Question of the Week |
|
Question:
"To whom it may concern, I don't know if you can help me. No one else
has, but I have a question for you. I went to China this summer and
looking back was severely malnourished. That is, I ate a lot of rice
and not a lot else. Now, I get these really bad headaches unless I eat
red meat or bacon at just about every meal. Also, I think sugar might
cause me to get headaches. I thought I might have hypoglycemia because
unless I spread out my meals like 6 small ones a day, I have no
energy. All of my tests have been normal like blood sugar, protein
level, endocrine tests. etc. If you have any knowledge that could help
me, I would owe you my sanity. Thanks so much for your time.
Sincerely, Ashley" |

Answer:
Dear
Ashley, Thank you for contacting Health Pro PLus. From your
description it sounds like you have a good handle on what may be
reactive hypogylcemia. It is not a disease, it is a condition that can
develop for unknown reasons that can make you feel miserable as you
have experienced. The meat and/or bacon at each meal is giving you
protein and fat, both of which help keep blood sugar stable. Healthier
sources of these protein are fish, egg whites, poultry and legumes.
Keep your meat lean. healthier sources of fat than bacon are avocado,
almonds, walnuts and a little olive oil. I would avoid refined sugars
and flours and if you do eat them , pair them with some protein and a
healthier type of fat. Also, continue to eat frequent small meals
throughout the day. Ashley, on-line consultations are limited and an
in-person visit with a health professional like myself would be
optimal, this does not replace that. If you are in the Chicagoland
area and have any additional questions or concerns, my office is in
Skokie. And, please feel free to write-in and let me know how you are
doing. Thank you again.
Sincerely,
JoEllen Kaufman, MS, LDN |
