Ever felt like you were allergic to everything you eat????

Hello fellow Lyme fighters...this is my first post here! I was curious to know if anybody else has ever had the experience where you eat and shortly there after you feel like your heart is racing (it may be or may not be but the feeling is there), pain in your throat and sometimes like you're just "melting". It is really strange to me and because of it I had IgE food allergy testing done for the foods I noticed it the most with and it all came back normal...that I was not allergic to any of it!! It scares me when it happens and usually leads to an anxiety attack of some sort. I just got diagnosed with Lyme at the end of May and weighed a muscular 122lbs on my 5'4" frame (i was getting ready to start body competitions) and as of this morning i weighed a mere 104lbs. This has been the worst part of this crap!! Anybody else can relate to this?? Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing an Integrative Doctor whom is Lyme aware. For a while it was as if I was "allergic" to anything I ate even things that didn't bother me before. I have somewhat contributed it to a herx because I had a Rife treatment done for Babesia and thought I was going to die the next day and it lasted for over a week with a major increase in those symptoms. My doctor told me to stop the Rife/PEMF treatments for now. I wasn't able to take Diflucan because it did the same thing to me and so did Loratidine. Told my Dr about that but we never did sub any other form of anti-fungal med in its place. I also burp a lot sometimes after I eat, more than norm, but it's even with things that I've been eating normally and sometimes the pain in my throat is random.

My MD gave me some info on the foods that cause pain due to the inflammatory reaction caused by alkaloids-POTATOES are #1 as they have steroidal alkaloids & can be poisonous if eaten raw.

I was told before doing the IgG to stay away from eggplant, peppers of all kinds, potatoes, tomatoes, blueberry, and elderberry-I DID eliminate those foods but there was no change in my pain.

My IgG revealed positive for eggplant, peppers, & blueberries(& a whole ton of others),but negative for potatoe & tomatoes-go figure.

The IgG also revealed negative for cows milk, any cheese, casein & whey whereas the SAME EXACT test 3 yrs ago was the opposite. The current IgG also revealed positive on others that were previously negative and vice versa.

I'm quite confused about the testing to say the least.

W/regards to the alkaloid and histamine issue; from my experience you can test negative for the actual food but still have an adverse reaction to the chemical response of/by the food.

For example, If your histamines are always HIGH then you shouldn't eat foods that stir the body to produce MORE histamines, which includes alcohol or ANYTHING fermented such as vinegars and/or cheeses. Processed meats and fish that's not truly fresh, cause the body to need high amounts of the DAO enzyme and if you're sufficient in that enzyme then the histamine kicks in!!!

It's SO CRAZY, I cannot eat hardly anything any more and am quite depressed because of it!!!

Anyhoo, sorry this is so long-its just my major source of frustration!!!



My food/chemical sensitivities are MANY

Do you feel sick when taking aspirine or for instance Ibuprofen?
I'm asking because I'm thinking about salicylate intolerance. I'm dealing with that too, in addition to histamine intolerance.

Maybe you could ask your doctor about starting quercetin. It's a supplement that stabilizes your mast cells and helps with detox. It's also really good for digestion. It can really help with these kinds of allergic type reactions.

Ahcoleman,

Have a look at this:

Eggs are salicytate free though...

What about chicken, or olive oil?

I make a lot of soups out of chicken hindquarters. Get the bone broth aspect of it, as well as the calories.

But, I'm guessing the chicken's a problem for you, otherwise it'd have made your list. I feel like that's a pretty commonplace item, for the people that can eat it.

Afraid I've got no advice, other than, yeah, your doctor is right, at the end of the day, gotta eat, keep your body up to speed, and maintain weight.

How? I don't know. As the others have filled you in, tons of reasons as to why you're experiencing what you're experiencing, as far as food.

Sucks. I know the pain.

Good luck.
