I'm not sure exactly what the dietary guidelines are for hypoglycemia. Can you be more specific? Do you just have to avoid high-sugar? You could also do a search on this site for posts about hypoglycemia.
I don't understand the reason why you need to eat high-fat animal meat. Are you sure you agree with this doctor? As Heather says in her dietary guidelines, it is a huge trigger. From personal experience, fatty meat is a huge trigger. Can you instead eat safe meats like turkey breast, chicken breast, fish and seafood? Seafood would be a good way to get some fat into your diet, salmon for instance is relatively high in fat.
I too was having problems keeping weight on. I always relied on dairy and red meat to boost me up a bit, but my stomach suffered alot from this. Since becoming stable by following the diet, I've managed to start gaining weight back steadily. I've done this simply because I can eat more now that I feel great all the time.
It would be best for you to figure out what foods you can tolerate and what will work with your hypoglycemia. Then once you have foods you know you can eat safely, eat a lot of them!
I also recommend getting a soluble fiber supplement, such as Heather's Acacia. This will help you get more fiber to settle your stomach, without having to eat high-sugar foods all the time. And fennel tea should help with gas.
