water consumption/riba concentration

[babs824]

i read that early riba concentration might possibly effect success rate of tx. I wonder if drinking the quantity of water recommended (half body weight) might dilute or wash through the riba faster and lesson the positive effect. i have been eating cheese with riba as i have heard that it will keep the concentration longer. any thoughts?

This is a very good question.  I am in the riba dose reduction Arm of a Trial.  My first impression is that impeding riba uptake isn't going to help w/ tx unless you're facing a non-medical administrative "rule" that will force you to drop out of tx.


Hey Babs!  For a while during my tx I had a craving for buttered toast w/ cinnamon sugar - so there's your sugar coated fat (I gained 3 lbs that month while on tx) LOL

I didn’t realize there was such a thing as leftover strudel…

The boss just brought in an apple strudel from the German bakery they had leftover from their big Oktoberfest soiree at their home.  Of course, I wasn't invited but I'll sure eat his apple strudel.  Enough fat grams in that to last me for the rest of the month.

Jez this thread just made me starving and now somebody here is toasting a bagel......it's enough to make me drool.  Screw the apples pass me the butter.

Or a chocodile.

Sugar coated fat, eh.  Several years ago, I think it was test marketing a new product -  Hostess came out with a chocolate covered Twinkie called a "Chocodile"
