in cases like that, you might consider drinking your sugar - orange juice or gatorade or the dari-free I know you've got around ;-) drink in little sips, just a little tiny bit at a time, just like you've got the stomach flu. yeah, it sucks, A LOT. but, for me, liquid sugar works well enough to get me able to get actual food in, even if it's just something basic (shrimp and rice in lots of broth is often what my stomach goes for when it's unsettled, but we're all different on this one).

Pedilyte is one of the most disquatinng drinks I have ever tasted. :) I did send someone for gatorade though. They brough me onr called Rain. its 230 am, and I have succesfully kept it down since 10pm. Bearly though.

I think what happened was I had a hypoglycemia crash just before the symptons of the stomache virus hit. I was able finaly to get my BS up by eating recesses peanutbutter cups. Did not keep them down, but got enough out og them appearntly. I think if I make it to breakfast time, I will try that free ranage chicken broth we have. Maybe with some food for life brown rice bread. To scared to eat right now heh.

So much for getting better this week....

Was a bit scary till got my BS up, wife wanted to rush me to hosptial, but I refused. :D

Yep, nothing's scarier than the stomach flu when you're in danger of hypoglcemia...if I've ever had the flu bad enough that I can keep nothing down, I have to administer a Gravol suppository, and boy, they really work. The vomiting stops, quickly. Good to have on hand when very low blood sugars are a dangerous possibility. Nini's suggestion of popsicles is a great one...a diabetic's and hypo's best friend when a stomach bug rears its ugly head. Take care of yourself, Vincent...as well as this sudden flu, you've had quite a stomach-churning learning curve to deal with this week! :)

Hi all,

I've been following this thread (most of it) and I've been hypoglycemic for years and wanted to add something. I've learned that sometimes my sugar can be "normal" but if it falls too fast I still get the symptoms. For instance, if my blood sugar is at 90 and 10 minutes later it is at 75, I can have a full shakey crash even though 75 is considered normal.

Also, I tried eating the low carb diet - like you had yesterday and I think I almost died! :o I am now VERY careful to make sure I balance some carbs in with my protein. And if you want to reduce carbs do it gradually. For me I have found that change itself, even good change, can throw me into a crash.

Hope you get better soon, I know how scary it is. I hate feeling like I have no control, or if I do have control, I have NO IDEA what to do sometimes.

I've been reading this thread with interest because my husband also reacts strongly to changes in his blood sugar. We haven't actually tested the levels, but it's become obvious that he shouldn't either have a rapid lowering of it OR a rapid rise. He used to get sick when he had a long day, got very hungry, and then got home and ate a big meal too quickly. Now he starts with a bit of salad and carrots, and then starts to cook dinner. seems to be doing the trick so far...

HELP Im puking up anything I try to eat and sugar already low :( out of test strips now too .

That's why I keep coke or juice boxes around. I can't eat mid-crash or I'll throw up. Also, gatorade is sugary, but probably not sugary enough to bring you out of a crash unless you drink a lot of it, and then you'll throw up because you drank too much. It sucks. Go buy some juicy juice :)

do get some fat and/or protein into you with the carbs - you've got a lot of carbs again. depends on what your stomach will tolerate, of course. (this is why I keep the bags of frozen, precooked shrimp around. can't stand the smell of canned tuna when I'm sick, and don't want to deal with raw meats/eggs, so that's my meat choice.)

Wow, a reset button...how often do I wish I could be resetted?! Say, to back before I was seven, when all of my blood sugar concerns began. An erase button would be good, too. And my husband is all for a mute button... :angry:

WElp kept the tuna down, I think I am on the upswing side of this now... well at least the flu part. heh.

Now I just have to figure out how to make sure I get enough carbs, what enough carbs is, and how to make sure they are properly balnced with P/F... Ugh. *looks around for an easy button*

another reason I don't mind that my husband likes stir-fries so much. ;-) meat/veggies/rice, all in one spot. or beef stew. or chicken soup. or salads with meat. (that and we're too lazy to wash lots of dishes.)

