Well with everything medicine and food alike, everyone reacts a little differently.
Yes, there are some foods you should avoid. But they depend on how any of them affect you and your digestive system.
I find limiting carbs, sodas, beer, and limit my dairy. as well as eating small meals more times a day is better for me.
More importantly than avoiding certain foods, you should pay attention to a healthier diet! As that in it self will help as well as avoid some unhealthy choices. The interesting thing I have learned by many discussions with dietary people, is that the same recommended diet for cardio is also recommended for pulmonary. That is a 'Mediterranean' diet. You will find it to be more helpful than trying to keep foods out and make it easier to watch. They may use some carbs but in a way that does not create bloating or gases. That is how my diet is and there is a large verity of meals to change trough. Seems to help keep my healthy and controlling my weight a lot better. [Everyone is different though, find what works best for your breathing and weight]
Thank you Michael.dairy started this summer,ice cream,I love ice cream.Did not like me.Look into Mediterranean diet,This is weird for me,I could eat anything.
@A MyCOPDTeam Member, there is a lactose free ice cream that you might want to try. It is very good. Lactaid is the brand that I'm familiar with. It is NOT low fat. I think that the only difference in it and regular ice cream is that it is made with lactose free dairy. I am very sensitive to lactose. so I have to be careful. In any case, I think moderation is the key word here. There is a lot of sugar in ice creams so be careful. As @MichaelJerjav said, the Mediterranean is the best. When I follow it I feel so much better with less breathing and Gerd issues.
I started using lactose milk.So far ok with cheese.You had a dream job.Dipping and making.Thanks friend,
Yes Carol, I love ice cream too. I worked at a dairy as a dipper, and later the person making the ice cream. So I dearly love my ice cream. Now it is a special desert treat only once a month. But I'm ok with milk and cheese yet.
