Cravings?

[Guest]

Kim,

 

Yes, I read that part about your son's diet and milk. I wanted to respond to the other question on there before about checking blood sugars levels. I know this is going to sound crazy considering I give myself six shots a week, but I don't think I could poke myself. I don't do well with blood. Anyway, I hadn't really thought about checking my levels before.

 

 

Patty,

 

Yes, I'm very sensitive and am supposed to be avoiding additives, msg, food colorings, etc. I do eat on the run a lot and it's sometimes difficult. We don't have a whole foods store in my city where I can go get a nice quick meal even if it would be cheating on allergy foods.

Carolyn,

 

I do understand about the blood testing.

 

I had wanted to explain in that first post (before edit) that I was reading a thread, that talked about people crashing from a blood sugar level of, say, 140 to something in the 80's. They were saying how your brain needs a certain amount of sugar, and how the sugar and carb cravings will hit. All I know is that my son seems to be grummmmpeee, when sugar or crackers/carbs are restricted.

 

I guess hypoglycemia, is an area that mainstream medical Dr.s don't really like to acknowledge????

 

I did just receive the Great Plains OAT and 24 hour urine amino acid collection, tests yesterday. I probably won't do the tests until next Sat. because of school.

 

We are not getting anywhere with new foods, as I've said before.

 

I need to find out, how much a part yeast may be playing. I've been so tempted to just start yeast treatment and see what happened, but something tells me, I should do this test first. I've never had a great deal of confidence in the test that I had done through Metametrix, which was boderline high for their yeast metabolite.

 

My Chiropractor is going to sign for the tests. I had asked him if he was able to sign for blood labs. He said our state is one, where Chiropractors are restricted in what is allowed of them, and that "no" he was unable to order blood work for me. Bummer. He has been a wonderful find though.

 

The girl I spoke with at Great Plains, said that the 24 hour amino acid test, would give the best overview of the 3 (single urine, blood, or 24 hour collection). That made me feel like it would be worth it, as I was always hung up on, blood or urine?
