In reply to Fatigue after eating?, posted by Regis Harold on October 15, 2005, at 15:46:45
It's important to realise that most people with symptoms of hypoglycemia are most likely oversensitive to the effects of lowER blood sugar. They don't actually have low blood sugar.
Also, people who are diabetic who have low blood sugar sometimes don't even realise it. Everyone seems to vary in their physical and mental response to a slight decrease in blood sugar.
It's possible that your blood sugar never actually gets very low, just that you really FEEL when your blood sugar gets a little low. This is very true for me. My blood sugar is always fairly stable, but with a gigantic carb meal, I feel very sleepy, sometimes with anxiety and shakiness and the whole 9 yards.
Food "allergies", as a food allergy is normally defined , will almost never cause fatigue. However, delayed allergic-like reactions mediated by a different part of the immune system than normal allergies can cause fatigue. As I have said to many people that post here, I am extremely sensitive to gluten and dairy. The reaction to these, however, is not acute. On the other hand, I am acutely sensitive to yeast and rice. I get heart palpitations and fagigue.
Hope this info helps you a little.
