This mixture in plant products makes natural sugars to be digested slowly and enter your blood stream relatively slowly. When you become diabetic, you can no longer handle a flood of refined sugar so fiber added to anything high glycemic (means it digests quickly) to add high sugar to the blood stream, can be slowed and diluted by fiber added to the input.
One of the best fiber additions is Pysyllium seeds.Normally you obtain pysyllium husks, but always chose pysyllium seeds when available. Most people recognize pysyllium as Metamucil, a trade name that unfortunately for diabetics is packaged with a sweetener to make it more palatable.
This includes Citrocell, Fiber cell, also sweetened and many other readily available fibers of this type.
Studies show that taking a spoonful of pysyllium in a glass of water lowers blood sugar on the following meal levels at 20% or more lower.
Pysillium is resistant to fermentation, gas, lower triglycerides, lower cholesterol and LDL.
Sugar feeds the bad bacteria in your gut.This fiber makes you regular and when you get your fiber doubled and tripled it will still be far below what indigenous people and cave man processed.
Our fiber graph does more to explain why modern man food causes diabetes- than any lengthy written explanation.
Your early man body processed a lot of fiber slowly and developed a small amount of sugar into the blood stream.
Modern man digest high sugar food with almost no fiber that floods the blood streams with sugar in a rush.In the meantime his digestive system is so sluggish with so little fiber sometimes that it is two or three days between passing stools.
This results in constipation and fermentation and other gastro problems that regular addition of pysyllium Fiber 2 or 3 times a day before meals will fix.
Millers Wheat bran (not a brand name but a category of fiber, about $1 worth and will last a month) is an inexpensive fiber addition that can be added to almost everything you eat. I personally make a breakfast cereal mixture (see formula elsewhere) that can also be used to add fiber (with a converted cinnamon shaker) to almost anything you eat.
Mixing fiber with small amount of fruit or something that normally digest to sugar too fast is slowed down and made useable for a diabetic by the addition of fiber, this is called "blending".Some do the same thing with meat, since meat digest very slowly.
You can buy different brands of pysyllium husks at Walgreen's that do not contain sugar. Health food stores or organic grocery's often have it in the bulk very inexpensive that way (save 90%) and may even have the seeds, Millers Wheat bran (not trade name) is very inexpensive and is left over after removing the flour from wheat, it should be or no problem for celic people but you should check with a better authority on that subject.
We have looked at juicing and fiber. Cooking releases calories (sugar) in fruits and vegetables (too fast for some like carrots) but the heat destroys nutrients and makes them readily available but removes the fiber. Thus many vegetables such as carrots can not be used in a juicer (or cooking) by a diabetic because it makes too much sugar available for digestion too fast.
We are looking into using a blender to make the entire elements of a vegetables available but retaining the fiber which is badly needed, in general, not just to slow down the digestion of now readily available sugar and nutrients.
More of this in future issues.
Diabetes, Fiber and Constipation Fiber Fixes What Ails You
High blood sugar common in most people, can bring on constipation because - for the body to save itself from high blood sugar damage (sticking up the blood in your veins and circulation), it desperately tries to come up with enough water to urinate (pee) out the extra sugar.
Even though it makes you extra thirsty, you still fail to drink enough water so it pulls it out of your bowel. Drying all things out and causes constipation. You need to learn to drink extra water and add extra fiber to hold moisture in your colon.Fiber is actually a type of carbohydrate but is a part of a plant your body cannot digest, and since not digested, contributes No calories.
2 kinds of Fiber, Water Soluble and Insoluble
Insoluble- speed passage of food and good for constipation, does not dissolve in water, such as wheat bran and some fruits and vegetables.
Soluble fiber is like oat bran, pysillium, some fruits and vegetables and slows passage of food.
Go out of your way to at least triple your fiber, but work up to it gradually, this is important. Pysillium before meals with a large glass of water (very important) will have you underway.
Definition of constipation, is one stool every 3 days. Normal is one or more per day. My experiences on cave man diet lends a result of 2 or more times a day - very easy, not once did I have constipation in 2+ years. Diverticulitous has disappeared. Never heard you could recover fully from that before.
