Join the club - RH is perfectly liveable with - you will just have to amend your diet.
For information, NOBODY who has had RNY should be having a glucose tolerance test for the reason you experienced. It's exactly how the vast majority of us would react and for some it could prove very dangerous.

Add me to the RH club. I have been controlling it with a high protein, low carb, healthy fats diet. It really is a very common problem and not a big deal if you eat the right foods.
I have iron issues too. Many RNY patients simply do not absorb iron orally. I have infusions yearly. When my ferritin gets below 50, my hematologist prescribes infusions. I take 120 mg of Carbonyl Iron and 800 mg Vitamin C, daily, just to slow the iron loss. Getting an infusion is no big deal either. I feel like a million bucks afterward.

Thanks so much and sorry for my delayed reply--I don't pop on OH all that regularly.
Funny thing is, since my bypass, I have been pretty compliant about proteins etc, and would notice on occasion if I ate a bagel or a slice of pizza, feeling some lethargy or malaise, and thought nothing of it, or that I should just avoid those foods (which I do--I use these foods like splurge foods once in a blue moon). It was only when I went in for a two hour glucose tolerance test and had to consume that syrupy drink with 75 gm of sugar in it, that something was really wrong with me. By and large I manage my RH the same way I do my bypass, just by eating the things that I should. Thanks for the reply!
