I can and I will describe my pre diagnosis of RH. And the symptoms of hunger, craving, even a desperation searching for something I could eat. No matter what I had ate, I still wanted more and more. My brain was aired to eat more regardless of how much I knew it was doing me no good. My head hurts at the front behind the eyes, my mouth was dry, my saliva overflowed and because of the metformin stomach growled and further down....................!
A couple of months before diagnosis, I was barely eating but I still craved but I would have a small meal and do a lot of walking either with the dog, the wife or just by myself to stop raiding the cupboard, I got very disciplined with what I was eating as I went over eighteen stone, regardless of how little I ate, I was still gaining weight.
As
@MrsA2 has quoted from the article. My body changed when I was in hospital for a fasting test. This was a diagnostic test to rule out other pancreatic conditions such as insulinoma or pancreatitis amongst others.
This four day fast rewired my head, my brain, my stomach, my craving and hunger went away. My desire for food went away and my weight dropped dramatically. Even a small bite was enough. The symptoms went and my brain fug cleared up so much. It was like switching on a closed part of my brain.
I would enquire about having tests.
I am non diabetic and I have a lot of food intolerance especially dairy and carbs and sugar.
Potatoes make me spike and hypo, so does any wheat product or grain.
I rely on meat and salad, with a few other foods, lots of eggs, a bit of fruit, mushrooms, toms, onions, everything cooked from fresh. I batch cook currys, soups and broths.
I have an intolerance to many oils, veg cooking oils, palm oil, and a lot of ingredients that are in manufacturing processed foods.
It is like, I am intolerant to modern food.
Just wishing for a chip buttie now! Ha!
