Tengboche,

Your doc's recommendation for eating regularly and having a snack every 2 hours sounds like a treatment for hypoglycemia. I am hypoglycemic and need to do this. I do not see how it would affect BP issues. The salt also sounds like an odd way to increase BP.

It sounds like you may be better off testing your blood sugar levels and keeping a journal of your caloric intake. PCS can cause odd things with hormones including insulin which regulates glucose levels.

There is some research that suggests that an injured brain may not metabolize glucose properly. In this case, Medium Chain Triglycerides are suggested. MCT's help support a higher level of ketones that the brain uses when it cannot metabolize glucose or is lacking glucose. The acetone breath of hypoglycemia is due to the ketones released from the liver as it attempts to keep the brain alive.

Coconut oil is 66% MCT's. Virgin coconut oil is the healthiest kind of coconut oil. Processed coconut oil is not a good health food.
