I'd been doing a bit better health / engery wise for the past few weeks. Which I put down to taking pancreatic/digestive enzymes and bile salts which seems to have allowed me to take more nutrition from my food. I'd been feeling extremely depleted for years but never put it down to digestion because I don't have any obvious digestive issues, other than floating stools.
Anyway, every now and then and it happens last night, I have something to eat and within minutes I start feeling nauseous, dizzy, thirsty, I cannot think straight and my eyes even seem dodgy. My anxiety goes through the roof but it feels like an anxiety from the food reaction rather than my fear of it. I then cannot sleep all night. These symptoms usually last around 24 hours before they slowly begin to fade. Again there's no obvious digestive issue, other than maybe some bloating. But it's definitely a reaction caused by the food.
It's not dairy, it's not gluten (I don't eat gluten anyway due to intolerance). I'm struggling to work out what it is. I suspected it may have been potatoes as these were in the meal last night but I have them many other times with no problem. I'm thinking it may be some sort of chemical in a sauce or a preservative? Last night I felt like the reaction came after I ate a vegan chocolate dessert. Previously, when I last reacted this way, I'd had a roast with veg, potatoes, meat, all of which I'm usually ok with so I'm wondering if it may have been the gravy/sauce causing the issue.
These reactions seem quite extreme and I'm often on the verge of taking myself to hospital. They really stop me for days and hinder any progress. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? I was in a restaurant last night, I've emailed them asking for a list of ingredients that was in the dessert.
