[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 2512717, member: 88961"] Now, to be clear, I am not making any sort of diagnosis, but were I a betting person, I would bet you have some food intolerances, triggering these symptoms. That eating causes symptoms, then your body goes into overdrive trying to cope with the assault of whatever it is that doesn't agree with you. I am a long-term (8yrs+) low carber. I'm well and content on it on it. Due to something else, I had a raft of blood tests, including a coeliac panel, which was "just" negative - in other words I had antibodies (- many, MANY folks do), but at a level just a bit below diagnostic thresholds. The Endo I see suggested I adopt a strictly gluten-free diet. Being low carb, my gluten intake was already minimal and(, with his support), I had not gluten loaded in the lead up to the test. Cutting to the chase, despite denying I had any symptoms of gluten intolerance prior to going GF, it became clear after a couple of months I was feeling better, and if I do have gluten by mistake, my symptoms are Crushing, crushing fatigue Headache Joint pain Constipation, then around 3 days later, that resolves,........ enthusiastically (yes, that is what I mean). Bering a low carber, my blood glucose is regularly in the 3s and if I am very hungry I dip into the 2s. Generally, I feel absolutely fine on those numbers, although if I do see a number with a leading 2, I am usually very hungry. That hunger is because I am hungry and need my next meal, not as a result of the 2. It's a chicken and egg situation. Again, I stress I am not diagnosing you with anything, but asking you to open your mind to the bigger picture. Vis-a-vis sweet cravings? I am fortunate never to have had a particularly sweet tooth, so I can literally have chocolate sitting in front of me for months and never feel the need to consume it. In fact, it is a matter of mirth I have a pack of Hotel Chocolate 85% chocolate batons of near antique status. I like savoury things, but even those cravings abate once routine of eating well to a satiated state is adopted. The flavours and seasonings I can get on low carb food, so I just don't bother. If my OH has crisps (or my favourite Kettle Chips), I might steal the odd one (provided they are gluten free - many seasonings aren't), and just move along. I'm not sure if that helps you a lot.
