Talk:Idiopathic postprandial syndrome

message: Although they are similar in symptoms, adrenergic postprandial syndrome is not a kind of reactive hypoglycemia (there is not hypoglycemia at the time of the symptoms), but a postprandial syndrome.
So, in my opinion, it's better to put some information about in RH page and in IPS page too, isn't it?

thread_title: Prognosis

message: I need to go study for a test, and hence do have the time or wiki know-how to update this page to all of your likings', however this page should include the full list of side effects from hypoglycemia, not simply the few mentioned already on the page.  If nothing else _include_headaches_ as they are often the symptom people find hardest to ignore, while simultaneously being extremely common.  Also, Hypoglycemic Fatigue should be mentioned - ie, the fact that the symptoms any particular individual with hypoglycemia has can and often do change over time.  Self testing methods should probably also be put up here.  The most obvious is if you feel nauseas, tired, sick and have headaches if you don't eat every few hours, and magically everything then becomes better, consistently, after eating a small (somewhat healthy, or sugary) snack, you may have a form of hypoglycemia.  If you find yourself experiencing any of the symptoms to some degree after not eating for a set number of hours (2.5 to 3), you may have hypoglycemia.  Unfortunately, as there is no true common test for IPS that I know of (we've already stated insulin checks aren't effective) most unknowing individuals with IPS have been raised to have the symptoms treated, without ever addressing the underlying issue.  Provided the individual does in fact eat regularly, learning to control mood swings, stifle hunger, etc will take care of a good number of the symptoms.  This wouldn't be an issue except for the fact that brainpower greatly decreases during these periods.  The ability to learn while "sugar low" is often stymied, mental power tends to fall sharply, quality of work drops, tendency for accidents to occur rises, etc.  As this is also a syndrome of perception, it is very easy for people who have been raised to believe they are normal, and just work on suppressing symptoms to also convince themselves that the previous examples (quality of work, inability to learn effectively) are not actually occurring, or are not, at least, a result of not eating.  As a result, a number of simple self-tests should be mentioned, for those who think they may have this.  Also, the 2.5 to 3 hour number previously mentioned should mentioned in the article, as it seems to hold true (at least in my experience) for most hypoglycemics, and, more importantly, once an individual sees the same symptoms occurring 2.5 to 3 hours after eating, again and again, it becomes easier to accept, and more importantly, easier to identify in small children form whom all rates of hypoglycemia are higher than the general population.  Perhaps we could also add a section mentioning the positive sides of IPS?  Often individuals who experience low blood sugar and/or the related symptoms often report being more artistic, in touch with feelings, artisan, at peace, etc when slightly sugar low.  Indeed, just as individuals with Synesthesia often claim to like and/or be thankful for their "disorder," I have heard similar statements about IPS.  I for one consider it a bit of a blessing for a long list of reasons.  -Sept 24, 2008-  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.202.65.199 (talk) 20:21, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Should Be Added

message: With an article title as "cryptic", to most people, as this one: Idiopathic postprandial syndrome, then a short "translation" is surely not out of place in the introduction! 
User:Alteripse removed the following, short, clarification:<BLOCKQUOTE>Idiopathic postprandial syndrome (Which translates to plain english as: “A syndrome that occurs two to four hours after finishing a meal, while the cause(s) are completely unknown or largely not understood”).<BR>It is a medical term describing a collection of[...]</BLOCKQUOTE>And replaced it with:<BLOCKQUOTE>Idiopathic postprandial syndrome It is a medical term describing a collection of[...]</BLOCKQUOTE> You (Alteripse) added in the edit summary: "removing redundant pedantry".<BR>Well, I would agree if this text was intended for medical professionals only, but it is not! (See number5 under: WP:Not#Textbook). To most lay people the removed explanation is far from redundant and may very well be one of the most important sentences in the whole article! (The one that most effectively gives a grasp on the subject).<BR>Yes, that sentence is redundant and tiring for professionals and medically "literate" people, but this loss is far smaller than the wold-be loss for everybody else by removing the explanation. Therefore I will revert the last change back.<BR>I hope not, but if this rationale seems unreasonable, then please at least discuss it here, a little, before changing the article again! I think we all have the same goal in mind: to make Wikipedia the best! Therefore at least 99% agreement on this will be within reach! Don't you think? :-) --Seren-dipper (talk) 02:24, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

This recent article may explain the symptoms for some of the patients as well. SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth) can cause D-lactic acidosis after eating carbohydrates (especially monosaccharides and disaccharides). This causes brain fogginess that can explain at least some of the symptoms. 
I think this should be added to the article SFS1984 (talk) 16:33, 21 October 2018 (UTC)
