in cases like that, you might consider drinking your sugar - orange juice or gatorade or the dari-free I know you've got around ;-) drink in little sips, just a little tiny bit at a time, just like you've got the stomach flu. yeah, it sucks, A LOT. but, for me, liquid sugar works well enough to get me able to get actual food in, even if it's just something basic (shrimp and rice in lots of broth is often what my stomach goes for when it's unsettled, but we're all different on this one).

Pedilyte is one of the most disquatinng drinks I have ever tasted. :) I did send someone for gatorade though. They brough me onr called Rain. its 230 am, and I have succesfully kept it down since 10pm. Bearly though.

I think what happened was I had a hypoglycemia crash just before the symptons of the stomache virus hit. I was able finaly to get my BS up by eating recesses peanutbutter cups. Did not keep them down, but got enough out og them appearntly. I think if I make it to breakfast time, I will try that free ranage chicken broth we have. Maybe with some food for life brown rice bread. To scared to eat right now heh.

So much for getting better this week....

Was a bit scary till got my BS up, wife wanted to rush me to hosptial, but I refused. :D

Yep, nothing's scarier than the stomach flu when you're in danger of hypoglcemia...if I've ever had the flu bad enough that I can keep nothing down, I have to administer a Gravol suppository, and boy, they really work. The vomiting stops, quickly. Good to have on hand when very low blood sugars are a dangerous possibility. Nini's suggestion of popsicles is a great one...a diabetic's and hypo's best friend when a stomach bug rears its ugly head. Take care of yourself, Vincent...as well as this sudden flu, you've had quite a stomach-churning learning curve to deal with this week! :)

Hi all,

I've been following this thread (most of it) and I've been hypoglycemic for years and wanted to add something. I've learned that sometimes my sugar can be "normal" but if it falls too fast I still get the symptoms. For instance, if my blood sugar is at 90 and 10 minutes later it is at 75, I can have a full shakey crash even though 75 is considered normal.

Also, I tried eating the low carb diet - like you had yesterday and I think I almost died! :o I am now VERY careful to make sure I balance some carbs in with my protein. And if you want to reduce carbs do it gradually. For me I have found that change itself, even good change, can throw me into a crash.

Hope you get better soon, I know how scary it is. I hate feeling like I have no control, or if I do have control, I have NO IDEA what to do sometimes.

I've been reading this thread with interest because my husband also reacts strongly to changes in his blood sugar. We haven't actually tested the levels, but it's become obvious that he shouldn't either have a rapid lowering of it OR a rapid rise. He used to get sick when he had a long day, got very hungry, and then got home and ate a big meal too quickly. Now he starts with a bit of salad and carrots, and then starts to cook dinner. seems to be doing the trick so far...

HELP Im puking up anything I try to eat and sugar already low :( out of test strips now too .

That's why I keep coke or juice boxes around. I can't eat mid-crash or I'll throw up. Also, gatorade is sugary, but probably not sugary enough to bring you out of a crash unless you drink a lot of it, and then you'll throw up because you drank too much. It sucks. Go buy some juicy juice :)

do get some fat and/or protein into you with the carbs - you've got a lot of carbs again. depends on what your stomach will tolerate, of course. (this is why I keep the bags of frozen, precooked shrimp around. can't stand the smell of canned tuna when I'm sick, and don't want to deal with raw meats/eggs, so that's my meat choice.)

Wow, a reset button...how often do I wish I could be resetted?! Say, to back before I was seven, when all of my blood sugar concerns began. An erase button would be good, too. And my husband is all for a mute button... :angry:

WElp kept the tuna down, I think I am on the upswing side of this now... well at least the flu part. heh.

Now I just have to figure out how to make sure I get enough carbs, what enough carbs is, and how to make sure they are properly balnced with P/F... Ugh. *looks around for an easy button*

another reason I don't mind that my husband likes stir-fries so much. ;-) meat/veggies/rice, all in one spot. or beef stew. or chicken soup. or salads with meat. (that and we're too lazy to wash lots of dishes.)

Dont think I have tried making any stir fries.... any tips? :)

Dont think I have tried making any stir fries.... any tips? :)

check my recipes post? ;-)

basic premise: make your vegetables and meat around the same size. cook your meat first, and cook your vegetables in the order of which ones can stand the head the longest. here's a very simple one:

cut up boneless chicken thighs into cubes (about four slices across the long way, and then into cubes)

cut up a red bell pepper into roughly 1" squares

wash about a pound of sugar snap peas (or snow peas, I think those are lower in sugar)

heat a 12" skillet (or a wok if you've got one), then add 2 tbsp canola oil (or chili oil). add chili flakes (if you've got 'em), then the chicken, stirring/flipping off and on until it's nearly cooked through, about six minutes. add a tablespoon or two of soy sauce (I think you're doing soy, if not, let me know and we'll go non-soy routes.) add the peas, and cook, stirring, until it's turning a brighter green and just barely cooked through, about three minutes. add the bell pepper, stirring for 30 seconds or so, and remove from the heat. all done, and only one pot and possibly two plates dirty.

other vegetables that work well for stir fries: bean sprouts, carrots, bok choy, onions, broccoli, zucchini, baby corn, and mushrooms. you can also add fresh (or dried) garlic or ginger or jalapeno (or other chili pepper). you can serve over rice (preferrably brown or wild), or eat on it's own if you put a lot of veggies in with it.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge.

It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
