I have hypoglycemia. Can I take af beta foods. It has beet juice and will it drop my blood sugar. I have not eaten beets because of this. I don’t want to get a blood sugar reaction. I would like to take it for my stomach.
A bit more complicated than that. Do you get an upset stomach after eating fatty meals? Or after any type of food you eat? AF Beta food is for blood sugar and bile maintenance (Gall Bladder support then pancreas support). True Hypoglycemia is a pancreas issue related to too much cortisol and insulin resistance (adrenal weakness). Adrenal tonics may help your issue more than digestive. Then after that is balanced addressing any remaining gut issues would be helpful without causing blood sugar irregularities. Managing your stress (may be tough depends on many things), learning how to mentally be more calm when stressful situations hit you is a start then the organ or supplement support will be more effective.
