Thanks for all your replies, I really appreciate the time you have taken to answer my queries. Gastric bypass isn't an easy way out. I have never been well since having it. I learnt early that i couldn't tolerate rice or pasta and mashed potato. To eat them made me ill straight away. I have...

I test as soon as i feel unwell. Feeling unwell doesn't really describe how i feel, i actually feel b****y awful. My heart races, I feel an increased pressure in my head, I feel like i have weights tying my legs down with each step and I sound drunk. Confusion is also a problem, not being...
