@mspaminreno I have "followed" the channels you mentioned on YT and will check those out later today. As for trying to get friends and relatives to understand what we are going through.....they just don't care! All have the attitude that, if it doesn't affect them, why take the time to understand it?

As for ingesting enough protein, I am already a committed ketovore....eating very low carb, high protein, moderate fat meals. I do this to try and lose some of the weight I've gained as a result of LC. I am one of the "rare" victims where instead of losing my appetite from LC ......I am actually hungry ALL the time! It seems the LC affects the hypothalamus gland....which affects the pituitary gland....which regulates the hunger hormones released in the body. My body doesn't know when its full and should stop eating!

It's just such a vicious cycle of trial and error to figure out how to live with this mess. I'm going to be a crazy scientist by the time I learn all there is to know! LOL

Blessings to you all. ❤
