No, unfortunately not. I got sick with possibly another problem, which was diagnosed as lactic acidosis that refused to go away for many days and other, very erratic problems that stayed for 6 weeks, for which the doctor made additional tests and in the end said he could not find out what's...

I rather have the feeling my body just doesn't get a lot of energy out of protein and fats. Thus yes, even eating a bit less carbs and a bit more of the other two makes me sick.

It's fatty and protein rich food that causes these symptoms for me, not carbs! I still don't understand why. I'm doing a lot better when I exercise regularly (in the evening! I can't even walk 3km before breakfast without crashing). Hey, I once was on a 3-week vacation where I got less carbs...

I'm a woman of 46, normal weight. Since my teens, basically since working I get what seem to be sudden bouts of reactive hypoglycemia. Symptoms include everything you can expect, plus at times very low blood pressure, nausea and abdominal pain. Triggers seem to be being late for one of my...
