Hi all, just when I think I have a handle on this fructose intolerance thing......... most of my food intake is meat, beef or chicken, but it gets boring so I'll try to supplement it with white rice, pasta, potatoes or potato chips, but I can feel the effects the next day or sooner. A couple of days ago, after a week of nothing but meat I tried some chips, Lays Classic, just potatoes, oil and salt , within 2 hours I passed what I had eaten , not quite diarrhea, but close. As for pasta or white rice I'll feel some brain fog or fatigue or irritable. So my thinking is my gut is just real sensitive and will be until it heals or something along those lines, from all the posts and articles I've read I know its an individual thing, trial and error. Any comments? Suggestions ?
Edit, Also having been a card carrying Junk Food Junkie all my life, to satisfy my sweet tooth, I've tried Pixie Stix and Smarties , I like them but they aren't to fond of me, I get a little hyper then brain fog and fatigue

Hi Bob,
Hmmmm, not sure. I could be wrong, but I didn't think plain pasta or rice had any fructose in it, so maybe you have something else going on there? Maybe some other metabolic response? I have a co-worker who gets the whole brian fog/fatigue thing going on just from carbs, so maybe it's similar???
Wish I could help more.

Hi Julienc, thanks for the response, it's not much but white rice and pasta do have some fructose. According to the USDA web site elbow macaroni has .03 grams fructose per 100 grams, lol thats not much at all. Guess I'll just have to keep experimenting, thanks.
Bob

Hi Fred, long story short, I do take vitamin, mineral and oil supplements, as for an all meat diet being unhealthy, I didn't just decide to do this on the spur of the moment, I've been at it awhile and so far it passes the scientific method/ repeatable. The Inuit/Eskimo people lived on nothing but meat/blubber, no amber waves of grain up there, granted they ate their meat raw thus not killing of the nutrients.
As for doctors, they are just people, the sheep skin doesn't mean they know what they are doing, in the US they "accidentally" kill about 120,000 people a year, OOOOPPPPS. The last "heath care professional" I spoke with, a physicians assistant, looked me in the eye and with a straight face told me there is no such thing as hypoglycemia. I have read your story, I think you were real lucky to have met the right doc, I use the word lucky for lack of any better word, its a crap shoot.
The oil in the chips ( sunflower) could be the problem, but boiled skinless white potatoes will leave me feeling a little off the next day.
Well, xin loi, thanks for the input, I'll just have to keep experimenting.

I've never been fond of boiled potatoes. My dietician said it could be due to the small amount of sugar in them and reassured my mother that if I didn't want them, I shouldn't have to eat them. Hooray for her! ;D I used to eat raw potatoes though, which probably is because when you boil something, the sweeness (if any) becomes more intense. I don't know if this is only the taste or if something really happens with the sugars. |