Dont think I have tried making any stir fries.... any tips? :)

check my recipes post? ;-)

basic premise: make your vegetables and meat around the same size. cook your meat first, and cook your vegetables in the order of which ones can stand the head the longest. here's a very simple one:

cut up boneless chicken thighs into cubes (about four slices across the long way, and then into cubes)

cut up a red bell pepper into roughly 1" squares

wash about a pound of sugar snap peas (or snow peas, I think those are lower in sugar)

heat a 12" skillet (or a wok if you've got one), then add 2 tbsp canola oil (or chili oil). add chili flakes (if you've got 'em), then the chicken, stirring/flipping off and on until it's nearly cooked through, about six minutes. add a tablespoon or two of soy sauce (I think you're doing soy, if not, let me know and we'll go non-soy routes.) add the peas, and cook, stirring, until it's turning a brighter green and just barely cooked through, about three minutes. add the bell pepper, stirring for 30 seconds or so, and remove from the heat. all done, and only one pot and possibly two plates dirty.

other vegetables that work well for stir fries: bean sprouts, carrots, bok choy, onions, broccoli, zucchini, baby corn, and mushrooms. you can also add fresh (or dried) garlic or ginger or jalapeno (or other chili pepper). you can serve over rice (preferrably brown or wild), or eat on it's own if you put a lot of veggies in with it.

      Gluten Free Daily Vitamins for Kids w/ Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I haven't heard of them before, but a significant portion of dietary supplements are produced by a handful of large contract manufacturers. These companies have the facilities, expertise, and certifications to produce supplements at scale, making them attractive partners for brands that don’t have their own manufacturing capabilities. I doubt Forvia manufactures them directly, so it is hard to know if they are just doing clever marketing to a certain malabsorption crowd, or they actually have unique product.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      That’s an interesting observation! The timing you mention does raise questions about the relationship between modern wheat varieties and the emergence of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS). Norman Borlaug’s work on high-yield, disease-resistant wheat during the Green Revolution significantly increased global food production, but it also led to changes in the composition of wheat, including higher gluten content to improve baking qualities. While NCGS was formally recognized as a condition in the 2010s (https://bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1741-7015-10-13 and https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3820047/) , it’s important to note that the awareness and diagnosis of gluten-related disorders have evolved over time. Some researchers suggest that modern wheat breeding practices, along with changes in food processing and gut health, may contribute to the rise in gluten sensitivity. However, the exact mechanisms behind NCGS are still not fully understood, and it remains a debated topic in the scientific community. It’s also worth considering that increased awareness and improved diagnostic tools have played a role in identifying conditions like NCGS that may have existed but were previously unrecognized. The interplay between genetic, environmental, and dietary factors makes this a complex issue, and more research is needed to fully understand the connections.

      My Adult daughter is blaming me for her "possible" Celiac disease.

      By trents · Posted

      @Marie70, it is very important that your daughter not begin experimenting with eating gluten free until all testing for celiac disease is complete. Doing so will invalidate the testing. Normally, the testing involves two stages. The first stage is blood antibody testing as per the article linked by Scott above. As you can see from the article, there are a number of tests that can be ordered when diagnosing celiac disease but most physicians will not order a complete panel. At the very minimum, your daughter should request two antibody tests, "total IGA" and "tTG-IGA". The tTG-IGA is considered the centerpiece of celiac disease testing but if total IGA is low (i.e., if she is IGA deficient), this will result in an artificially low tTG-IGA score and possibly a false negative. Many general practitioners are not very knowledgeable about celiac disease testing so we have found we have to be a little assertive in order to get proper testing done. I don't know under the relational circumstances how much input you will have with your daughter about these things but I thought I'd pass the info on to you anyway. The second stage of celiac disease testing involves an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining which is then sent to a lab for microscopic analysis. This checks for damage to the small bowel lining and is confirmation if any of the blood antibody tests are positive. It is also considered to be the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. Again, should her antibody testing be positive, your daughter would still need to be consuming gluten until after the endoscopy/biopsy is complete.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By Klsdurbin · Posted

      No!!! Celiacs disease does not go away. You can’t outgrow it, and if all proper diagnostic procedures (blood test and endoscopy) were followed when you were 8, it’s almost impossible to be mis-diagnosed.    stoms and reactions to gluten do change over time, but the fact you have celiacs does not.    I think that a lot of people misunderstand that the goal to managing your celiacs is to eventually test negative for celiacs. This does not mean it went away, it means that your gluten-free diet is working and you’re no longer producing the anti-bodies that will wreak havoc on your health.    if you can access the medical records from when you were 8 and have a GI doctor review them, I would highly recommend you do this.
