Symptom of Diabetes: Gastroparesis

Stomach trouble is one of the symptoms of persistent high blood sugar

or diabetes. I have written in my previous article that one of the

symptoms of persistent and uncontrolled high blood sugar is nerve

damage, a condition known as neuropathy. Therefore, diabetes or high

blood sugar can also damages the nerve that helps stomach to empty

and transport food smoothly through the digestive tract.

This inability of the stomach to empty food quickly enough as a result

of persistent high blood sugar can lead to many diabetes

complications. This inability of the stomach to process and empty food

swiftly is a condition known as gastroparesis.

3 SYMPTOMS OF GASTROPARESIS

1. This could cause unpleasant abdominal

problems like diarrhea,

constipation, or incontinence.

2. It may also lead to difficulty in eating or swallowing.

3. Gastroparesis can make it uneasy to control your high blood sugar

or diabetes.

BOTTOM LINE

One of the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes is poor digestive

system as a result of nerve damage. Try to control your blood sugar as

much as you can to prevent, control, manage and reverse gastroparesis.

Is eating rice equivalent to eating sugar?

The answer is no it isn’t the same as eating sugar. Our body can only absorb single molecules of “sugars”. In the case of table sugar (sucrose) those simple sugars are glucose and fructose. The sugars in rice are in the form of starch, which is 100% glucose. There is an infinitesimal amount of free fructose in rice (~ 0.02%). It is important to understand that sugar spikes are measured by “glucose” meters. They do not measure the “fructose” spike. It is reasonable to assume that the fructose spike would be similar in amount to the glucose spike caused by sugar. All simple sugars cause damage to proteins and unsaturated fats (cell damaging Advanced Glycation End Products “AGE’s” and lipid peroxidation products). Fructose produces 7 to 10 times more AGE’s than Glucose. AGE’s is an appropriate acronym as they contribute to the “ageing” process.

There is another extremely important benefit for rice depending on how it is cooked. When rice is cooked, then cooled to room temperature (or less), the reheated to eat; between 25% to 30% of the starch (glucose) becomes indigestible since it is transformed to “resistant starch”. Resistant Starch is not absorbed, and instead is food for the bugs that reside in our gut. It is extremely important to our emotional and physical health to have thriving good gut bacteria. The authorities say that modern western societies are not consuming the minimum required amounts of fiber (30 grams a day). If you follow this cooking process 1 cup of rice will deliver around 18 to 20 grams of soluble fibre in the form of resistant starch, with the result of “westerners” easily achieving healthy daily fiber intake considering what else is eaten during the day. No other natural food will contain this percentage of soluble fiber.

Cheaters Rice.

We can buy precooked microwavable rice; simple shove it in the microwave to reheat it and get the desired results. Add some soy, middle eastern spices; what ever you like for taste and one has an instant fructose free side dish loaded with healthy fiber.

So what do you think, is rice like sugar?

There has been a large amount of research dedicated to ageing, disease and AGE’s.
