Hypoglycemia
Hey All...
Just posting to say hi and ask if anyone is struggling with hypogycemia??? I find that if I eat anything higher in carbs that an hour or so later I have symptoms of hypoglycemia, and it resolves with having a meal or snack. I thought maybe it was dumping but it resolves with food. Now when I say I ate a higher carb food...I am not talking like a candy bar...maybe some graham crackers, popcorn or something like that...
I find this somewheat annoying...would you bother seeing your surgeon about it? I am sure there is no cure for this...Well...stay away from higher carb foods I guess...but I do also get it when I dont eat for a while...
anyhow any insight would be appreciated

I swear, they rigged our guts so that we wouldn't overdo the carbs!!
Nothing your surgeon can do, but your nutritionist might help you plan snacks, or you can figure it out on your own (which it sounds like you are doing).
I have found that the "better" the carb, the less likely I am to react - whole wheat bread sits better than white, etc.
