It is so acidic it changes all your food to acid (hence no acid-base reaction) then the gall bladder covers the food in bile from the liver and changes it to alkaline (basic) for its trip thru your intestines. If the food is not acidic from your stomach, the bile will make it too alkaline. Remember, for example lye is alkaline (basic) and it can burn like hell. Not good to have the food running thru your intestines to be too basic, (alkaline), either.
I think you are suffering from adult onset carbohydrate intolerance. Enzymes needed to digest carbohydrates decrease in adulthood due to celiac disease and tropical sprue (which affect absorption in the intestine) or intestinal infections and injuries. This is diagnosed using oral tolerance tests. With proper management this can be taken care of.
Sinus symptoms may or may not be related to carbohydrates. It could be due to crabs you mentioned. Hope this helps.
Since my diagnosis in July, I have become obsessed with food. I really struggle with my diet. My doctor said I should try limiting carbs to 50 per day. I read all labels and make sure I am eating protein with carbs. I find that I get headaches when I don't eat properly. I started logging my food because it helps keep me on the right track.
Calories come from nutrients, from our food, broken down to its simplest elements. Some carbohydrates start to break down in our mouth with our saliva, then the stomach starts protein break-down. The food makes it way to the small intestines where fats, and protein break down are completed, and all, including carbohydrates, are absorbed into our bodies. Whatever is not broken down, passes into the large intestine and excreted.
see avoiding junk food is good in fact very good but regarding healthy food u say u are having is a doubt.. healthy food doesn't mean cutting out fat totally and carbohydrates totally.. rather a balanced diet would be a better option than healthy food.. ur normal diet should comprise of fibres in a large amount. proteins, vitamins, carbs and a little bit of fat..try working out also coz having healthy food alone won't be of help.. keep your system hydrated drink water...

Low blood sugar and low serotonin levels can both cause food cravings. Serotonin is a hormone in the brain that helps make you feel good. When it is low, sadness or depression may result. Eating sugar or other simple carbohydrates helps temporarily because they stimulate serotonin release.

Both weight loss and weight gained are played in balance. When you consume food, you take in the energy. The carbohydrates are turned to glucose and then into energy. The energy not used up by metabolism or exercise are used in two ways. It can either be stored in the liver as glycogen that is fat stored in your body to be used later when needed. Another way is that is gets used in building muscles, therefore you gain weight.
many beers are made from wheat, barley, corn, or rice...typically high in carbohydrates. Wine is often made from grapes or other fruits that are then fermented to produce alcohol) In short- alcohol does have carbohydrates, but the amount of carbs varies a good bit between various types of drinks.
As for where calories come from... You can find products that have zero carbohydrates, but are still pretty high in calories. A calorie is actually a measure of energy.

This does not mean that all carbohydrates must be avoided but it is necessary to limit carbohydrate intake and to choose what are called complex carbohydrates in place of simple carbohydrates. The goal for a type 2 diabetic is to maintain their blood glucose within a safe range. Complex carbohydrates are broken down at a slower rate than simple carbohydrates meaning that the glucose is released into the bloodstream at a slower rate allowing more time for the uptake of glucose.

The body doesn't make the difference when talking about sugars because even if it is fructose, lactose or sucrose or glucose and even if it's from a candy or a vegetable, in the end they will all end up being glucose in your body. What does make a point tho is that complex carbohydrates take longer time to break down in your body to that means the blood glucose remains more stable. Complex carbohydrates are startchy food like patatoes, rice and pastas.
