For over a week now I've been really hyper-sensitive to sugar. I can't put any in my tea, and I even have energy crashes when I eat bread. I've been crashing up to three times a day. Yesterday I got a gift from a friend I hadn't seen in several months - a fudge brownie from a gourmet bakery. I took a courtesy bite, and it tasted indescribably foul. This situation is starting to make me nervous.
I feel like I don't know what to eat any more. I don't want bread at all. Every energy crash sends me deeper into the protein sector of my diet - lots of burgers and protein/green shakes. I've also made a lot of omelets. I do have a big bag of fresh spinach and lots of fresh fruit, and I take a multi. I have a big pan of brown rice that I've been using to pad out a couple of chicken stews from my freezer.
I mentioned all this to my MA teacher the other day, and he made the interesting point that the training has increased my own body awareness exponentially (no kidding!) So it may be that nothing has actually changed internally, but that I'm more able to discern signals that my body has been sending me all along.
Naturally I went to my doctor, and she's ordered some blood work to rule things out - anemia, hypoglycemia, a few other factors. My city YMCA has a nutritionist on staff, so I've scheduled a meeting with her too.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Especially on the "what to eat" conundrum.
Thanks in advance,
