Hi Max
You say that when you start eating carbs you can feel your blood sugar spike and that you gain about a lb a day.
What kind of carbs do you eat when this happens - maybe if you start with the ones that are low on the gylcemic index it would go easier on you. Then you could slowly work your way up to carbs that are a bit higher on the index. I will get a link to the GI for you and post it here. The low carbs on the GI are green veggies and some fruits, then mid way are legumes and grains, Definite no nos are sugar, corn, potatoes, white rice and others. Theres a lot more to it than that - like combining a low GI with a High GI to reduce the damage done by the higher index food. This combining is not advisable until you have stabalized yourself.
The 1lb a day weight gain might be the water retention that happens when carbs are added back to the diet, remember those water pounds you lost the first few days? That's them coming back.
