Sorry for the TMI, but after 3 years of diarrhea, I&#8217;ve had enough. Also, I suddenly feel satisfied again. I used to eat and eat and eat until I was sick and still feel this overwhelming horrible NEED to eat more, more more! I get now that my body was deficient in lots of stuff because of malabsorption.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;ve been really good (until today, shame on me!) remembering to take my meds with every single meal. I started taking them last Friday, and my sugars are acting strangely. It seems like I&#8217;m suddenly less resistant to insulin &#8212; my highs fall faster, and sometimes lead to lows. I&#8217;ve had a low every single day since going on these meds, where I haven&#8217;t had a single one in over a month before this. I&#8217;ve actually  had a day this week with TWO lows under 50. I&#8217;m sure that this is now becoming a bad cycle, because my liver is probably depleted of glucose for now.<\/p>\n<p>It seems connected, but how could the meds be causing this? All they do is help me digest fat and protien (ironically, my carb-digesting enzyme, amalyse, works PERFECTLY WELL!!) &#8212; why would be able to metabolize more food help my sugars &#8212; and maybe help them a little too much?<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I&#8217;m now on pancreatic enzymes, because my lazy sack-of-crud pancreas won&#8217;t even help me digest food anymore.
