Could intermittent fasting result in excitotoxicity?
I recently learned that hypoglycemia can cause glutamate surges and excitotoxicity. Is this something one should worry about during intermittent fasting?
I suffered some neurological damage some years ago, resulting in mild peripheral neuropathy and a lot of serious cognitive symptoms. The doctors cannot explain why, but I was practicing IF at the time. Could that be the cause? I do not have diabetes.
