s a complex carbohydrate by structure, is often used in protein powder supplements and because it is technically a "complex" carb, it's also touted as a healthy! It's not! Maltodextrin is an insulin and blood sugar spiking carbohydrate with a glycemic index of 105. One of the highest ever recorded glycemic indexes and a score 50% higher than white bread!
I think you're making a common mistake in thinking about food, which is that protein is good and carbs are bad. This isn't at all true -- the majority of your diet should be carbs. Vegetables, for example, the core of a healthy diet, are carbs, whereas beef is very high in fat on purpose and hard to digest despite being high in protein and so is never weight-loss food.
Fluids are easier to ingest after a vigorous workout than solid food and can be easily carried in a gym bag. Carbohydrate sports recovery drinks are available in powder form and pre-mixed liquids. Drinking a glass of fruit juice is another carbohydrate drink that is absorbed quickly and easily digested.

I am coping and doing my best, but I was wondering if anyone knows of support groups for adults with either CSID or carbohydrate malabsorption. I can find groups for parents with kids who have these disorders, but nothing for adults. Just want share stories, make some friends who understand and perhaps swap some recipes.
Also looking for a good nutritionist/dietitian referral in the southern california area if any one can pass along a recommendation.
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?
He underwent by-pass surgery last year. He had to undergo another (minor) operation 6 months after by-pass due to infection in sternum. During the gap..he was diagnosed leaned more towards hypoglycemia. So much so that insuline dose was not required during preparing him for the second operation. Even after operation he started giving symptoms of hypoglycemia.i.e. shivering, confusion etc. He was advised and treated for hypolycemia.
Well, it following these guidelines "might" work, however, they have never been shown to.
Ketones are substances that are made when the body breaks down fat for energy. Normally, the body gets the energy it needs from carbohydrate from the diet. If the diet does not contain enough carbohydrate to supply the body with glucose or sugar, stored fat is broken down instead and ketones are made. Do keep us posted. Best regards.

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?
Even if my sugar is good before bed and I take my lantus it is always high in the morning. Any reason and any advise?
Sucralose is derived from sugar, however, it is not perceived by the body as sugar or as a carbohydrate. In specific studies in people with diabetes, sucralose had no effect on blood sugar levels, carbohydrate metabolism, or the secretion of insulin. Sucralose is not broken down in the body for energy and is excreted unchanged.
As with most low calorie sweeteners, SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener also contains common food ingredients, in addition to the sweetener sucralose.

I am a mother of a 5 year old little girl who has had severe stomach lining inflamation for over a year. We have had two endoscopies and both showed eroded stomach lining! We have been on every PPI known to man. She lives in constant discomfort. The doctors don't seem to know what is causing this. She has been tested for stomach allergies, and we know that she has no food allergies. I am so tired of seeing her like this.
