PHI should be viscous enough to flow to my trusted health care providers to use to improve my health and health care. “Today my PHI is frozen and inaccessible — it’s too cold. “But I’m worried about the other extreme — the risks of using a personal health record (PHR). The privacy/security advocates tell me that I should be concerned about my PHI being too hot — like ... e-CareManagement blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=1546873 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 00:28:20 +0100 1546873 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=918119&cid=t_189167_134_f&fid=36049&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.b5media.com%2F%7Er%2Fb5media%2FDiabetesNotes%2F%7E3%2F163705455%2F Well good morning and happy October 1st! Here in the States it is fall and that means changing trees, cooler temperatures and the pumpkin patch. This is my favorite season. I love the darker evenings, open windows and orange and red tree tops. It is so pretty! With fall comes thoughts of jackets and the indoors. Not for me though. I am bizarre in that way, I tend to lose weight over the fall and winter months and be much more structured with my diet and exercise. Go figure… I want to share with you a slow cooker recipe that is very yummy, reminds me of the fall season and is diabetic friendly. Chicken and veggies in a pot 1 large pack of boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 cups baby carrots 1 cup sliced celery 1 cup sliced white onions 2 cups chicken broth, I use fat free, low sodiu...

Years ago when I posted a question on the old alt.support.diabetes newsgroup about the events leading up to a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, I heard from several people who said that their blood sugars, which had been marginal before a cortisone treatment, became fully diabetic afterwards. It was only then that I connected my own diabetes diagnosis with the ten day long course of prednisone I'd been given the previous year and and realized that it was only a...

And once again in no way am I judging or belittling, but there are too many overweight children. We had our first day of the school around my neck of the woods today, so I had to take my middle daughter to school for the first part of the day. I was shocked by how many “obese” kids there were. I am not taking about big, strong, athletic, tall children, but very chunky, sweaty and fat kids. I understand to a certain degree that genetics comes in to play. My hubby is well over 6′5″ and I am 5′9″ so our kids are tall, strong girls, but they are not jiggly and out of breath from walking a flight of stairs. And I also get that some families have to eat what they can afford which means pre packaged foods, sugar filled...
