Claudia,

It looks like you have already made a great observation about being hungry...not getting enough food! I know that if I'm not eating enough, I do become more anxious. I'm not sure about an adrenal rush, but I know blood sugar crashes are no fun...and again, eating more food really helps with that.

: Thanx Dr. K, U ROCK!
: i didn't realize i would have to go
: back that many days. writing the
: food journal is easy,
: "reading" the food
: journal is mind boggling for me. i
: have all this info and don't know
: what to do with it. so THANK YOU,
: very much.

: my thoughts: after looking back those
: days, my best idea is that i was
: "starving" too much this
: last week. every day in fact, so
: maybe that is what led to the
: crash and burn. also any
: suggestions about what to do what
: i get an "adrenal rush"
: it happens fairly often maybe once
: a week or so. just a note: i have
: pretty severe food allergies, so i
: make most of my meals from
: scratch. i make my own blend of GF
: flour and add protein powder to
: most recipes. those things that
: are packaged, store-bought i
: marked with an *. GF= gluten free
: BR= brown rice
