finally, an answer…
Gastric Bypass, weight loss February 17th, 2008All of this time, I thought I was experiencing dumping syndrome, but have discovered I have reactive hypoglycemia, due to my gastric bypass.
Reactive hypoglycemia occurs soon after meal rich with carbohydrates. It happens in several conditions:
1. Very fast glucose absorption due to total or partial stomach removal (gastric bypass);
2. Congenital fructose intolerance;
3. Leucin intolerance, and
4. Idiopathic type (probably psychosomatic).
Although symptoms vary according to individuals’ sensitivity to the elevation and decline of glucose levels, some of the more common symptoms are:
- fatigue
- dizziness
- light-headedness
- sweating
- headaches
- palpitations
- depression
- nervousness
- irritability
- tremors
- flushing
- craving sweets
- increased appetite
- rhinitis
- epileptic-type response to rapidly flashing bright lights
Thank you Melting Mama for introducing me to this phenomenom, now I can understand it!
If anyone else has any information, I would be very happy if you could contact me.
