A couple more questions (are y'all sick of me yet LOL)

[Guest guest]

1) I get very low blood sugar. Today I was late getting lunch already then a

friend called and by the time she hung up I was ready to pass out,

literally! I ate a big chunk of meatloaf, an apple, 2 tbsp coconut oil, a

few crispy nuts and a bit of yogurt before I finally felt ok again. Question

is, what are the best things I can eat to get the blood sugar back up

quickly (if anyone says white sugar I WILL hit you with my big NT book LOL).

And what are some tips on copeing with this annoying condition.

2) I had my gallbaldder removed several years ago (before I knew anything

about NT) made me hopping mad, the doctors said they were SURE it was my

gallbladder that was cause the pain I was having at the time. They took it

out and it was perfectly normal (grrrrrrr)!! I thought, what are they going

to do, take out organs until the pain stops?! I could see it all now...

Surgeon: " EUREKA!! Nurse! We did it. I've CURED her!!!!! "

Nurse: " Doctor, you just removed her HEART! She's DEAD! "

Sergeon: " Yes. But she not in PAIN anymore IS she? "

Anyhoo, so here I am without a gallbladder. Animal fats do not seem to cause

me any trouble btw. So what are some things I should/ shouldn't be doing

diet wise?

Hi ,

I have low blood sugar problems too, if I wait too

long between meals, I go into a full fledged panic

attack, it is just awful, i have to bring food

wherever I go.

What you ate was just perfect, especially the

meatloaf. Sometimes I need sugar faster than that too

and I eat an apple. I even take the Organic baby food

sweet potato/apple jar in my purse, you can chug that

wherever you are and it will help. The best foods for

the low blood sugar in my opinion are the animal

meats/fats. Lamb ribs, beef ribs, steak, salmon, all

fatty animal meats always help me and I can go longer

between meals. I also drown everything in butter or

olive oil and coconut oil helps, but it makes my heart

race when I have too much.

Also avocadoes, I eat one everyday, dark poultry,

little to no grains, you can make almond flour

muffins/breads instead of grain, but soaked millet is

good if you drown it in fat. Things that make it

worse: citrus, vitamin C, B complex vitamins, and

just about most fruit except apples and pears. Hope

this helps, Juli

My blood sugar drops quickly and my best coping results are

prevention, prevention, prevention. I hate that crashy feeling and

even the quick meal is too late - takes hours for the headache and

cr** to go away.

Eating adequate mixed meals at regular intervals (no longer than 5

hours apart except for overnight 12 hour fast) and having take-

along foods at all times. No carbs on their own. Almonds and prunes

are in my pantry for emergencies. Also tuna packs and bags of baby

carrots. I'm not kidding -even if I had to go to the hospital

emergency room I would be prepared. That's how much I don't want to

go to low-blood-sugar place.

I won't tell you to eat white sugar, but of the food you listed, only

the apple would have raised your blood sugar to any degree, at least

in the first hour or so. Although if there were bread crumbs in the

meat loaf, those would also help.

Any fruit will do it, or bread. Also milk. If you need to bring it

up quickly, go for fruit juice, then follow with protein for

stabilizing your blood sugar.

I was reading in NT that if you are hypoglycemic you should have a

high fat diet and if you are hypothyroid you should restrict fat

some. What if you are both?

K,

Would you mind posting a few days sample menu of what you eat?

We'd love to criticize, eh, comment.

Eat a high-fat diet. Fat restriction is nonsense.

The better something is at raising your blood sugar RIGHT NOW, the

worse it is for you later and long term, so you have to just find the

best compromise. Some nuts and cheese might work for you, or just

some nuts, or maybe a piece of fruit. Or you could try something

unusual like ginger juice.

>And what are some tips on copeing with this annoying condition.

Eat more saturated fat, eat fewer carbs.

>me any trouble btw. So what are some things I should/ shouldn't be doing

>diet wise?

Pretty much the same things anyone shouldn't be doing. Your main

problem is that you can't store up bile. That doesn't mean you can't

eat fat -- far from it, as you've discovered -- but you want to be

careful to keep your stomach from dumping all its contents into your

intestines insufficiently digested and at once.

Forgive my ignoranc, how would I prevent this? Smaller more frequent meals?

Sorry, I should've elaborated. That would be the standard advice,

but I can't recommend that, because it'll eventually derange your

hormone metabolism. The key is to avoid foods which you're allergic

to, to avoid foods which can cause digestive problems (my

recommendation would be to follow the SCD), and to give your system

digestive assistance if necessary -- e.g. HCl, pancreatin, and bile

supplements.

-

[Guest guest]

Oh I am well deranged as it is! (LOL I couldn't resist that one). What is

the SCD diet? Most of the foods that don't agree with me arn't even food

(like soy and hydrogenated stuff and MSG) so I don't make a habit of

consuming them if I can at all avoid it. Do you reccommend any particular

brand of suppliments? Any to avoid?

SCD stands for the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, which is laid out in

Elaine Gottschall's book _Breaking the Vicious Cycle: Intestinal

Health Through Diet_.

Do you mean for digestion?

You had mentioned HCl, pancreatin, and bile

supplements.

Unfortunately, I only have HCl and pancreatin supplements I don't

recommend less than I don't recommend others, if you know what I

mean. They all have nasty fillers. At the moment, I use NOW HCl for

stomach acid and Labs Lipanase for pancreatin. I haven't

found a bile supplement that I personally tolerate, but maybe someone

else can make a recommendation.
