Anyone familiar with Glycogen Storage disease?

---

I need some information about GSD. My son was not formally diagnosed with the disease but had all the signs. I was also wondering if any one knows of a person having this condition and also having a bone disorder that is linked to GSD. Thanks.
Considering the many different types of conditions that fall under the name glycogen storage disease, and the variety of different symptoms (several of them are fatal), you should not try to diagnose him yourself but seek advise from a real doctor.  (+ info)

since earlier i asked a question that my six months child has a glycogen storage disorder and has type 1a.?

---

what about life of the child pl answer and what to do as we did liver biopsy.
Glycogen Storage Disorder (GSD) type 1a.(von Gierke disease) is metabolic disorder as result of Glucose-6-phosphotase enzyme deficiency in Liver and Kidneys.It is Autosomal recessive Gentic disorder wherein the glycogen(stored in Liver) is not effectively converted to glucose. This results in fall in blood sugar. Strict
Diet therapy can be effective in reducing the enlargement of liver and to some extent preventing the complications. As regards diet and medical treatment,the surgical treatment feasibilty and about the life of the child you please consult the Hepatologist (liver specialist) or Gastroenterologist because the results vary from individual to individual.  (+ info)

What recipes to use: heart disease, low sodium, and type II diabetes?

---

my father recently suffered his 4th heart attack and has went through with the open heart durgery double bypass. In the meantime we have learned he is also a type II diabeteic. If anyone knows any reciepes or a great site to get them for all the issues listed above it would greatly be appreciated. I have tried the main site for heart disease and type II diabetes, I did find recipes but for each problem individually. I would love to help out my dad as much as possible since he is getting tired of eating the same things over and over. I need some creativity too if at all possible. Thank you for your help.
Sorry this should be in the cooking-recipe category
Your in the right category. I think the real answer is that he is only allowed to have air and water as long as it's not much water and take it easy on the air.

The food thing is difficult. One of my favorite jokes is that I went through the entire Betty Crocker cookbook, crossed off everything I was not allowed to eat and all I was left with was cauliflower.



I'm not diabetic but I have a diabetic cook book " Cooking for Diabetics"Rutlege Hill Press 1989. I do have serious heart problems. On a quick review of the book, it appears that it's pretty good for heart. They specify salt substitutes in places, list sodium content of recipes and call for egg substitutes. A diabetic diet is basically a low fat, low carb diet with controlled calories consistent with heart health.

There are a couple of exceptions. He is probably taking Warfarin, cumiden or some other " blood thinner". These medications slow the clotting of blood and do drive some changes in diet. If you read the literature, it basically tells you not to eat anything green. That is because green leafy foods are high in vitamin K which counteracts the blood thinner. This guidance is poor to say the least. They perform monthly blood tests to check the time it takes the blood to clot and adjust the dosage accordingly. The key is to eat a consistent amount of green vegetables, not eliminate them. I for example nearly always eat a small salad at lunch and my dose of warfarin has not changed for a year and a half but if you read the literature it says - don't eat lettuce.

One thing he should not eat if he is taking a statin ( cholesterol medication) is grapefruit. There is something in grapefruit that causes the liver not to metabolize the medication resulting in much higher blood levels of the drug. I read one study that indicated the levels rose 15 times. People have died from this.

The key is moderation in all things and in the words of my cardiologist "No pizza for you!"

Edit
I attached a listing of low sodium recipes. They are not for diabetes but it could give you some ideas.  (+ info)

Is a person with type I diabetes, heart disease and bipolar II disable?

---

If you are capable of working try to find something you like to do.There are all sorts of things that could help you contribute to the world and not just stay at home waiting for your check.

People who work even for a small wage have more friends, more confidence, more money and live longer.

Please don't try to be yet another leach on society. There are people out there with artificial legs running marathons, people with Down's Syndrome bagging groceries, and blind people teaching college. If you want a better life set your mind to it and you can find a way.

Rise above it friend!  (+ info)

Could somebody tell me where to find statistics on obesity and type II diabetes?

---

I am curious about the health risk of obesity and I wonder if anybody could point me in the general direction of stats that specifically monitor coronary heart disease in obese individuals without a family history. Secondly I am also interested in the number of individuals suffering severe health consequences as a result of Diabetes Type II (by serious I mean : amputations, strokes, blindness). PLEASE NOTHING ANECDOTAL
I would start by looking at these sites:
http://nhlbi.nih.gov

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/obesity/DS00314

http://www.diabetes.org/about-diabetes.jsp

Is Grave's Disease a type II or type III hypersensitivity?

---

the answer to your question is neither. Grave's disease is not an allergic reaction, it is an autoimmune condition. this is where the body produces antibodies that bind to the thyroid gland in place of the hormone TSH and forces the thyroid to continue to produce thyroxin.  (+ info)

Type II and exercise with heart disease...?

---

yikes. Ok.... you guys are the best. I understand I have to incorporate exercise into my daily routine. I am a slug. I am 5' tall, weigh 110 lbs. so not overweight. BUT, I also have some pretty severe heart disease. (valves and defib). SO, can I do something like, yoga or tai chi?? How about ballet barre workout? That works the muscles, without being aerobic.

Thanks to you guys, I will sleep tonight.
Walking is my personal favorite, because I can adjust my pace according to how I feel at the time. If you have a treadmill, that would make it easier.

Anything you feel comfortable with, and can stick to, is the best. For the maximum benefit, it should be at least once a day and preferably for at least twenty minutes duration.  (+ info)
