Yes the surgery may allow you to eat the cookies, one thing though you probably would only be able to eat only one ounce at a meal and then you would be full, any thing after that would not be pleasant. Therefore it would take you all day to probably eat a whole box of cookies.
Even if you don't have it, if you have the genetic structure for it intestinal surgery could trigger it.
Dang!
I’m 50 plus years old and never knew I had somethin called a jejunum!
Another body part I gotta worry about!
:-(
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*BUMP*!
Wow, that’s great. I have a female friend who also used surgery to reduce her weight. She looks great and claims her diabetes is under control. She had previously struggled with an A1C in the 8’s.
I just snarf the pepperoni or a bit of cheese. My wife is always cooking pizza for the kids (20,24,27). I had a pretty good run staying away from the gluten. I could drink an iced cafe latte at Starbucks without a problem. Sometime in the last month I must have consumed something tainted with wheat. I'm lactose intolerant again. Annoying. I don't know how long it will take to recover.
Just out of curiousity....why check the Vitamin D level when we’re talking about diabetes/celiac.
thanks, bfl
Answer: Fat.
What change has there been to cause the epidemic of type 2 diabetes, cancer, and other degenerative diseases?
Answer: Low fat diets, high in polyunsaturated oils.
The mal-absorption caused by celiac causes vitamin D not be taken up by the intestine. Most people with celiac have abnormal/low D levels. And this can lead to a host of other problems.
That’s the Atkins Diet...and a smart specialist. The human body isn’t really meant to digest the stuff on the bad list, so it’s quite possible there is nothing really wrong with your husband at all. I hope it isn’t getting to the point where they start regularly prescribing surgery to keep Archer Daniels Midland in business.
This is very intriguing. I had a gastric bypass with a Roux-N-Y in 1992. At the time I was morbidly obese...but I had a blood pressure of 110/70 and my blood sugar was normal.
After losing 150 pounds I’m a “normal” size. My blood pressure is still 110/70 but I now lean towards hypoglycemic. If I don’t eat solid protein in the morning (peanut butter, eggs, meat, etc.) my sugar will tank.
Different parts of the small intestine absorb different nutrients. I take multivitamins and aside from skeletal and spinal irritants I’m pretty healthy. Diabetes does, however, run like wildfire in my family.
Three days to regrow the parts, but the lactose intolerance probably has something to do with prior injury in years past when you still ate bread in ignorance of what a poisonous substance it is.

Nothing a Junior Mint couldn’t handle.
10 minutes of streaking 1 day out of 10 should do it.
Very interesting, thanks for posting this.
We are humanity's answer for life in the next Ice Age. Our descendants will thrive on a diet heavy in reindeer, seal and whale. Theirs will huddle by the fire in caves near the equator and try to soften the infrequently abundant root crops so they do not starve.
This is the way it has been; this is the way it will be!
Seems to be much more prevalent among American Indians. I lost 2 good friends (brother & sister) to it while they were in their 30's. She looked like she was 70 years old before it was done w/ her. It can be a terrible thing.
Good to see this kind of 'out of the box' thinking. That's usually what it takes to make any real advances.
