Diet / Nutrition :: Sugar Feeds Inflammation
Dec 29, 2015
I started a food diary and just wondering if what I am learning is common.
I have been told that many of my ailments are from inflammation. Ankle, hip, knee, back etc. I was told to start taking care of my gut and it would fix the rest of my body.
Anyway step 1 was to create a food diary. So what I am learning is that very quickly (like within 5 - 10 minutes) of eating sugar, my pain sky rockets.
And after taking an anti-inflammatory pill my pain goes away very quickly, like 5-10 minutes.
Yes I know that sugar feeds inflammation and I should avoid it.
What I am wondering is the timing odd?
I would not have anticipated sugar or a medication to have that immediate of results.
During my life I have taken anti-inflammatory pills a few times and really never found them to do much. Until today.

I was wondering what type of ways you guys use to boost your energy throughout the day, whether its coffee, energy drinks, exercise, vitamins, etc. And how effective are these for you? What are negative side effects that you do not like from your energy booster?

I would figure good nutrition (less sugar, less white flour, less processed foods, less trans fat, and more fruits, vegetables, whole grains) is a good idea. It is a good idea if there are no sciatica problems.
But if you have any cause - effect food insights or if you know of any particularly helpful foods.

I usually don't eat chinese food, mainly because my stomach HATES it. But, it does taste good, so last night I decided to get some.
My sleep schedule is a bit messed up right now, so I woke up at around 4pm, and got my Chinese at 6pm, so I literally had only been awake for about 2 hours. I got Sesame Chicken with some white rice, but ended up not really eating the rice.
After a few bites, I realized I was extremely tired. Like, I could've fallen asleep eating. I ate until I was satisfied, but really, that wasn't much, not even half of what I got. I put my chicken away, then went back to playing video games, and fell asleep while playing. It was only for about an hour, but still, It was weird.
This afternoon, I woke up, got myself my leftovers, heated them up, and again, a few bites in, and i'm practically asleep.
Is there something in Chinese food that makes people tired?

This is my first post here, im a 14 year old male, 175 pounds (and losing weight at a steady pace, i've been working out since i was fat and 210 pounds a few months ago), and about 6 feet tall (i play basketball) and i want to know if i eat a large amount of fruits or vegetables i can get unhealthy. i eat maybe about a stalk or two of celery, a handful of baby carrots, an apple or an orange, a pear, about an eighth of a watermelon, a couple strawberries (maybe), yogurt, sometimes a vine of grapes, some sweet peppers and a plum or peach every day or two, just as snacks. i very rarely eat sweets although i occasionally eat meat and cheese during meals, and some eggs or grain/oats/whatever cereal for breakfast. i don't really follow the 8 glasses of water a day, i just drink when im thirsty tbh. i workout about 4-6 days a week and play basketball, and i've been wanting to know if this may be too much food for one day, and if this can make me unhealthy or fat.

Have you ever heard about dried sugar causing a lot of fatigue etc the day after eating?
I hardly eat any sugar (if any at all really apart from proper fruit), however I do like nut and dried fruit bags as a snack.
However I find that the day after I eat a bag of these, I am very fatigued and crabby.
My diet consists of fruit, veg, whole wheat pastas, beans/legumes, nuts, weetabix, fish etc.
I don't even drink nowadays!
The dried fruit thing has been something I have questioned for a loooong time but no one has agreed with my view.
My thinking is that because I eat such a low sugar diet, my body is shocked when it is subjected to so much sugar in one sitting - hence a sort of comedown/hangover the next day.

I have uric acid kidney stones and recently I had Ureteroscopy to remove one. Actually when they got in there they couldn't find it in the ureter as the CT scan had shown so we don't know what happened to it.
I'm disappointed that I had the stone as I had been on a low purine diet which includes very little meat (6oz a day).
After this bout, I tripled my efforts, stopped all sugar intake unless it was natural in foods, no added salt and meat 6oz or less 2 times a week only.
Several weeks followed since the Ureteroscopy and the extreme diet change and my eyesight changed where I could not see out of my contacts or glasses. In fact, my eyesight changed 3 steps for the better and had to get new eyeglasses and contacts.
I'm also now taking twice a day Urocit-K (potassium citrate).
I wanted to know a baseline for my sugar and potassium so they did bloodwork and sugar was 145 which doesn't sound right, it should be lower and in the 65-100 range. My eye doctor said my vision shift was consistent with lower blood sugar.
My AST was 64, should be 13-40 and my ALT was 70 which should be 7-52.
For one thing I'm wondering if having the blood tests about 4 weeks after the Ureteroscopy may have skewed the results of the blood test but also what caused the drastic eye change, it was quite an extreme diet change for sure and the eyesight has stabilized and I continue to stay on the diet. I've also lost about 25 pounds in the last few months on the low purine diet. I also drink lots of water, no soft drinks, only unsweat tea on occasion.
The last CT scan before starting the Urocit-K still showed kidney stones in my kidneys which I had been on the low purine diet and I have more than before I was on the diet which doesn't make sense.
All these changes doesn't add up. Why more kidney stones? Am I starving for no reason as I can't eat hardly anything on this extreme low purine diet? What's up with the vision change and elevated blood levels?
