[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2252458, member: 85785"] Hi and welcome to the forum. I have reactive hypoglycaemia, and I have heard of idiopathic postprandial syndrome. Both have very similar symptoms but different outcomes. All the symptoms you are having and more, are typical reactive hypoglycaemia, but if you don't get the hypos, then that is the syndrome. We have our own forum, there is a lot of information on Reactive Hypoglycaemia. There is a thread in the forum somewhere titled idiopathic post prandial syndrome, that I started when I was discovering papers and research on Reactive Hypoglycaemia. If you have either of the conditions, then dietary intake is really important. You have received the usual medical advice about diet from your doctors, which is the usual eat complex carbs, eat low GI, eat often and so on. The problem with both conditions is that you are carb intolerant. Your body has a reaction to carbs which is because their is an imbalance in how your insulin deals with the glucose derived from carbs. After carbs your body has firstly too much glucose, then because of what is known as an overshoot, too much insulin, which drives down blood glucose levels. This does cause anxiety, I know what that feels like. I suffered from anxiety until I discovered the link between fluctuations in blood glucose levels and the symptoms I was getting including anxiety. Until I found out what foods where causing the symptoms, I didn't have a clue what was happening. So I used a blood glucose monitor to see what was happening, the answer was it was any carbs, regardless of how low GI they were they still triggered the the reaction and the symptoms. So after much trial and error, I decided to eat to my meter, and avoid any food that caused the symptoms. This worked! So, for the last six years, I have eaten a Keto diet and the majority of symptoms have gone, I don't have the hypos and I have recovered my health, I work full time, I have really good control. Do read the threads on our forum. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
