Extremely Thirsty And Need To Pee A Lot After Eating Certain Carbs

Why do I get so extremely thirsty after eating cassava, yams, plaintans but not parsnips, carrots or bananas?

It starts like 20 minutes after. I also need to urinate heavily. And I feel my muscles get filled with water and my body gets harder. It also effects my energy both up and in a strange way fatigue at the same time.

I'm very gluten intolerant and I'm thinking maybe cross reactivity or something. The effect is noticeable when the only carbs that I've have been eating has been parsnips etc for a longer time.

Thoughts?

Sweet potatoes do btw don't give an effect either. So what does sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, all fruits have in common but not cassava, yams and plaintans?

Diabetes can cause people to urinate frequently.  The body tries to get rid of the excess sugar in the blood stream.

My glucose levels have been tested ok. And I don't get the response to fruits and parsnips. They should have a lot of sugar.

It still sounds like a sugar problem to me.  From what I understand, your glucose levels can test okay until you have full-blown diabetes. 

 

Carbs turn to sugar in your body very quickly.  Also, it depends on what you're eating with the sugary foods.  For example, if you're eating cottage cheese with the fruit you may not see the same response because the protein helps balance it out.

Hm..

Could be a sugar problem. But I don't understand in what way if so.

I can can eat a full plate of parsnip chips and feel nothing. If I eat 1/20 of a plate of cassava/yam chips the reaction starts.

Do I have a problem with some type of sugars that are found in cassava etc but not parsnips/carrots etc? And what would they be, complex carbs or something like that?

Not sure about that one... but parsnips have less carbs, no sugar, and more fiber.  (at least when comparing Trader Joe's brand parsnip chips vs their sweet potato chips).

 

Could be a different food sensitivity altogether.

      Yeah, that one is always hard, especially since life seems to revolve around food. That happened to me 2 weeks ago with hibachi and with Hungarian hot dogs. I used to be more picky, but now I would love to try all the things if I could. On the bright side, my husband is absolutely wonderful with it, and his mom often brings a few certified gluten-free things to family get-togethers just for me (and tries to make sure main dishes are safe too). Having the people closest to you be supportive can make a huge difference.

      I hear you. My extended family is very good about factoring in my celiac disease safety needs when making family celebration meal plans but sometimes it breaks down in the spur of the moment decisions to "Oh, let's go out and get some teriyaki" or the like. Especially when my brother in law comes into town 'cause he's pretty particular about what he likes to eat. So, sometimes I just say, "You guys go ahead without me. I'll find some leftovers." But, still, I admit to feeling a little left out at such times and a little like a 5th wheel.

      Same, and I appreciate your comments. I just needed to get it off my chest. Sometimes, even when its a genuine mistake, it can feel all too hurtful and I didn't want to go back to work tomorrow still in my feelings.

      Yes, probably slipped his mind. Grace is in order here is my thought.

      I should have added that, while I dont have access during the meetings, I do as soon as I leave them (same for him) so I would have seen before I even left work. He has my number since we've needed to coordinate by cell a few times for work and other stuff. I usually have a protein bar or two in my desk for emergencies so I could have grabbed one of those and gone to meet them at the right restaurant.  Someone else decided on the change of restaurant and it must have slipped his mind that I wasn't coming back to my desk.
