[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2564202, member: 85785"] Hi and welcome to our forum [USER=564174]@dizzyhighway[/USER]. I find stories and medical histories similar to these very interesting, my own battles to eventually get a true diagnosis and actually find someone who actually can diagnose, the reason, the why, of the symptoms I was getting. When I did find this forum a decade or so ago, it was only one other person knew what I was talking about. rare conditions like mine, take a lot of research, a lot of information, a lot of questions, a lot of assumptions, a lot of misinformation about diet and what is healthy to eat. But hang on, if like me I was told and reinforced by subsequent doctors that porridge is a super food and I should be eating that because breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So for years I was eating porridge every morning. Healthy? No! Breakfast? No! Eating porridge was making me ill. One thing I took from talking to an endocrinologist and on this forum, is that we are all different, and the response to food, meds, anything that we eat, drink, breathe and use in our everyday life. We are born and live with different aspects of allergies, intolerance and even with blood relatives, the difference can be big. Yes there are hereditary conditions, but why does my digestive system work different to even other member of my close family. I came to the conclusion that when you talk about cortisol and other hormones. That even before you eat or take meds, the body reacts to those hormones such as insulin and the other main hormones that have to deal with glucose derived from what goes in, your stimulus to what goes into your body, your body's reaction to everything, sight, smell, taste, feelings, touch, palette and more. It is called the hormonal response to your environment. Then, like a fingerprint, your retina, your gut biological make up is millions of bacteria. Good and bad, indifferent and some shouldn't be there. The more bad bacteria, the different aspects of digestion and how it performs lessens. Not one person in the world had the same amount of good and bad bacteria and this can effect you with endocrine disruption in your system. Hiatus hernias, the thickness of your stomach lining and the efficiency of your intestines, and of course the other end, in your bowels and the effect on that if the digestive processes are abnormal. Do not limit your thoughts that it is just cortisol, because there are too many hormones that are produced to help with digestion. The hormonal response and how that imbalance in hormones and also vitamin deficiency, does effect your gut brain axis. Which in my instance means that because of a high spikes in blood glucose levels, my brain will send a message to my pancreas to produce more insulin. The brain gives you symptoms because of the signals it receives from the hormonal response and the imbalance. That is why, when you need more energy and the level of glucose is insufficient to stop from tiring, the liver will 'dump' glucose (glucogenisis) to maintain glucose levels. One of the best methods that I was told by my endocrinologist to do was keep a diary of essentially food intake in my case and my blood glucose readings before and after meals. Fasting and if I had had symptoms. It helped me understand what food did to me. Wheat and grains, I've already mentioned porridge, but they are definitely not healthy for me, I'm not gluten intolerant, but the amount of carbs in wheat, I am so intolerant to. There is something else in wheat that I've read about could be worse than gluten, and that is why there is letters in bold on all food packing that contains wheat. It's not the gluten! The same advice as if there were nuts in the food!I Starch is another carb and another part of our dietary regime which needs looking at. It is so abundant in potatoes and it is in many vegetables to different degrees of hormonal response. There is other so called foodstuffs that can be very bad for you, in my research for such baddies, I couldn't believe how much of these were in manufacturing, the likes of some unnatural fats, such as palm oil, vegetable oils and fats, products from soya and so on. Then there is the additives, sugars, e numbers, and any other **** that they can get away with. it is really difficult to pin down the cause of most endocrine conditions. They exist, but what is the root causes. It could be one or two or many. T2 diabetes is very different to T1. T2 is suspected to be caused by quite a number of issues including steroid induced diabetes. You may never know how, when or why you get these symptoms, the most important is being in control of having a balanced dietary regime, that is healthy and fewer symptoms for you, and only you. A diagnosis is only what is its name, but how you treat it, is much more intrinsic to you and your future health. Thanks for your post. Stay safe. [/QUOTE]
