I know some people worry about the lactose.

I haven't had a problem with dairy. I don't have much of it, and have noticed no ill effect. I'm making clear progress with the candida, so if the lactose is a problem, it isn't much- I'm winning anyway! ;)

This may be one of those individual things about the diet, if you notice a problem, then listen to your own body.

I'm sorry for not calrifying things.

All carbs are sugar, be they complex or simple. Yur body breaks them down to glucose... all carbs.It doesn't have to be table Sugar to just be Sugar ok?

Glucose,fructose,sucaraose,galactose,lactose,dextrose..it is all sugar. Different chemical make up but still sugar.

Do this.

go to your Rice cakes. Look at the label and find total carbs grams.

Let's just say there are 28 grams of carbs per rice cake.

Okay,now divide that number by 4

we get 7

Now there are 4 grams per teaspoon.( A teaspoon holds 4 grams..a heaping about 5)

so knowing tht all carbs are broken down into sugar(like your 28 gram rice cake) we can equate that with each rice cake you eat you are consuming

7 TEASPOONS OF Sugar IN THAT ONE RICE CAKE. IF YOU HAVE 2 THAT'S 14 TSPS.

Do you understand? I'm not real good at putting a point across,but can you see how we figured that out and how your sugars can get away from you.

Oj has about 36 grams per 8oz,so with that one serivng alone we are taking in 9 tsps of sugar..

On reading the labels,the important number is total carbohydrates,not the sugars

Keano,

Try buckwheat. It will keep your energy up and add calories to your diet. I tolerate it real well and help keep you from losing too much weight. I would be in bad shape if it weren't for buckwheat. Much better than rice.

You can also flavor them with Carob Powder, cinnamon or vanilla.
