Is this hypoglycemia or sugar intolerance?

Question

I eat very little refined sugars--mostly just honey. I eat veggies, rice, meat--all healthy. Anytime I eat more than one or two cookies sweetened with brown sugar, or a little too much honey (really not excessive amounts) in the evening, I get pulsations in my stomache, twitching muscles, have difficulty sleeping, and wake up with sore muscles, bloating, and a foggy feeling as if I haven't slept that stays with me all day--along with excessive hunger and/or an inability to eat much without getting bloated or having sympotoms recur. interesting, eh? I also have hypoglycemic symptoms from time to time, am hypothyroid with other food intolerances (milk, wheat, etc.) and underweight. 27 yr old female in distress.

Answer 1

Your digestive problems are probably caused by your hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism causes all body functions to slow down, which includes the digestive system.

Everyone's intestines are normally full of intestinal bacteria. And if for some reason your body doesn't digest your food well. Then these bacteria will digest the food for themselves, producing gas and other symptoms.

Here is a full description of the symptoms hypothyroidism can cause:

Answer 2

See you doctor. Explain all to him or her. Are you being treated for hypothyroid? Have med check if you are. Dose may not be adequate. If not definitely see doctor to get help. Made a world of difference for me.

Answer 3

The symptoms you are describing are not characteristic of hypoglycemia, but are completely consistent with carbohydrate intolerance.
