8Patty's Journal, 20 February 2018

Thanks! I learned the hard way. Hee Hee! 

I admire your resolve. There is no way that lifestyle would work for me. Like the old saying goes...different strokes... keep on keeping on! 

There should be warnings on packaging just like with cigarettes!  

i learned the hard way too :/ 

I like that 8Patty. Warning labels on processed food. If we where immortal, it would be fun to have a bet on how many decades it will take before this happen. Seems like Keto Wisdom is taking on, and I am curious to see how Food Inc. will deal with it. 

If you try very hard you can find the sugar free versions. I did when I was on keto. In hindsight, if I need the antacid, I might as well benefit from a little sugar. 

This is pretty important information what it a diabetic took two seemly harmless antacids that 6 grams of sugar, plus the 6 grams of carbs that turn to sugar thats quite a sugar spike! 

That's really crazy, I use to eat theses things like candy before I changed jobs, that and Lay's potato chips. 

wow, Patty!! I never would have even thought of that! Thank you! 

Oh wow. This carbophobia has been taken to a new level. So it has 12 calories. NBD 

If you suffer from heart-burn/GERD or whatever it's called I've seen many people on YT who said that taking 1 to 2 TBSP of BRAGG's organic Apple Cider Vinegar can greatly help you because it's actually the lack of Acid in you that can cause that stuff so If it does actually help in regards to that, I'd say that's definitely better than that man-made synthetic stuff "Tums" I think it's 0g Carbs, 0g Calories, 0g Sugar. (Must dilute ACV with a little water. Don't drink straight)  

Wow! I would have never caught that! Thank you so much. I certainly will read all labels from now on. 

The 6 grams of carbs is the 6 g of sugar. They are not separate entities. Carbs = fiber + sugar (and other more carbs so the total might be higher.) Generally, I was told this by diabetes nutritionist, that if a food has fiber over 5 g every gram over subtracts 1 carb when totaling and to base insulin dosage that way. 

Amen sister amen....can we say will suffer with heartburn anyone..thanks for sharing sweetie;) 

Mix 1/2 tsp of baking soda with 6 oz of water, stir well and drink quickly. It tastes awful, but helps reduce heartburn without pills.  

My bs this morning 119! Since December waking has always been in the 70's A1 last week at doc's 4.7 I have never used Tum's I think the prednisone 20mg upset my stomach. These were George's now their in the trash! Thanks Phoenix 

This is so true! I dumped all of my supplements for sugar content!  

Yeah, I started my Keto while I had the flu, unfortunately, and cough medicine is loaded with sugar. Diabetic cough medicine tastes like a dog foot, so I just suffered. It was terrible!! I have gotten rid of all my antacids though, I have not had heart burn since starting this diet, which is rare for me, I was a 3-4 nights a week sufferer.  

I just use sodium bicarbonate has zero...http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/4994564  

it is also supposed to make our bodies more alkaline, there are many articles on changing our bodies acidity, to cure diseases such as cancer, and other.. I am still trying to figure all this out! If anyone has heard of kangan water, it basically does the same thing!
