I am hoping someone can help me I suffer from what my Doctors have named clinickely Dangerous Reactive Hypoglycemia. I am disabled from it. Unfortunately, where we live in Northern Colorado, good doctors are few and far between, especially anyone that knows about hypoglycemia. I have been through the so called ringer and they cannot find the cause! Cat scans find nothing, and even though blood work comes back strange, it is inconsistent. What I suffer from is not your normal hypoglycemia! I don’t ever have an attack while fasting and the last 3 day fast they had me do I felt great Surprisingly, the attacks only happen after I have eaten something or if I do something strenuous, it does not matter what food sets it off, a Stake can set it off just as fast as sugar. Even more bazar I go through fazes where I will have no problems for a while then out of nowhere I am passing out because my blood sugar is in the low 40s once it was even captured as low as 28.Now that being said as part of my symptoms I get spasms on the left side of my abdomen just under my rib cage as if someone knocked the wind out of me then I get sick usually fallowed by a low blood sugar attack two months ago by a hunch my Dr. sent me to get a Hida Scan and found I have a non-working gallbladder apparently I have had this problem for years. My Dr hinted that there might be a connection. My question is could a bad gallbladder effect your pancreas so much that it causes hypoglycemia? Also have you ever encountered anyone like myself and what was your findings?
