All grains make me sad and weepy. Sometimes not until the next day. Even if I take just one or two sips of my husbands Guinness foam I’m sure to cry. Dairy can do that too. Hence the reason I don’t eat grains but oooohhhhh, that Guinness foam is heaven.Why would a sugar rush make me feel so bad? I thought it would make me happy, not emotional.
Is it a dramatic change with you when you take them? Within 15 mins of eating grains I am crying like a baby.All grains make me sad and weepy. Sometimes not until the next day.

My daughters old room mate has that with all grains and dairy. It’s a food intolerance.
Sweet potatoes and yes all grains and I’m comatos asleep within 15 min for about an hour. Then I’m moody. I haven’t eaten them in years. My only grains are Guinness foam, 2 sips and yup lots of times the water works start but we laugh about it now because there’s nothing to cry about. I just had that creamy awesome foam. I don’t even drink the beer part!! Sometimes it’s just worth losing a little mascara over haha.Is it a dramatic change with you when you take them?

I find that its not, for me, the sugar rush. It is the down afterwards that makes me weepy and irritable.Why would a sugar rush make me feel so bad? I thought it would make me happy, not emotional.
ThanksInsulin also triggers the release of leptin, if I remember correctly. It goes hand in hand with satiety. Hence, why carbs are satiating. I won't lie, some days I miss my days of 50% carbs, but crashes and bs are better keeping them lower! Last night was hard. It was my brothers b-day, and my mother, who is hell of a baker, made fresh carrot cake! GRRRRR!!! lol Best of luck!
Thanks for your replies. At the moment, I can't work out if I just have a reaction to grains or if the problem is insulin release. I had a big bowl of root vegies last night and was fine afterwards. I'm going to keep experimenting till I get to the bottom of it.

Oh boy, you might not like this haha. I’m keto/ vlc per bg and ‘reactions’Sweet potato too? That's interesting because I had sweet potato today and found it too much for me as well. Like you, it seems to be all grains and sweet potato, on top of the obvious sugar etc. May I ask what your diet looks like on a typical day? Thanks.
It does, very much, thanks. This diet seems to be the way to go and has been suggested by Lamont too. I have tried it 3 times over the last month's ,each time lasting up to the 3rd day. When I'm on it, my brain doesn't get enough fuel and I get very anxious. I have actually done it for a few months in my past, but my body never seemed to adjust to it, even though I ate a lot more than you.Oh boy, you might not like this haha.

Bf is a slice of avocado smashed in a slice of deli turkey/ chicken
Lunch is 2 oz protein, a wedge of avocado and a few chopped veggies. Celery, green onion and radish
Dinner same as lunch with a small salad. Sometimes some steamed veg like a few asparagus spears or brussel sprout.
Snacks are olives, a few nuts or a small piece of cheese.
I eat an 80% fat diet but mostly Mediterranean fats. An entire large avocado divided into my meals, olive oil or mayo on protein, An ounce of cheese some days and about an ounce of macadamia/pecans.
I eat a wide variety of proteins,, chicken, turkey, fish, shrimp, tuna, salmon, eggs, rare lamb and beef slices.
I eat small meals every three hours as food in general makes me tired and hungry. Some of course less than others.
Avocado keeps my energy, bg and stomach very happy.
My meals are based on 2 oz of protein and 1/3 avocado.
I eat bf, make my lunch and split into two meals, a happy hour snack ( usually melted Brie with pecans and green onion or a soft boiled egg with bacon and onion split with hubby ). Then dinner. So I eat about 5 times a day but very small.
I’m not sure what it is but food bogs me down in general and my stomach does not like a lot of veggies but has no problem with fat and protein hence the keto / ultra low carb diet. Then I just plugg along steady everything
Hope that helps!
It’s called the low carb flu. Takes a week or so to switch over to fat burning. Try adding avocado as some fat. For me it gives me more energy than other fats. Also add salt to foods or drink broth with butter/ ghee and salt in the morning. Lc is dehydrating by nature so you need to replenish your electrolytes as your urine is excreting them.It does, very much, thanks.

I just happened to see this interview with Dr. Rob Lustig earlier today @benjo123456 . It explains the phenomenon very nicely:Why would a sugar rush make me feel so bad? I thought it would make me happy, not emotional.
