Hi @Kelly2912
Have you received advice from an NHS Dietitian? If not, it would be wise to ask your GP for a referral.
There is such a confusing array of contradictory information and advice about diet out there in internet land. However, especially for people with underlying medical conditions, it is really important to ensure you are receiving advice tailored to your individual clinical needs.

Uniquely, dietitians use the most up-to-date public health and scientific research on food, health and disease which they translate into practical guidance to enable people to make appropriate lifestyle and food choices.
