When I first got ill, I quickly learned that I became intolerant to sugars very quickly leading me to believe I was hypoglycemic initially. Blood sugar tests proved otherwise. I heard many good things about the keto diet so I thought to give it a shot. I must say that it was probably the one diet that has helped me the most. My fatigue lessened, had way more energy, could think clearly, just felt way better. I did lose some weight but my body then stayed stable. I think it was starving whatever pathogen was in my body making me feel better as well.
However my doctors were concerned about it and thought there was absolutely no reason I should be on it. They also said I was completely normal and I could eat anything I want because I'm young. So I listened to their advice almost half believing it. I began eating "healthy" junk food such as organic chips and snacks. Also lots of dark chocolate. I quickly detiorated and have been stuck in a hole ever since. I have so many food intolerances and have kept losing weight despite eating carbs. I am now very underweight and can't afford to lose any more.
My question is do you think it's possible to go on a modified keto diet that's not as strict and still be okay weight wise? I know these are questions for my doctors but they don't understand this illness and weren't big proponents of keto in the first place? I'm just trying to survive at this point.
