I’m not sure what reactive hypoglycemia entails, but if I use sugar or ingest MSG or some types of preservatives, my heart skips and I get weird. (Ketchup really does me in.) Honey does not have this effect on me. Good raw honey contains probiotics and does not affect sugar levels the same way as other carbs like white sugar.
The SCD diet book is well worth a read by anyone with autoimmune disease. It explains the difference in types of sugars and why honey is ok to use.
The SCD diet limits the diet to easily digestible sugars such as very ripe fruits and honey (when used in moderation.) Because these carbs are digested - they do not promote bad yeast; they don’t lie in the intestinal tract feeding the bad yeast.
There are some foods that Atkins allows, that SCD does not, which will cause inflammation. I would think, since the two diets are so close, that if you added in the 24 hour fermented yogurt to Atkins, and eliminate those foods not on SCD diet, that would work well to eliminate yeast.
Studies have shown that carbs that are not digested promote celiac disease, milk intolerance, cystic fibrosis, UC, IBD, and other autoimmune diseases.
If you want to lose weight, you should avoid or limit honey and eat lower carb fruits.
In my opinion, the yeast syndrome is a bunch of hogwash! If you eat the 24 hour yogurt, (which is a probiotic) and limit your carbs, that will clear up any yeast troubles you have without expensive supplements or taking any strange oils to kill the bad yeast. The trick is to promote a balance of good/bad bacteria, not kill off all of them, which is what most yeast treatments do, including meds from a doctor. I was told years ago, not to take any more antibiotics because my kidney shut down from my family doctor over-prescribing antibiotics for most of my life – the ER doc told me, if I really needed antibiotics one day, they probably would not work if I continued to take them for every cold that drifted by.
Since I have used the yogurt, I no longer get colds, sinus infections or the flu, and I was sick every other week before. This yogurt also helped me cure a developing ulcer in my stomach. I know a few women who swear by this yogurt who suffered for years with bladder, urinary tract, kidney, and yeast infections. If you take antibiotics, it kills the good bacteria too and sets you up for re-infection. You need to put the good bacteria back into your body consistently in order to get well. (Some probiotics can be used as a douche to clear up internal yeast infections and my daughter has done this a few times successfully)
I also suffered from chronic back, neck, hip and shoulder pain and my doctor said I had a short walk to go before he diagnosed me with fibromyalgia. When I stopped using seed oils, all my pain went away! I only use cold pressed coconut oil & olive oil, and butter. When I hit a Wendy’s or McDonalds (which uses seed oils) my pain comes back.
I have read such horrible things about the oils the average person consumes; all of them lead to chronic inflammation - because they are so high in omega 6s.
I recently stopped buying regular meats and now I only buy “grass fed (80-90%)” milk, butter, cheese, and beef; which are high in omega 3s and low in 6s. (Bought at health food store) This has made a big impact on my energy, balance, sleeping, clear mindedness, mood, and belly fat! Years ago, all the animal products contained high levels of omega 3s and low 6s naturally, now most of them have barely discernable traces of omega 3s unless they are raised with little grains, corn, and soy and they are mostly grass fed. I guess if we don’t eat wheat, our food shouldn’t either.
I hope this helps and I hope it wasn't too much information!
