usually am low carb (less than 100 g a day of good carbs- for yrs, other than a cheat here or there)...recently when i cheat i notice i get SO muscle sore, sometimes within the hr...what are the theories behind this...i know sugar is inflammatory, but is that it...it almost feels like a herx, whereby the bacteria come out to eat the sugar and get zapped ( i think the idea behind stevia is related)...or could it be candida? or adrenals? or blood sugar swings? i notice i get real tired of lunch as well

Stevia breaks biofilms -- I've never read anything saying sugar does that. It does feed the Lyme, but that wouldn't have such a fast result.

My joints get stiff and sure if I eat sugar, and I've been attributing it to the inflammation.

Our reaction to foods / additives / spices / herbs is different for everybody despite the more popular ones we know about.

Some foods release cytokines per our individual make up. This is actually measurable by the Mediator Response Test for individual foods (rates said food on an increasing cytokine scale). Instead of guessing whats "inflammatory" (just a generic term), this shows proof with measured cytokine releases if there is any. The real deal at last.

Added Cane sugar, will release cytokines in many people. In my MRT test, it was one of the top five offenders. Maple sugar additive can have the same response in some individuals. This test did not test sugar beet sugar- it should have!

For some reason fruits with their individual natural sugar content don't seem to do this. However, some can, again based on individual response. Remember sugar cane, is a cane or reed, not a fruit or veggie.

As you can see, I've done this as a guide to my personal diet, and it was very interesting.

I get sick whenever I eat anything with carbs in it now. I went to subway for the first time in a year and it knocked me down for 24 hours.

thats what im saying oregonhay...so weird...just was wondering the mechanism....felt like a herx to me...did the sugar bring the bugs out of hiding? i usually give them very little they like to eat...other than my myelin sheath

it is weird
if I eat a regular meal with carbs, I am bedsick
if I eat just a donut on an empty stomach, I am fine
if I eat a regular or extra large meal with zero carbs, I am totally fine.

at first I thought it was all the blood rushing to my stomach to digest the food. But I proven that isn't it by gorging on massive amount of meat and veggies. Then I tried a meal with carb (just bread), and even a regular or mid-to-small size meal -> instant fatigue, have to rest.

One donut, fine.

here's the real "problem"
If I don't eat at all, I am not hungry. After 24-48 hours, I feel more energy. I am able to go a week then I get scared.
So I am stuck, against my will, eating zero-carb. But a donut or candy bar is fine. Also I am never hungry. I've lost 50+ pounds. If somebody asks me how I lost my weight, I guess I'll have to tell them: Candy, donuts, sticks of butter, coconut oil, and gorging on 1-2lb roasts/steaks/chicken with some veggies for taste... and going for a week without eating once and a while because I get more energy (??).

everything is the opposite.
