Change sugar and carbs to fat diet. Morning bacon and eggs, lunch meat like pork chop without carbs like potato, can add broccoli. Dinner more meat.

Sugar will kill you eventually, better to change diet before it get even worse.

Your taste is accustomed to a bad diet, mostly the high sugar. Time for a change.

When people transition to quality veggies, greens, fruits, veggie fats ,etc. and avoid added sweeteners in all food choices, eventually they should lose the attraction to sugar and in many cases become repulsed by it. A cinnamon roll with icing would be inedible for me, unless starving!

I lost my health insurance after exhausting my life-savings on the premiums for coverage I couldn't use anyway thanks to the insane deductible - about a year ago (next month will be 1 year with no health insurance), but every year up until that time - I had a complete annual physical exam with all the blood tests done and every year it always came back normal with no thyroid or blood sugar issues.

Has anyone heard of anything like this or experienced anything similar? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
If it makes you feel bad, and you want to stop feeling bad, don’t eat it.

My blood levels come back normal too, but there’s no denying what happens when I eat certain foods. I don’t have a medical diagnosis, but I follow a low FODMAPs diet, and if I stick to it, I don’t have gut symptoms.

OP, in your shoes, I’d try an anti-inflammatory elimination diet and see what happens. There are lots of protocols around, look in your local library.

And yes, if I eat too much simple carbs in one go, I do indeed experience what you’re experiencing. You’re going to have to find out for yourself exactly what sets you off.

It's called dumping syndrome: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumping_syndrome

"Dumping syndrome occurs when food, especially sugar, moves too quickly from the stomach to the duodenum."

"The symptoms of early and late dumping syndrome are different and vary from person to person. Early dumping syndrome symptoms may include:[1]
nausea
vomiting
abdominal pain and cramping
diarrhea
feeling uncomfortably full or bloated after a meal
sweating
weakness
dizziness
flushing, or blushing of the face or skin
rapid or irregular heartbeat

The symptoms of late dumping syndrome may include:[1]
hypoglycemia
sweating
weakness
rapid or irregular heartbeat
flushing
dizziness"

I eat "clean" most of the time but I haven't lost my attraction to sugar at all and neither am I repulsed by it. Sweets aren't the devil but as with anything overconsumption leads to issues.


We all have vices.


I don't believe in elimination, I believe in moderation.


I eat a lot of sugary stuff on my weekly cheat day, but I follow that up with clean eating and an intense workout. eating clean flushes me out and the workout burns the glycogen that's stored up due to the excess carbs.

This morning I had potatoes, eggs, blueberries and vanilla yogurt. Same result. In fact, I am a lot worse than yesterday. Felt fine before I ate, have been sick with all the same symptoms pretty much from about 30 minutes after eating and lasting for the last 6+ hours now. There is definitely something wrong but with no insurance - I don't know what to do. Maybe go to Walmart and see if I cant find a cheap blood pressure monitor and cheap blood sugar monitor? I don't know if my blood sugar is too high, too low and same with the blood pressure. But whatever the problem is - it is definitely related to eating. I can barely stand up or walk across the room.

One big one dripping with frosting would be quite the sugar bomb, but TWO in one sitting? (insert non-existent gagging emoji here). The regional airport I fly out of has one of those Cinnabon stands on the concourse my flights usually depart from. Just the odor is bad enough. After wolfing down that much sugar (often with an oversized coffee or latte) those people should be able to fly to their destinations without the plane.

That's a a big breakfast. Maybe part of this was overloading too much into your system at once especially if you've been fasting overnight. You know starch converts to glucose right? Maybe smaller simpler meals more often would help you metabolize it more easily.

personally, unless that's your main meal of the day, maybe your body is trying to tell you that's too much food. Make the berries half a cup. Vanilla yogurt, half a cup. Chances are the potatoes are fried and greasy, not baked. Cut them.

Then see how you feel.

I don't have those symptoms, but overeating on the wrong stuff makes me feel physically bad.

If you say that eating "lame" stuff doesn't cause you gastric distress, then you should eat far more of the lame stuff and less of the stuff that causes you distress.

Does this happen for breakfast only or at every meal? I really can’t have a huge breakfast. A “big” breakfast for me is a bagel (with light butter) or two pieces of toast, a banana, and a tiny glass of orange juice. Are you having 2 eggs or just one?
