I feel really bad....

[albs75]

I am on day 3 of induction and I feel really bad. I am on an emotional rollercoaster and I feel very bloated (I'm drinking tons of water), my face is all puffy...urg.

Anyone else start out this way and then turn a corner? I'm not going to give up but I really hate feeling this way. It feels as if my blood sugar is really low. I'm trying to have a small induction friendly snack or meal every couple of hours to stabalize...

What you're experiencing is perfectly normal -- it's called induction flu. Just hang in there -- and you'll feel much, much better in a just another couple of days.

Re: I feel really bad....

Tnak you for that link Adena. That helped a lot. Good news is that I'm not hungry at all today. The bad news is I can't concentrate on my work at all. I feel really foggy.

I think that my withdrawl is worse this time because I was eating a lot more carbs than ususal before starting. I had to have a test for Celiac and therefore had to eat a plenty of wheat to make sure I was "glutonated". This made me crave more sugar and well, with the holidays, I just went a little crazy.

The board is a real help! It is my new addiction

Thanks EVERYONE for your posts is is REALLY appreciated!
