Thank you for your reply. At present I feel totally confused! I seemed to be managing well with 'lower carb' eating but then my thigh muscles started seizing up. This morning my waking bg wa 5.1 For breakfast I had 1 fried sausage, 2 mushrooms and 1 fried egg and a cup of boiled water (having...

Hi Everyone, I have awful aches and pains in my legs, thighs and eyes this morning. I am on LCHF but had small bowl of rolled oats porage yesterday morning and 2 oat cakes with peanut butter mid afternoon. Was that too many carbs? Regards

Thanks to everyone for your advice. Thanks also to Brunneira, I have now started making fat bombs.

Hello Brunneira, I am so sorry I didn't reply to your link for cramps. Things have been quite hectic just recently. I have been eating a small banana in very small portions each day for potassium and intend to look carefully at magnesium and potassium and try those. Hopefully a combination of...

Thank you Lamont. I am getting over my bad morning but very shortly after getting up, usually with a BG in the high 4s, my leg muscles start to shake as I get showered and dressed and by the time I am coming diwnstairs my leg muscles have seized up very tight and I have trouble walking. This...

Thank you for using your valuable time to help me. I do realise 4.7 is a good reading and that is why I can't understand why I feel so rubbish. I wondered if it could be because I am nearly 2 weeks into Keto and my body is still looking for carbs to eat. It may also be that I am not eating...

Thank you Dawn. I have just checked my Dioralyte box and found there is no Magnesium but there is 3.5g of glucose - I thought I was okay with that!! In future will revert to salt and water. I will have a look for magnesium tablets. Thanks for your advice.

Thanks Brunneira, I have been eating small amounts since I got up. Felt really bad so I had 1/2 piece Burgen bread but I can't remember what I put on it! I have had a roast beef salad for lunch and got up to 5.2. Will have coffee and cream now, I only usually drink water. What are fat bombs...

Thank you all for your ideas. I am learning fast thanks to everyone here. :)

Hi Everyone, Post prandial Reactive Hypoglycaemia I am having terrible muscle shakes, anxiety and can't think clearly this morning. I am doing quite well on very low carb (about 5g daily) keto although I am not quite 2 weeks into following it very carefully.I have been feeling so much better...

Oops, sorry. I meant coconut oil. I obviously need some for my foggy brain! I have amended my confusing post. Thanks.

I read on this forum that Virgin coconut oil is good for your brain. Can anyone give me suggestions for using this oil in daily cooking. I bought some yesterday and find the sweet taste too sweet for cooking savoury food and I don't eat sweet food. Thank you. Atlantico

Just read this article, Daily Express 13 April 2018. To look it up, just type in the 'heading' above. Regards Atlantico

I have just read an interesting article on the above site called "What is carb intolerance" by Dr Aseem Malhotra so decided to put it on here in case anyone wants to read it. Regards Atlantico

Hello Lamont, It was interesting reading how you have overcome all your problems and intolerances and come through it feeling so well. You are an inspiration. My dumping is classed as late dumping as my symptoms happen between 1 and 3 hours. Yesterday I missed breakfast completely and had my...

Hello Lamont Thank you again for your prompt reply. You asked what I cooked my egg in, I always use olive oil for cooking. I have decided to take your advice and miss breakfast tomorrow and see how I feel. When I have read previous posts from yourself I didn't realise you had Rapid Gastric...

Thank you for your reply. I will take your advice and tomorrow morning I will try a carb free breakfast and see if that helps. Regards, Atlantico

Hello Brunneria, first of all, thank you for your very supportive comments. I really appreciate all of your advice and what you say makes so much sense. I will certainly try implementing as much as possible. Thank you so much. Kind regards, Atlantico.

Thank you for your reply. I do enjoy exercise but this is usually where I struggle. I can more or less keep myself steady at home but as soon as I exert energy (I play golf and love brisk walking), then my BG drops and my muscles shake terribly, can't think clearly, my brain feels foggy etc. I...
