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.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Heat intolerant... Yikes

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium. Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend...

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.

Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
