Hello
For about 6 months I have been TRYING to follow a lower carb diet. Not ketogenic low about 100g a day.
Recently I decided to try a more balanced diet again as I wasn't seeing results I wanted from low carb.
Before I started lower carb I used to have this chronic muscle pain in my neck/shoulder. Sometimes it was so bad I couldn't move my neck.
After I tried eating more carbs I noticed this shoulder pain came back with a vengeance. My glucose weren't particularly high. About 7-9 which surprised me.
I'm starting to wonder whether this is a wheat allergy/intolerance rather than a problem with control (which I thought it was when it disappeared on low carb).
Just wondered whether any other people with wheat problems had this?
Another thought I had was could it be the higher amount of insulin with higher carb intake.
Does insulin do this?
I have decided to stay lower carb and today I'm still in agony even though my glucose have been 5-7 all day.
Any ideas would be much appreciated
