Often people confuse CS with junk sensitivity. ;) To truly decide if you are carb sensitive, layoff the processed foods before you do anything else. Eat a clean diet of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and lean dairy and give it a good month to settle in.
A CS person might eat a meal of a whole grain bread sandwich and then shortly after feel tired, bloated, puffy, and gassy. Even simple sugar meals like fruits and yogurt make you feel lethargic and uneasy. If clean carbs make you feel this way, you're probably carb sensitive and need to work on reducing them and/or properly timing them. If you react negatively to eating sugar, i.e., you become tired, groggy, and your mental response becomes sluggish/foggy, you're probably CS.
