[QUOTE="DaisyChloe, post: 2287092, member: 506290"] Hi [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] Thanks for your message. It seems I do not understand low-carb... Fruit and veg both fall into the carbohydrate category. So you are suggesting low-GI fruit and veg but cutting out all other carbs? I guess I also don't want to commit to a major change until I definitely know what's causing it. RH is a symptom of something - and I understand that my pancreas is overreacting by producing too much insulin, but [B]why [/B]is it doing that? And when I say I want to try low-GI before low-carb, I feel like that is a sensible approach. I have been living with this since childhood and I don't think a few more weeks or months of gradual changes will be my undoing. I just read this article which is pretty useful: [URL]https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/low-glycemic-diet#factors-affecting-gi[/URL] and it explains that you can still raise your BGLs if you have too much of something which is low GI. The thing I'm feeling anxious about is how complex my diet and the restrictions will be as some of the recommendations for RH contradict the recommendations for GI problems associated with Ehlers Danlos like low fodmap. But anyway I will let you know what the dietitian says on Thursday. I know the changes are necessary for my health but I'm finding it a little overwhelming. [/QUOTE]
