OK, and now today I seem to be developing another one. Same time of day 
too. However, although there's nothing I can eat here, I'm currently 
sucking some candy, and that has almost completely cured my headache.

I'm starting to get worried now. Two headaches in the same week? That 
*can't* be normal!

Now I'm wondering... Perhaps the antibiotics I'm taking have affected my 
ability to digest starch properly or something?

Hmm, even so, I'm not exactly starving to the point where I don't have 
any fat left to convert back to glucose. So... wuh?

When taking antibiotics, /do/ expect your digestive system to go nuts. 
You normally provide shelter, food & work for a host of bacteria to help 
you with certain nutrients, but ATM you're regularly flooding their home 
with substances designed to /kill/ bacteria.

Maybe your body isn't prepared for large-volume production of glucose 
from fat? (Consider this a wild guess.)

Antibiotics can cause headaches. They really change the way you absorb
food; live yogurt helps that a lot. So does a live milk. Raw milk might
be a bad idea, but I have bought inoculated milk before. It is
pasteurized and then they add some healthy germs to it, but don't let it
rest till it turns to yogurt. Been drinking enough liquids with the
antibiotics, or drinking enough period? Water, milk, soda; not pales or
brown ale.

A lack of starches can also raise your blood sugar, in a really complex
way. Hunger tells the brain to not make much insulin, brain tells body
to turn some fat into glucose, hormones cause too much sugar and the
body doesn't react with insulin fast enough. That would, if I remember
right, be a symptom for thyroid problems or some really rare disorder
more likely to be seen on a daytime tv drama.

Or even store-bought acidophilius.  I find the brand with the picture of the 
colon full of smiley faces works well. ;-)

I haven't seen that. Sweet acidophilius milk is good, 2% tastes like
whole, but the stuff goes sour so quick. Will have to look for just the
culture, maybe the whole food market is a better bet for me?
