anytime i have carbs i feel really really sick within minutes
my glucose levels can be fine but the sicky feeling lasts for hours
is this normal?
 
What carbs? Starchy carbs make me miserable. Achy, sleepy, hungry etc. For me, it is normal. That's why o don't eat them. Except veggies

Do you test to see your blood glucose numbers. The sickly feeling could be your numbers shooting up. You should try the LCHF way of eating, low carbs, higher healthy fats. My numbers came down and are steadily in the mid 4 to low 5 range and I feel 1000% better than 12 months ago.

yes i allways check
sometimes they can be at 6 and sometimes over 8 and i feel the same
its been happening for a few weeks now but ive also started having coffee again and ive had what i thought was a headache for a few weeks which has turned into another tooth infection.....so im wondering if im blaming food when it could well be the coffee or infection
 
could be your antibiotics for your tooth infection.

on the other hand, I feel sick when I have anything with white flour in, or when I used to eat white rice or pasta.

not on antibiotics yet, tooth pain kicked in friday evening so have to wait until tomorrow to be seen :(
 
A middle-age friend of mine has only recently be diagnosed with Coeliac as he found he could no longer tolerate many carbs. Your problems could be anything but bear in mind Coeliac as one possibility. I guess trying gluten-free carbs might be a test?
 
@licklemoose - I see from your profile information that you take Metformin? Some people find that if they have too many carbs, whilst taking Metforim, they can feel a bit off colour.

It could be an idea to do a food, bloods and feelings diary before you see your Doc, to record what you ate, your numbers and how you felt. That might help the Doc pinpoint things a bit more readily.
