I did a little experiment a few months ago where I ate large amounts of honey (250g) on top of my already high fruit intake.
Never had any problems with fruit or honey before, but after a few weeks of consuming those large amounts of honey I started getting pretty bad headaches and generally feeling very tired and spaced out.
Stopped the honey and most other sugar sources and it went away.
Now my problems is, while I could eat around 100g of honey before my experiment without any problems, I can't even handle 1 tbsp now without getting a headache. The same thing happens when I eat a bowl of apple sauce.
Small amounts of other fruits seem to be ok. Starch does not give me any problems.
EDIT: all refined/low nutrient carbs seem to be problematic
I have switched most of the sugar with starch (potatoes) and am doing ok, but would like to eat a higher fruit/honey diet in the future again (want to gain some weight, a lot easier to do with simple sugars)
Does anyone know what happened here?
To much fructose to handle for me at the moment? High triglycerides? Did I **** up my liver?
I will get a blood test done next week, does anyone have any suggestions until then?
I don't take thyroid at the moment, but still have a bottle of ndt here. Might try that after the blood test and see if it helps.
