Yes I think it is worth putting in a complaint. You could easily have ended up back in hospital and they need to review their procedures so it doesn't happen again. All the best.

I had gastric bypass surgery and due to complications carbs and certain fats make me go hypo. I also have to be careful of certain sauces or processes foods like tuna, yogurt, mayo, ketchup, soy sauce as some of them contain starches, rice, wheat which drop my glucose. Even fruit makes me go...

Thank you Lamont! Ivey

I did checked the sugar content and it was 8 grams and didn't have alcohol sugars, but I didn't check the salts. I am on a high salt diet as I have low blood pressure called Orthostatic hypotension. I need the salt along with my blood pressure medication to push my blood pressure up. My...

Thanks for that. I am going to start to be more vigilant, as I am cutting back on so many things I am really limiting myself. I find when I cook my meals are usually good but I recently had to switch from soy sauce to gluten free tamari as it doesn't contain wheat or rice. It's getting to the...

It was a dannon light and fit coconut flavored yogurt which after the drop I read that one of the ingredients was corn starch (corn flour), I have dairy a lot but after the surgery for the first 6 months I found myself to be lactose intolerant, every time I tried yogurt, coffee or the protein...

I have seen 2 Endo doctors and they both say it's reactive hypoglycemia, a rare complication from gastric bypass surgery, as there is nothing wrong with my endocrine system. Even though my cortisol and C-Peptide tests came back low 4 days in a row (72hr fasting test). Right now seems like...

Thanks for this, I have just started to look at my yogurt suspiciously, as I noticed a new brand I bought dropped my glucose horrendously!! I started at 80 (4.4 in UK) and found myself at 32 (1.8 in UK) 30 mins later. I thought I might have to cut dairy out but it's a big source of protein for...

Hi Lamont, Thanks for that info, yes it's all trial and error at the moment for me. I can't eat processed food so I cook from scratch and I do fast a lot as some times I am too tired, or still full from my last meal to eat and my glucose levels are fine, even though my bariatric nutritionist...

Hi Sue, No I am not doing Keto. I did think about it and in a way I am but not really as you said I can't do the high fats. My reactive hypoglycemia comes as a rare side effect of gastric bypass surgery. The weight loss surgery so my diet was already limited and is now even more limited. I cook...

I am a reactive hypoglycemic. By keeping a food diary of everything I ate, we figured out it is carbs and high fats that drop my glucose levels. I had a 72hr fasting glucose test and my glucose on the 4th day dropped to 58, and when they fed me oatmeal at the hospital I dropped to 32. They had...
