At this time when I eat very little sugar, or higher carb cakes (I live gluten free life, but flours like white rice flour has high carbs, that I coud not avoid yet, but I'm working on it). So when I eat a self-baked gluten free biscuit with higher carb flours, I get this strange vibration. Like an earthquake inside me.
What do you think, can this be a withdrawal symptom of sugar? I hope so, and just hope that it will go away when my body will adjust.
I would also eliminate gluten along with the low carb diet. If you try the low carb diet, make sure you take the recommended nutrients. They are recommended for a reason. And some people get silly with the diet and don't take in any carbs - DON'T DO THAT! Maybe you can call your doctor to make sure this diet is safe for you.
Barb, I was on low-carb diet for a long time, but recently I found out that for many people like me, eating a low-carb diet may weaken the thyroid or even cause hypothyroid. If you google "low carb diet and low thyroid", you will see that eating "safe" carbs like sweet potatoes or rice will help out your thyroid a lot. http://chriskresser.
s been stressful planning these meals around the holidays (diabetic-friendly, dairy-free, gluten-free meals are hard to come by).
Thanks so much!
Are you following a lower carb diet with your daughter? A high carb diet can make blood sugars very hard to control (and need lots of insulin). Low carb is safe for children and doesn't affect growth (it is the very high blood sugars that are not safe, and which restrict physical and mental development of children).
If you are interested to know more about low carb and diabetes management, I can refer you to read Dr. Richard Bernstein "Diabetes Solutions".
I was not tested for RA but have been tested twice for celiac antibodies and have come up negative. However, my nurse practitioner suggested I try a gluten free diet and my symptoms went away almost immediately. I have since been diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (already knew I was subclinically hypothyroid and was taking low dose meds for about 2 years which seem to be controlling it).
I have gastroparesis, recently diagnosed, and I am furiously researching the right diet I should be on because I know carbs make me sick so I am currently on a low fat/low carb type of diet but I stumbled upon a Celiac website and I could NOT believe the nunber of people who have BOTH celiac and gastroparesis or gluten sensitivty and gastroparesis. I think this is very interesting.
I eat under 50gr of carbs a day.
Reasonable or not depends on who you ask. We do know carbs are what your body turns to Blood Glucose (BG). Dont confuse the carb with the stuff its mixed with, vitamins, minerals. All those are available in other foods without the carbs.
There are no scientific studies that show going gluten, dairy, sugar free, low carb, etc will lower your antibody count...
While the antibodies may cause some inflammation/swelling of the thyroid, your main symptoms are actually the result of hypothyroidism, caused by reduced thyroid function, not from the antibodies themselves.
It takes some time for the weight loss to occur, but it is mostly the result of changing your diet. Change to low carb, high fat and protien diet. Get rid of sugar and gluten.
I do think it's a colon issue. It might be a cardiology issue, but I think it's the colon spasming, which suggests IBS. All the other symptoms you mentioned are a part of IBS, too. The bloating is a big part of IBS.
You'll have to learn about proper dietary control, but the conventional GI doctor may not give you enough information. Many with IBS have gluten intolerance issues, but conventional doctors may refute this.
