[QUOTE="BBTempleN, post: 2307023, member: 530332"] Hi All, so I got through yoga and migraine free so far today.:happy: Just had a snack 2hr 20min after breakfast to see me through till lunch (half piece rye bread and cottage cheese). Usually I love a salty caramel hot choc afterwards just on a Sunday morning as a treat but ditched it recently. It might be that I am not hypo and just react to drops in my blood sugar levels, I just dont know but it sure is awful and a lot on that hypo list I can tick off. I think I became more of a carb head since the stomach illness, but it is mainly complex carbs a I'm not a junk food, low fibre fan. Basically it was like having a stomach ulcer without having one. I had an ultrasound for gall stones and all ok and paid myself to have a camera to my stomach as at that age was a bit young to do on NHS without waiting ages, and I was getting desperate as couldn't eat hardly anything. Luckily came back with no issues and gradually I turned it around by eating what felt OK and that could get me some weight back. Non fatty carby things seemed to be choice such as a jacket spud. The chicken tray bake is mainly chicken with either a lentil or a chickpea addition and then some veggies. Not potatoes or rice or bread. This does vary depending. I will try a bit more chicken though my husband won't like it as he usually get a bit of mine :chicken:. I will try the lower carbs without loads more fat (think i'm ok with coconut oil for some reason but but not so much with butter and cream etc) and try to increase protein and see how I get on. I tried adding more recently but those stomach issues started coming back, so I backed off again, took my lovely stomach calming remedy and it seems to have settled again now. I did try the papaya enzymes for digestion, but not sure they helped. They tasted lovely though. So I just have to be really careful not to end up there again. One suspicion of mine was that I had been following a migraine diet that advised cutting out aged foods, pickles, etc and I think that could have messed up my microbiome, but again it was one of those things that was difficult to fathom, could it have been stress etc and all again in search of the golden chalice of a migraine cure.
