Re: Severe sugar sensitivity / sugar handlingproblems

I think Sandy may be right. Also what foods do you eat? Have you

considered taking herbs to help?

Sandy is probably correct.

I gently suggest going cold turkey on the sugar and refined carbs to get

your system re-balanced.

Why not try the following:

1. if you need sweeteners for coffee or tea, try liquid stevia. Avoid the

stevia packed in packaging similar to NutraSweet as those actually contain

maltodextrin which is sugar. The stevia allows you B-vitamins store to

rebalance AND more importantly leaves your chromium free to interact with

insulin as opposed to sugar.

2. Quit dairy temporarily as lactose is sugar. BTW skim milk has even more

lactose. Try * oatmilk * powder as a dairy replacement.

3. Get some Brewers Yeast. It¹s powder form so you can mix it with your

oatmilk or coffee. Brewers Yeast is rich in * chromium * and B-vitamins.

4. Do not use NutraSweet as you may just complicated issues.

5. Eat more proteins and eggs.

Have you heard of the Japanese noodles ³soba² - it¹s made from buckwheat

so it¹s not your run of the mill simple-carbohydrate noodle. It¹s easy to

prepare just boil in water like pasta. Just because it¹s Japanese does not

mean you have to eat Japanese.

I¹ve soba with:

* bolognese (great),

* pesto (with finely chopped chillies, garlic and lots of extra virgin olive

oil) - very addictive especially as you can eat it cold pack it for lunch.

2 weeks of soba and you can * see * the waist shrink.

Hope that helps.

I agree. I have virtually the same problems that you do, with the sugar thing

especially. I cannot tolerate carbs or sugar without extreme nervousness,

irritability and anxiety and sometimes depression. I also feel strange, tired,

shaky, have insomnia, etc, but related to Candida, which causes the

hypoglycemia, so if you get one under control you help both and all symptoms.

NO sugar diet and I use Stevia only for sweetening and try to follow the diet

for candida, mainly veggies, meats and low carb, grains, etc and nuts and seeds.

I have had the candida severely my whole life and know it can be cured. The

hypoglycemia is usually associated with allergies or candida, all of which are

under the same umbrellla of ailments, treat one and you can treat all and get

rid of the horrible symptoms.

Hope this helps.
