A doctor or nutritionist can explain your metabolism much better than I, but I learned much in my physiology class about the entire metabolism process which runs our bodies. You might find something informative in the library which helps you understand the busy life inside your digestive system. I have always been interested in learning more, but my doctor doesn't have time to educate me much, however he did send me to the nutritionist, which Medicare paid for the lesson. I believe that watching my husband die from not taking care of his diabetes and from cancer that came back with roar when he wouldn't stay on the medical protocol, did more for me than any lessons I learned in the past. He had an eating disorder and he loved restaurants. I couldn't help him.
Let's not get into that painful memory. As we learn more about our bodies, we can succeed despite the hard work at times. Dorisena
