Do carbohydrates cause fatigue

Answer 1

My husband has for years had trouble staying awake after he eats. I was wishing someone has an answer to what he could do about it. It puts him asleep for about 1 or more hours after he eats. They say it is to many carbs. but it doesnt matter what he eats. So he has to eat one meal a day and gets very hungry during the day too. What can i do for this. Thanks for helping.
