It's extremely uncomfortable. My toes turn purple and get so puffy and itchy and it hurts to wear shoes, but when I lay off the sugar the symptoms slowly start to fade. I've had blood work and I'm not diabetic and my circulation is good. I wear those compression socks but they don't really help. all I can think of is just to eat as little sugar as possible..... it sucks b/c i have a HUGE sweet tooth....but on the upside i've lost 10 lbs?! anyone else have the toe swelling problem?

You say you don't drink anything but sour drinks. Maybe that's causing your body to become acidic and yeast thrive I acidic bodies. But they really thrive on sugar and when you do consume sweets, maybe your body is reacting to the Candida/ yeast. Symptoms of Candida overgrowth may be fatigue, restlessness, mood swings, irritibility, depression etc and a whole host of other problems. Google Candida overgrowth and you may be surprised at what you find. Hope this helps! Hello colleen

Headache, dizziness, fatigue and a terrible itchy rash on my face minutes after ingesting a large amount of sugar like in sodas and juices. What I did was stay away from sweets for like 15 years until I got pregnant with my son. My body craved sweets like no other so I started consuming high amount of sugar including juice,icecream etc. I never had any of the symptoms I used to have. After pregnancy is a another story. I get the symptoms after consuming sweets but not as severe. What I've noticed is my eyesight getting worse. I had LASIK about 7 years ago and Had perfect vision up until now. I had horrible nearsightedness starting as a child and Im wondering if that was caused by sugar consumption. My parents and brother has perfect vision. I was sure I had diabetes and every doctor I went to would laugh and say there is no way I could have diabetes and sure enough, tests would confirm I didn't. Then why couldn't they explain what was happening to my body when I ingested a good amount of sweets? They all thought I was crazy!!! I think sugar intolerance/ allergy could be a potentially dangerous problem that not many people are aware of. Im glad I found this article because I couldn't find answers to my problem. Because I thought I was the only one with sugar I tolerance/ allergy. Hello colleen

They all have been corrected through an alternative Dr in Coeurd'Alene Idaho Dr. Tony smith at Dynamic Health. He has a patten on a method he developed called cranio biotics. You have to keep an open mind. I was skeptical at first but he has been amazing. I still can't tollerate eggs thats a small price to pay for eating all the other things that used to make me sick.
