    It can be, but it's certainly due to the carbs fucking up your sugar levels. I get the same sometimes. I only tend to eat bread when I'm pissed, so only a couple of times a week.

    Ahh! I was just sitting here trying to remember who it was and exactly what it was someone had told me about the whole bread/sugar level thing. It was you at the Irish Pub, mystery solved!

    You were talking about the GI ( glycemic index).

    The Glycemic Index

    You need to be checked for diabetes. I have been a diabetic for about ten years now. You will learn to follow your diet or suffer and spend much time in the hospital. Diabetes will kill you. Diabetes affects your vision, heart, kidneys directly. Don't wait and find out the hard way as I did. It's not fun.

    Indiegestion problems are usually due to smoking, drinking, coffee, highly seasoned food, and lack of exercise. Drinking eight glasses of water a day or more is necessary for proper digestion of your food.

    Ceburat, so indegestion is a syptom of diabetes? I used to have it bad, but not so much now. When eating, my food would pile up in my throat and not go down. Sometimes, I would choke and even throw up. I was having terrible hearbrun and acid in my thoat.

    I never thought about diabetes.

    I have lost 22 kilograms, been exerecising 6 days a week and also drinking alot of water. My problem has all but vanished. Once in a while, I still have trouble (once a month)

    Can it be related to diabetes?

    Where did I say that indegestion is a syptom of diabetes? I really don't know if it is or not.

    I made two posts. One about diabetes and the other about indegestion. Two different post, two different subjects.

    Done. I'm ok at the moment. Borderline hepatitis though.

    Drinking water makes the problem worse for me.

    With regard to the exercise thingy, I had a look round True Fitness yesterday. Very impressive, very expensive (28k/year). Loads of totty though. I will check out California Wow! as I think it is much cheaper.

    Isn't there a Fitness Thailand in Bangers? Very good, basic yet well-equipped gyms, not full of pretentious tossers who just go there just to be seen.

    If you find a decent pill mate let me know, have similar problems, but thought it was due to drinking beer every lunch and dinner time. Since I aint likely to kick the beer habit anytime soon, any recommendations will be appreciated.

    IMHO. Forget about fitness centers and spending a lot of money. Buy a good book on stretching and walking. You may not look like Mr. Universe after a period of time but you will be in top physical condition simply by walking.

    ^ Fitness centers ask for a lot of money, and the customer may not go a lot or even stop going for many reasons. Can waste money that way.

    MMTD: I didn't know someone could be "borderline hepatitus."

    Which Hep? B?

    This is why i avoid these kind of gyms, I used to spend all my time watching things bounce up and down rather than concentrating on the job at hand! It's a good way to spend 28k though!

    I agree. I stay in good shape and never set foot in a gym or use any machines. I run 40 minutes five or six mornings a week (walking works, too) and do another 20 minutes of crunches, hand weight work and stretching.

    CORE Performance - Celebrating the High Performance Life

    Amazon.com: Core Performance: The Revolutionary Workout Program to Transform Your Body and Your Life: Books: Mark Verstegen

    All I spend money on are running shoes and gear, hand weights and an exercise mat. (The book was a gift and a very welcome one.)

    Good advice this...especially for you guys who live in an apartment or condo...as I did for my first 10 years here...lived on the 5th floor and never took the lift...stairs are excellent aerobic exercise...



    good thread marmers: I often have this problem so will try some of the things mentioned here...

    Mebbe do trial takes on stuff, Marmite. Every fitness club has a trial membership, so you can see if it's what you want. Try some different foods, maybe even steamed veg...I just decided to go more Japanese to be healthier for myself, mostly coz I hate the taste of Canadian meat. I also hate the non taste of water so I add squirts of lemon, lime or orange to it and take alternative sips with my java. Now also drinking green tea with roasted rice kernels. And pickled plums (umeboshi) are really good for settling the stomach. Fek, I sound like a voodoo new-age vegan. I'm not! I always have vomiting sessions when I'm stressed. Yuk. Not good for the teeth, either.

    Definitely.

    Also, signing contracts with a gym, means you have to commute to and from the gym. Take time, and might affect your number of workouts and motivation to "go to the gym."

    In addition to what Buad Hai, said you can get a complete full body workout for you upper and lower by by using dumbells. More muscle burns more calories, and can reduce fat and lead to health like walking and jogging.

    A good site is: ExRx (Exercise Prescription) on the Net

    Click on "weight training" onthe left side. It has dumbell exercise for every mucles in the body with video example instructions. Stretching also.

    I will also try a ginger bomb every day for a couple of weeks. Basically, you drink a table spoon of liquidised ginger on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. This creates a very nasty environment for the bad bacteria. Then, in the evening I will drink a pint of broccoli juice as this does a similar thing.

    The more I read, the more I'm sure about having problems with that nasty bacteria.
