Reddit mentions of Kellogg's Special K2O Iced Tea Protein Water Mix, 0.49-Ounce, 7-Count Box (Pack of 6)

From here:

(1)Here's the very general info my nutritionist told me to AVOID:

Products made with added fat (e.g., biscuits, crackers, etc)
Anything breaded or fried
Anything that uses cheese, creme, butter or oil-based sauces.
Avocado
Regular ground beef (85% lean or fattier)
Hot dogs, bacon, sausage, high-fat lunch meats.
High-fat poultry like duck
Chicken skin
Nuts and seeds
Whole or 2% milk
Creme or half-and-half
Cheese (unless reduced fat)
Dairy or other products made from whole milk, or cheese
Added sodium
Alcohol of any kind


It is not very specific, but it is all they offered me. The key is fat content and preparation.

Most of the foods on the AVOID list are high-fat. I have been doing OK with coffee, tea and orange juice, so I don't think you need to worry about those. Banana are high in potassium, somthing they pump into you after an attack, so I think you're good there too. They didn't say anything about acidic drinks to me. Oatmeal is good. Candy is often high in sugar but low fat so it should be good in moderation (unless you have diabetes). The bugaboo with pretzels is salt and if they were browned using butter.

Also..

(2)Foods to eat: At the beginning, you need to eat only liquids if possible. Blend banana with Vanilla Almond Milk in the morning because banana can help coat the stomach. Cook 1/3 cup of rolled oats with 3/4 cup Vanilla Almond milk and eat it watery. Dried food seems to get stuck in stomach area. Cook asparagus, black beans, broccoli or green peas in chicken broth and blend into soup. Two tablespoons of cottage cheese help with protein. As well, black beans have protein. Make sure to eat soft liquidy foods and only in small amounts at a time. Chew everything to make it mush in the mouth. Health Tips on Tai Chi Health Products has a complete list and diet. I learned the hard way what NOT to eat.

And..

(3)Here are some things that help me:

Can't drink. Even a couple of drinks can put me down for a week.

A very hot shower or bath helps me a lot. I have a jacuzzy tub and often sleep in it. This has kept me from the ER several times.

Beef consumme, 0 fat.

Protein juice smoothies.

Plain pasta.

I have just discovered K2O protein water. It has 5g protein, 5g fiber, 6g carbs and 0g fat. I have had no more problems from this than plain water, and it helps with the hunger.

When I feel a little better, Ensure Plus (generic) is a good meal. It has 350 calories 13g protien and 11g fat. You can live off of these if you can stand the fat.

When I am starved to the point of being dizzy and shaky, I will put a little brown sugar in my mouth and hold it there until dissolved. This restores blood sugar without putting anything in my stomach.


(From me..Hope you feel better soon!)
