And only if you get tested for it, would I be taking cortisol.In some metabolic conditions, gastric dumping or gastric emptying or low initial insulin response or insulin resistance will cause symptoms, because the symptoms are not only derived from carbs but from your blood glucose levels on a rollercoaster ride, up and down every time you have carbs. The body's own natural homeostasis, works to correct any imbalance, but it does not correct dysfunction or dysregulation of hormones.Control of my condition is quite easy, once you know what to avoid, and I use intermittent fasting to help not to put pressure on my bg levels. I have a window of a few hours each day, when I eat one or two meals a day, that is if I want to. I never stick to meal times, it is far too much food and not having that first meal is taking the anxiety of what happens later and being in control.Do have a read of our low carb forum and there is another website we recommend, because going low carb is a lifestyle change.Dietdoctor.com is a great resource, and there is great recipes.Keep safe, keep askingBest wishes</blockquote>
