| Has he ever been tested for diabetes or other blood glucose conditions (Syndrome X, hypoglycemia, etc.)? Sounds like high-glycemic carbs may be the culprit. He may find simply choosing foods on the lower half of the Glycemic Index of Foods will help, as well as combining them with the appropriate amounts of fats and proteins. I've seen my diabetic BIL do this for years after consuming a high-carb. meal without combining protein and fat to slow the uptake of the carbs. -Grainlady |

| Just in case you are still following this thread, I've got another possibility for you. Celiac Disease is a grossly underdiagnosed autoimmune disease estimated to affect 1 in 133 Americans. Most people have never heard of this disease. It often causes gastrointestinal symptoms, as well as vague whole body symptoms. October happens to be Celiac awareness month. I'll attach a link to the Mayo clinic. It is highly treatable. (I also had the NEED to fall asleep after high carb meals before I was diagnosed). I hope whatever it is, he finds relief. |
