I've been suffering from hypoglycemia for a good part of my life, and recently the episodes have started to become a bit more frequent (a bad hypoglycemia episode is like an incredibly horrifying panic attack). Trying to figure out WTF is going on with me has been daunting, everyone tells me to eat more sugar or more complex carbs which just seems to repeat the cycle. No one wants to test me, or knows what to test me…

I occasionally get hypoglycemia. For me, it tends to be worse if I eat a lot of sugary foods the day prior and then go through a prolonged period of not eating. Like if I eat ice cream at night and then skip breakfast. One trippy thing to try is to go on a keto diet. When your body is in ketosis, it stops using glucose as an energy source, so you shouldn't get hypoglycemia. It's actually a strange feeling. In my case…

Sugar is 50% glucose / 50% fructose. GFCS is 40%/60% at worst, not a huge difference.

Humans didn't eat a lot of sugar until fairly recently, too. And even if you did, you'd have to be very, very rich to be eating it 3 meals a day. Now you can get sugary cereal for breakfast, sandwich bread with HFCS for your lunchtime sammo, and a curry jam packed with palm oil and sugar for dinner. And that doesn't count the cookies or Pepsi you slam in between. Raw sugar of HFCS -- don't matter none, it's that you'…

Seemingly intolerant to starches and sugar in general, leads to depression. Weirdly enough green stuff seems to give me panic attacks and suicidal ideation. Takes about 4 days to get into effect. Probably something to do with fermentation. Next one will be the 3rd Therapist, this time she's also a general practicioner. There are all kinds of doctors on youtube talking about this, but haven't found one in Germany who…

Oh wow, that sounds incredibly frustrating. It seems wise to consider that it might be a fermentation problem, perhaps a serious imbalance of microbes or something. Good luck. I dealt with GI issues that lead to both physical and psychological misery once (after repeated courses of antibiotics), and my advice is to hang in there — you could find something that works for you, even it takes a while.
