Carbohydrate intolerance effects
Common Questions and Answers about Carbohydrate intolerance effects
carbohydrate
I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
It could also be gluten intolerance or carbohydrate intolerance or reduced stomach acid. Or possibly your gallbladder. A few more things to consider. Good luck finding answers.
My partner has been trying to lose weight forever!. When I met him he was about 76 Kilos, 7 years later he is now 82. He is not very tall (5' 6'') so I guess he is about 2 stone over weight. He does not eat very much but unfortunately drinks too much. For a long time I have suspected he is 'glucose intolerant', in that even when he has carbohydrate available he goes shaky and experiences 'low' blood sugar symptoms.
Due to stomach problems, I have decided to try a Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Has anyone experienced relief on this diet?
So basically, this is what I got from it- fresh vegtables, fresh fruits, lean meats, most nuts, NO LACTOSE, NO SUGAR (except in fruits and honey), and NO STARCHES.
Is this about right? Also, what is the policy on yogurt and coconut milk?
Hi Moodbirdle and welcome to the forum.
I have seen your comment at the Fibro Community and I thank you for your
kind words.
Caryopteris has a good suggestion in regards to LDN as it is safe, inexpensive and it might work. The challenge is to get a doctor to prescribe it initially, since it's an orphan drug (expired licence-no profit incentive and it's low dose) and off label for your purpose.
Another suggestion is, as I mentioned at the Fibro community is to do
Dr.
I have also developed an intolerance to lactose and gluten these past two years. I have eliminated all lactose and gluten from my diet. Lactose intake makes my lymph nodes swell. My question is: Syntroid does contain lactose, and it seems that just that little amount prevents me from stopping the swelling, and feeling better. Could I switch to another thyroid medication? Should I continue on Syntroid, and take some digestive enzymes for lactose at the same time?
m not sure if I need to see an Allergist, ENT, Gastroenterologist, Internist or who because about an hour after eating a carbohydrate I seem to get inflammation and swelling on my right side only...starting in my right sinuses, behind right eye, right ear, right throat, right lymph gland in neck, and going in a straight line down the right side of my chest and down to my right kidney. If I only eat meat, salads, and non starchy vegetables, water and plain tea, I don't have any symptoms.
You might also benefit from their urine Organic Acids Test, which would show you how well your protein, carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism is working. It would be up to your doctor (or nutritionist) to know which test would be most beneficial to find the true cause of your weight loss, pain etc. Finding the right practitioner is crucial.
In the meantime, try a strong probiotic supplement, and something soothing to the gut, such as Slippery Elm ( from health food store ).
I've been dealing with gerd issues for the last half year. Colonoscopy and endoscopy were negative. I did do a series of rolling barium stomach xray which did show my stomach was on a roller coaster ride. I've been on most of the meds for gerd, from Zantac to Nexium to Lansoprazole to Pantoprazole. In December I started to develope numbness in my left foot and right hand. (Last night I noticed my left anke was swollen.
Could this be an issue since oatmeal is a trigger of too much fiber? Something else to look into is carbohydrate intolerance. https://www.merckmanuals.com/professional/gastrointestinal-disorders/malabsorption-syndromes/carbohydrate-intolerance. However, that would most likely would only be the situation if you have a long standing history since childhood of gi issues. People also can develop an oat allergy as an adult. https://www.healthline.
You could also have some kind of carbohydrate intolerance to the sweeteners used in cola drinks. About quinine being present in colas, I am not sure. But yes, quinine if present can cause allergic reactions.You should consult an allergy specialist and get yourself tested for allergies to ingredients of colas so that you can avoid them in other food stuffs too.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage.
And, it is true, in spite of what you see in the media and from what certain medical doctors will tell you, there are other things that can go wrong from gluten intolerance besides Celiac. Gluten intolerance is responsible for other auto-immune illnesses besides Celiac. The medical community is ill prepared to thoroughly investigate this however.
My own IBS definitely feels better going gluten free. I am not symptom free, but the severity of the symptoms is definitely reduced.
Anyone have an intolerance to heart medications? Flecainide (50mg) and Cartia. (120mg) Did you upgrade to an ablation, pill-in-the-pocket alternative? Or do you suffer daily with symptoms because the "meds keep you in sinus rhythm?"
For 25 months I have had daily symptoms (extreme fatigue, nausea, sleepiness) which match the side effects of Flecainide and Cartia.
ve also read that PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) can mimic high cortisol weight gain. PCOS is associated with carbohydrate intolerance. It's possible the South Beach diet isn't restrictive enough for her. She might need Atkins. But I wouldn't do that diet unless the doctor ok's it because of her type 1 diabetes. Gluten, which is in wheat, barley, rye and possibly oats, might be something for her to eliminate.
I was really lactose intolerant when I was a kid but now only effects me if i eat alot of dairy.. but at times in my pregnancy it has been flared up again by the pregnancy..
There are a couple options...
Soy Milk or like ALmond Soy Beverages.... I have never particularly enjoyed them but i have drank them from time to time in the pregnancy for the baby....
I have a calcium supplement that is a little chocolate chew... I sometimes will take 1 of those in a day if I need it...
Hi, we haven't seen much of you. I'm gald you haven't had to suffer the problems with heat. But, the bad news is that "anyone" with MS is at risk for severe side effects if they get overheated. The hottubs and sauna are worst, but it is quite possible to become overheated sunbathing on a hot day or exercising in the heat.
You run a risk of bringing on some bad symptoms if you let your body temperature rise much, even if you are not having much in the way of symptoms.
"Is this considered heat intolerance?" No, unless every time you go to the store its really hot outside, (not just how you feel).
Heat intolerance is when you physically cant take high ambient temperatures as well as others. Lets say you cant take heat above 90F like most other people. It makes you feel sick, dehydrated, weak, faint, ect.
It sounds like what you are experiencing is pre hyper hot feeliog or still adjusting to the higher dose of med.
Post your lab #;'s.
