[QUOTE="SarahTee, post: 2190401, member: 518070"] Hello everyone, I am new here. I have been having some postprandial symptoms that seem hypoglycemia-like. I am going through this with GP and specialists, but it has taken nearly a year to finally get to an endocrinologist. So while the medical investigation proceeds at a glacial pace, I was thinking of trying a low-carbohydrate diet off my own bat. Here's the problem: I am vegetarian, cannot eat eggs (except in small amounts), and cannot eat high-fibre foods (e.g. lentils, chickpeas, hardcore salad stuff). (The egg and fibre thing relate to bowel surgery that I had many years ago.) Is it possible to eat a low-carbohydrate diet with these restrictions? I have tried and failed several times as I am stumped at what to eat and I live in a small town so no suitable take-away or restaurant options. I just got overwhelmed trying to prepare meals from scratch. Breakfast in particular is a problem - no fruit, no toast, no porridge, no eggs. What to eat? Plus I always feel a bit queasy so there's no way I could chomp down on a plate of stirfry first thing! I guess I am prepared to go non-veg to see if the change in diet helps. I would really appreciate your advice. Have tried one dietitian but she wasn't any help. A, gradually reading through thread and learning a lot. Cheers, Sarah [/QUOTE]
