The white bumps/tongue could be thrush Click here for Info. One of the causes is a messed up immune system, which would coincide with PirateFromHell's theory about a virus throwing you out of whack.
It looks like your making some improvement, but you could always ask your Dr. to test for it just as piece of mind.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for a speedy recovery bro. Keep us posted.

This kinda raises suspicions towards a glycemic problem as well...
The water thing, especially in our chosen lifestyle, might not be a solid indicator...I drink close to 2 gallons as well, and my body is used to it to the point that I'm thirsty every hour if I dont have a glass...

This is another site that lists some symptoms: click here

What are the symptoms?

Diabetes is sometimes discovered by accident in people who have no symptoms. It is important to note that many people with Type 2 Diabetes often do not have symptoms. On the other hand, some people with diabetes have a variety of symptoms. These symptoms include:

  • Unusual, excessive thirst
  • Extreme hunger

i brought that up and guess what? My doctor doesn't think i have diabetes either. I've been talking with HAN and he thinks i might be hypoglycemic.

I tend to agree with HAN. When I first started reading the posts, I thought it may be a stomache prob (I thought parasites too), but putting it all together, I't seems real likely.

So, since your Doc didnt "think" it was, I take it he didnt bother testing for it? I'd go to a different Doc. I'd go in there and ask for a Fasting Plasma Glucose Test. The worst part of it (especially in your case), is the fasting...I have a few relatives with Type 2, and I had a scare a few years back...If you have any questions, your more than welcome to PM me (although it sounds like HAN has got your back )

stress (over training, undereating, lifestlye in general) was the catylst for everything. Now what can be done about it, just have to wait for test to come back to see what direction you need to go !!

Have you tried what PirateFromHell suggested? Don't fret over not eating protein for a while cause at this point you are going to make yourself very sick.


Here's another theory:
Are you drinking alot of water right before, during or directly after eating? Drinking too much water while eating can dilute your stomach acids and cause carbs to not be fully digested leading to bacterial growth in the stomach and what do bacteria love? Sugar.

Stomach Acid Self-Test: Determine if hydrochloric acid is needed by taking a tbsp. of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice. If this makes your heartburn go away, then you need more stomach acid. Sip apple cider vinegar mixed with water with meals. If it makes your symptoms worse, then you have too much HCL and shouldn't take enzymes that contain HCL

oaktownboy

thanks for the advice..i've been squeezing up lemons and drinking the juice with my meals to add acids to my stomach.About the protein, i can barely take any in because my body just wants carbs. I've been eating a lot of cream of rice with flax seeds for digestion purposes.I definetly am not drinking a lot of water. In fact, I barely drink any water without feelin like i am going to vomit. weird isn't it?

got blood results back...test is very high..lol they said it was extremely high.But the hard part is my glucose levels are extremly low, abnormal even..i mean we are talkin lower than the lowest number on the range they gave me. not a good sign for my blood sugar which could explain the hunger for carbs and sugar...however my doc doesn't think i have diabetes (my cousin has a really bad case of diabetes btw) or hypoglycemia. he can eat a dick cuz i'm going to another doctor. GI specialist meeting next thursday. fuck i hate doctors

Good move (going to a different Doc). WTF does he think is is then? Just an "off" day???

My journal: The Donut Shop

oaktownboy

^^he thinks i am fine and healthy.he says it's normal for sum readings to show as abnormal.i understand what he's thinking but i've been complaining of feeling starved, extreme hungry for carbs and sugars, indigestion and now the extremely low glucose readings. why does he not put 2 and 2 together?

Exactly. He needs to learn more about treating the patient, NOT the symptoms. If it were a two day freak of nature, I could see his reasoning, but you've been suffering for awhile now.

Sorry to come off so strong about this stuff, but my time working in the hospital, and seeing what my wife deals with for the past 10 years (She works as a NICU RN), Ive seen all to many of those types, and it always gets me fired up.

P-funk has the right idea, an endocrinologist would probably be a good specialist to see. I'm surprised your regular doc isn't refering you to one, your symptoms and problem are right up their alley. They would check for things like insulinomas that can cause some of your symptoms etc.

I agree as well, but I think this was caused mainly by your dieting more then anything from low carbs and taking alot of caffine can make you insuliin resistant vs insulin sensitive. Plus you starved your self for so long that your body is now craving what it did not have for many weeks. Next step is going to see a speclialist or even a nutrirtionist may even be a better step IMO. The extra added fats to your meals should slow you down. You may want to try adding more fiberous vegetiables like some mung, aduki beans, kidney beans to your diet because that will also stabilize blood sugar as well

hardasnails1973

Hypoglycemia is a physical condition which involves an abnormally low level of glucose in the blood. This occurs when there is an overproduction, or secretion of insulin from the pancreas.
Hypoglycemia can be an inherited disorder however there is a correlation between hypoglycemia and a poor diet. This increase in hypoglycemia due to an inadequate diet, includes a glut of over refined carbohydrates, white sugar, caffeine, and alcohol being consumed.

Individuals with hypoglycemia may experience such symptoms as shakiness, excessive hunger, abdominal pain, headache, light-headedness, irritability, cravings for sweets, and nervousness. The intensity of the symptom is determined by the length of time since the last meal. Individuals with hypoglycemia experience large surges of epinephrine in the bloodstream at the exact moment that they experience the symptom.

I believe this was all self inflicted and when you go see specilaist (endo) be honest with him with exactly what you took and did.

another huge problem i have been experiencing....urinating is becoming harder to do in the sense that i feel like i have to piss a lot, but when i do barely antyhing comes out and, belive it or not, it actually hurts. wakes me up in the middle of the night too...this has been happening for a while now and don't know if at all how this plays into what i am experiencing

i think you put your self into a sub diabetic state that will take time to recovery from. Start adding more of the fiberous carbs such as the beans I stated but not at every meal may be 1-2 meals a day with some brown basmati rice. The fiber should help control blood sugar level. Keep taking the probiotics, they should help with digestion and assimulation of nutrients. if you get hungry hand full of nuts should balance you right out, but go see endo they would know more then a Gi. ALso do you may still be under stress and also you did got back to training. I would go 3 TIMES A WEEK for a while becuase you still could be in over training mode. Up vitamin C and take loads of glutemine even inbetweeen meals to stabilize blood sugar

today i feel like throwing up...tired no way i can work out..hopeless because i don't know what's wrong with me and i gotta get back to school.I have never been this depressed my entire life.

oh yeah and while the hunger has subsided a bit, i am now thristy all the time and seem to urinate almost every second.one day i am good, the next day i feel hungover. the urinating problem is really bpthering me because it has been getting worse and worse. and it hurts to piss too

that may be the rebound affect from the prolonged dieting. Ck to see if your tongue is white and coated. Don;t let your self get depressed other wise its going to through you deeper into more problems. Stay positive and focus and try not to think about it so much. I know it is difficult, but some times you have to get worse before getting better. I have been on this roller coaster rid for 10 months. Frequent urination is related to irregular blood sugar levels. Just hang in there and things will get better
