[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1700754, member: 94045"] It all depends when your liver dump happens. If it happens during the night there isn't much you can do. If it happens when you get up and start moving about, you can minimise it by eating something fatty as soon as you get up. Personally I have a coffee with a good serving of double cream before I do anything else. This works for me, plus I don't eat any breakfast - next food is lunch time. When I was experiencing liver dumps after getting up I found that eating any carbs at all just added to the problem. It was a mixture of liver dump and glucose from the carbs. However, I tend not to do any exercise in the mornings other than a dog walk late morning. (and that includes housework, which I save for the afternoons). You just need to discover if you do have a problem of it rising after you get up, and then experiment. Some people say it depends on how late you eat your evening meal - and what you eat, but to me that isn't a liver dump, it is late digestion and normal glucose from the previous meal. [/QUOTE]
