I definitely have GI issues and severe food intolerances, and I think I am histamine sensitive. It isn't really a psychological craving; I know that if I eat only meat, I'll feel better but then won't have enough energy to even take care of myself, so I keep having the avocado smoothie each day because it's the only carb/fat I can semi-tolerate, and it gives me enough energy to do some basic tasks the next day. But then the brain fog is so bad, I'm disabled in a different way.
Have you been worked up for a possible mast cell disorder ? I have no idea how this thing starts exactly , I feel it's some severe trauma , for me, radiation and mold. An obvious symptom is dermatographia, do you have hives or do your clothes imprint on you? There are specific blood and urine tests that must be completed to be sure of a mast cell disorder . An allergist/immunologist and a hematologist , usually work on this. It really causes a lot of problems. I go between believing I have it and pretending I don't or that it will spontaneously leave just like it spontaneously began .
They tell people MCAS was there since childhood , that you pushed yourself so hard to compensate and hid illness , ok, there is some truth to that , but I wasn't incapacitated ! I loved smells . So you might want to look into that and then comes the question , what is going on that made it active or brought it on ? For some , it's mold.
I feel highly intoxicated after eating , I don't know if oxygen is not going to my brain or histamine reaction , it's hard to believe its histamine causing that . Someone named Avenger, has done good work regarding d lactic acidosis , look into that .
One trend here is how many have severe GI issues and some have been through all the tests and can't find the cause . Food is torturing them. When they stop eating , they feel a little better
For me, I thought my change in eating habits was partly psychological because I don't like bad food . A dr told me I was doing it becayde it's easy to digest . I had lost 20 lbs and then felt very hungry and then came the carbs but then it became partly psychological, how low I've fallen that some carbs is my big protest ? But if avocado is doing that , you may have some mast cell disorder going on becayde when i eat avocado , it's like I drank a bottle of whiskey but no where near as fun. Do you get the same reaction if you eat delivery or food you didn't prepare ? They store that food and it's loaded with mold and histamine .
The tests I was referring to were allergy tests via blood work . I can't have skin prick or patch test because they all show positive and I don't have any allergies but vancomycin and no dr is going to convince me I developed 100 allergies overnight . So this time I refused and asked for blood testing , maybe do this . All the cat dander and trees came back negative for me but 3 molds were positive , it was proof positive I had been under mold distress . That and the fact the walls were covered in black mold .
Did you do GI testing ? If you have not, start with stool and breath testing. Also bloodwork for celiac , there is more than one blood test for celiac.
