Posting here because although I don't have any specific stomach symptoms, this is a post-meal thing and it's somewhat driving me up the wall. Would be greatly appreciated of any advice or insight, as the difference in my quality of life is probably one notch up on the general functionality scales for ME/CFS (probably 3/10 to 4/10).
Around half an hour after my lunch, I experience:
Mild flushing in my face
A feeling of burning in the nose, face, dry eyes
Circulation issues, cold feet and hands
Limbs generally weaker
Feel completely wiped for the rest of the day.
I thought I'd nailed it when I removed a few foods from my diet and hadn't experienced these specific symptoms for over a month. They'd been plaguing me for over a year so this was greatly appreciated. However, they returned yesterday and today with a vengeance, and I'm not quite sure why.
I will be going over my ingredient lists for yesterday and today, but I wanted to ask if anyone had any insight on what these symptoms could be indicative of? I'm on the mild end of severe ME (if there is such a thing) and also have a POTS diagnosis. Was tested for Tryptase recently and that ran normal, and I am following a low histamine diet to see if there's any improvement.
Any help greatly appreciated!
