Topic: RE: POST GASTRIC BYPASS (RNY) SURGERY HYPOGLYCEMIA

almost 14 years post op RNY.

Just diagnosed by my endocrinologist with post gastric bypass hypoglycemia. It's a thing. Google it. I think I may have had this for years. My DH has DM2, so I had a BG monitor available. Back in May, I felt weird. Dizzy, lightheaded, vision was wonky, confused. BG was 39. In July or August- similar symptoms-BG 50,57. Also in August I felt what I've always called dumping syndrome. Checked BG on two different occasions- 278, 270.

I saw my primary. Labs were good, A1C normal. She sent me to endo doc. He suspected this syndrome. I had a continuous glucose monitor on for 12 days. It was the Freestyle Libre PRO monitor. My #s were all over the place. 40's - 250's+. Mostly during the day, also they dipped & spiked some at night too. It's NOT diabetes, but the treatment is similar. Diet (low glycemic index diet)/exercise/check BG. I have a BG monitor AND I'm getting a freestyle libre so I don't have to stick my finger so often, and can see at a glance what my approximate BG is.

no sweets or alcohol. EVEN ULTRA BEER! I said"but it's only 2.6 grams of carbs!!!" She explained about the sugar alcohols.

So...if these measures don't correct the problem, I'll have to go on meds which doc wants to avoid.

Topic: RE: Almost 10 years out

I hope you see this. I realize your post is about 3 years old.

I'm 11 years out. I have both Whole 30 books & tried it for 3 weeks. Stopped because of NO energy. I'm sure I wasn't doing it right & not eating enough. I'd appreciate knowing your experience with it. I'm having health problems that have stumped the doctors. I'm seeing a gastroenterologist. In fact, I'm getting scoped tomorrow.
