Need An Advice Concerning Food Allergies And Hypoglycemia Posted: 06-05-07 02:45am
Hi there, I'm new to the forum and I need
an advice
I'm on the hypoglycemia diet for about a
year and my carb tolerance hasn't changed
a lot, still can't tolerate any "heavy"
carbs even in very small amounts like
potatoes, oatmeal, buckwheat, millet...
even carrots cause some problems!
I eat many other vegetables like green and
yellow beans, peppers, broccoli,
salad-type vegetables and etc.... but
heavier carbs I just can't eat, when
should I be able to eat them?.......
Now the problematic part....... Some of
you might know that there are
hypoglycemics with food allergies and
sensitivities... well, I'm one of
them.......... I CAN'T eat dairy products
(including goat's) nuts, fish, soy and
eggs.... all the protein choices except
for different kinds of meats....... So I
eat meat many times during the day and I
don't know if it's so good...
Any suggestion about protein choices?
I've become an underweight because of this
restrictive diet and I'm a little
worried...
Please advise me.

Increase fat intake a little and your
weight should stabalize, olive oil is very
good for this. Carrots aren't very good
for you, as they are a root vegetable.
It's tough to say when you will be able to
eat such things, the best thing to do if
you want to try adding some is try oats
first, and eat, seriously, one single
grain of it to see what happens, adding by
the week if necessary until you can
achieve a good level. I need to know
though, have you actually been tested for
any allergies or do you simply think you
have them?

Well, concerning allergies, I don't
"think" I have them, as well I haven't
been tested for them.
I just know how they make me feel- dairy
products, no matter which type, make me
feel bloated, eggs make me exteremly
nervous, when I eat soy I crave it
intensely and then I feel a drop in my
bs... all the symptoms are just there. the
same goes for fish and nuts.
Any advice?

My advice is to be tested for these things
before ruling them out, your body may just
be having trouble digesting them until you
get your sugar stabalized. I had the same
probem with milk and such as well but just
said screw it and ate it and eventually
the symptoms went away. I meant 'think'
you had it as in you were basing it on
what you felt but were never tested.
Don't do that, get tested to be certain,
otherwise you may be avoiding foods that
can help you.
