Frankenstein legs/fatigue after a meal

I get hit with fatigue in the middle or end of a meal, and once that happens the rest of the day is spent fighting that fatigue or sleeping/resting. Does anyone else get this?
about 5 years ago both my husband and I had this (and he had not been bitten by a tick-so must have gotten sick from me) But now I have it, and he doesn't.
It is nothing like the sleepiness you get from too much Thanksgiving dinner, or the tiredness you get from working too hard, or the tiredness normally associated with bedtime. It feels most like getting anesthesia for surgery..... It is like someone pulled a plug and your energy washed out-in less than a minute. One minute you're fine and the next you are too tired to finish eating.....like a steamroller came through the kitchen and ran over you.

I brought this up to my doc in CA and he said a lot of people have mentioned it. He calls it food coma.....Anyone else?

Also I can feel OK during the day and then at some point my legs feel clumsy, and I start walking like Frankenstein (and not "Young Frankenstein"either) and I know the fatigue is descending. It gets almost impossible to walk up stairs-my legs feel like I ran a marathon and I feel like I might vomit.....
If you have any of these symptoms can you say with any certainty which exact tick borne illness(es) you have?

I had this yesterday and Bart is what I suspect is my cause.

ive had this before, food coma is a good description....its like u were just drugged/roofied....its not blood sugar, as i went keto and still got it...i think either bluelyme is right and its leaky gut or it might be an autoimmune thing where the blood leaves the head to goto stomach for digestion (pots like)- my np thought it was related to adrenals perhaps

bluelyme said...
mine was caused from rush of protiens and sugar leaked from a literal leaking gut . charcot crytaline structures were visable in my bloodstream after a meal upon microscopy. i had to remove the causes and heal the gut . meantime hcl and digestive enzymes may help at mealtime . also no high histame foods no leftovers etc etc . try sealing with demulcients like slippery elm and aloe and marshmellow root a few hours prior to and see if symptoms are the same as a test . ...all soy dairy sugar and gluten were allergens for a while btw.
have you ever been to southwest or treated thoroughly for common american parasites?

I just now saw your answer. I've been to the SW several times (and to Mexico) and have not been treated or tested for American parasites. Which ones were you thinking of?

I used to get this. 3 possibilities: food allergies and/or mast cell issues. Start a low histamine and elimination diet. it'll help.

Also, if you're dehydrated like most of us are, eating protein will dehydrate you further. up your water intake and reduce animal protein for a while. Possibly even stick to just seafood.

Small possibility it can be a byproduct of candida/pathogen fermentation. Klebsiella, prevotella and other stuff ferment foods and release toxic byproducts, making is feel fatigue. Elimination diet will give you clues toward this.

I hope you get this under control soon, I know how awful it is
