Fatigue and stomach problems can be indications that your diet isn't agreeing with you, yes. Now, there are a number of other things that are causing this too. But diet is most definitely one possibility, and one that people and doctors often don't think of.
Low carb involves reducing your sugar intake. It also involves reducing your starch intake by cutting out things like bread, rice, noodles, baked goods, anything with flour in it, a few types of vegetables like potatoes and corn that are very starchy so very carby. Also cutting way down on or cutting out most fruit, except for a few like strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and lemons and limes.
It may mean increasing your meat consumption and your healthy fats and oils consumption. But low carb does not necessarily mean high protein. The main thing is to get rid of the carbs that are unhealthy for those of us with sensitivities to grains and other starchy foods.
