Re: Need help with severe hypoglycemic episodes

[Guest guest]

For my son, hypoglycemia and yeast are often related. Many people are helped

with hypoglycemic episodes by taking chromium, but my son reacts poorly to

chromium. You could also try vanadium for hypoglycemia, and this helps my son a

lot. Kirkman's sells both these products, but I get them at a HFS.

What also helps my son's hypoglycemia is eating more protein, and eating

protein with every meal or snack, and making some snacks strictly protein. Feed

foods low on the glycemic index, or if feeding foods higher on the glycemic

index, feel along with protein.

And tackle the yeast.

Vanadium, glycemic index and yeast treatments have made hypoglycemia almost a

thing of the past for my son.

Good luck,

Debbie

How do you know it's hypoglycemia? My son was recently diagnosed with

hypoglycemia, too. More information would help...

Thanks!

For my son, yeast means hyperactivity, constipation, sometimes irritibility.

Hypoglycemia means bizarre hunger, such as complaining of hunger 20 minutes

after a full meal. Hypoglycemia also means intense craving of sweets, although

this is also sometimes yeast for my son, but happens invariably when

hypoglycemia has reared it's head.

Our DAN! dr told us that the blood testing done for hypoglycemia was not very

accurate on kids. Instead, he gave us a long questionnaire to answer, where

you got a good indication as to whether or not your child was hypoglycemic. I

have seen very similar questionnaires in books and on the internet in several

places. You could go to www.google.com and type in " hypoglycemia questionnaire "

and get lots of hits.

Then, one of the many tests we did on my son (I think maybe the GS Liver

Detox Test, but am not positive that's the one) came back with some value which

indicated that my son may have hypoglycemia, which we had already determined by

that point. I have a fat folder of test results, but if I discover which test

that was, will repost.

Hope this helps,

Debbie

What sort of hi-protein snacks do you give?

A couple of examples would be really helpful.

Thanks!

I forgot to mention that we're already taking chromium.

Yeast is related to hypoglycemia somehow but I don't know the exact

mechanics. It seems chelation is usually bringing on yeast so that

looks like a good place to start. What protocol are you using? If you

are working with a doctor, what does he/she recommend for yeast? If

you give No-Fenol as one of the enzymes, you can start giving it at

each meal if possible. And combine it with a yeast killer of some

kind (grapefruit seed extract, oil of oregano, etc). The combination

of yeast-targeting enzymes plus yeast-killer seems to work

synergistically better than either alone.

Other suggestions for hypoglycemia:

- give protein and carb smallist meals/snacks within 3 1/2 hours

(always eat something within that time)

- good sleep schedule. Go to sleep at the same time each night, and

get up at the same time each morning, with 'the same time' being

within 15 minutes. My neurologist was pretty insistant on this from

the beginning and, by golly, it works.
