Guest guest Posted July 26, 2002 Report Share Posted July 26, 2002 I am severely carbohydrate reactive and didn't realize until recently what the problem was. I bought several low carb books and a couple of hypoglycemia books. They all seem to have much different ideas. I tried the predominately protein programs and got sick. Tried Chromium Picolonate and got even sicker. Can anyone direct me to an eating plan that works for hypo folks. HELP!! Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone direct me to an eating plan that works for hypo folks.» Hi When I was first diagnosed with hypoglycemia, my doctor told me to avoid carbs and load up on proteins... BIG MISTAKE Following his instructions, my blood sugar stayed way low, I got horrible headaches and dizzy spells, and ended up missing quite a lot of work. After a few weeks of thinking, " Well, maybe it takes some time to adjust to it, " I gave in and called my doctor back. He set up an appointment for me with a nutritionist, who put me on the Diabetic diet. At first, it was a bit of a pain, having to measure and weigh everything, but I quickly learned to " eye-ball " things. That was about 2 years ago. If I follow the diet, I rarely have blood sugar crashes and it doesn't leave me feeling hungry... While it worked for me, it might not work for everyone else, but I think it's well worth checking into.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2002 Report Share Posted July 27, 2002 I really don't think there are any fast easy answers on diet for any of us concerning whats right for us. You will have to do trial and error with each individual food. Fibro appears to be at least a partially metabolism based problem, and no one has the same metabolism. Do trial and error tests of your own, always keeping a diary of what you ate and how it made you feel. Then you should be able tosee some patterns, decide what way of eating works best for you. Since we are the only ones who know how we feel inside our own bodies, it only makes sense we should pay attention to what our bodies are trying to tell us. The problem is there are no fast answers. > Rik posted: «I am severely carbohydrate reactive and didn't realize until > recently what the problem was.
