[QUOTE="sickofbeingsick, post: 77556, member: 19625"] Thanks Ken and Totsy. I feel so much better when I stop eating bread, fruit, and chocolate, and go onto an all complex carb diet. So something must be going wrong somewhere along the line. I've been thinking about it all this morning, my hunch is that when I eat simple sugars I dont process that quick burst of sugar quickly or efficently enough (for some reason), and as a result I havent got enough energy. Im also starting to think that alot of my symptoms may be because my adrenal gland is having to push out adrenalin to compensate for the lack of sugar-produced energy. I had an 'adrenal stress index' test done about 3 months ago and my cortisol levels were flatlined, showing 'adrenal fatigue' (excessive stimulation/secrection over long periods of time). Thankfully I dont need to know the scientific reason why eating complex carbs makes me feel better, they just do when I eat that way, so I suppose that will have to do for now. Thanks again :) [/QUOTE]
