[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1800690, member: 85785"] What type of yoghurt was this, low fat, no fat, full fat, with fruit? You might not get the answers you are looking for. I believe you are already on the right track by eliminating the food that is upsetting you. You have normal fasting blood levels, your hba1c is in normal levels, you don't have endocrine issues. But, your RH from your surgery, means that your pancreas overshoots insulin. If you are not aware, since surgery, you first insulin response has grown weak, hence the spikes, you either get glucose dumping or you get a secondary insulin response which is the overshoot. Only when you don't trigger the secondary response do you avoid the after effects of RH. This is achieved as you have already discovered is by your food list. I have searched for years trying to find any research, but to no avail, I have read articles which misunderstand how it can be so horrible because of the normal health advice which doesn't take in to account why certain foods have to be avoided, how certain fats, certain so called healthy foods are not healthy for us. How processed foods have to be put back on the shelf. Why we have to cook from scratch to make certain that what we eat won't effect our health. Why we have to shop and recognise bad ingredients, even what or when it is beneficial to fast, if we can. There is no magic pill that will cure, though I take a drug (sitagliptin) that helps with spikes, but not the hypos if I don't eat properly. Wether it is permanent, I have no idea, but I don't want to take the risk, my battle for nearly twenty years was my hypo hell period, I'm not going back to that. The good news, is it can be controlled and by control, your health should improve. Having your blood sugar levels being in normal levels more and more, or being in ketosis, it will improve your symptoms and your health. I know this, because that is what has happened to me, I have been in ketosis for four years (ish), no hypos! Excellent health and fitness. This is the way I would encourage and advise anyone having the symptoms and diagnosis of Hypoglycaemia. By the way, I'm dairy intolerant, have been since childhood, it has got to be the lactose, which triggers the symptoms and response. Best wishes [/QUOTE]
