The following symptoms are hard to classify, but definitely revealing:
Falling asleep after eating
Sudden chills after eating
Eating binges
Any abrupt change of state from well to unwell
Feeling totally drained and exhausted
Flu-like state that isn’t flu
Feeling unwell all over
There can be other reasons for these symptoms – none of them are exclusive
to food reactions. But in my experience, the more of these symptoms you
suffer from the more certain it is that you have a food allergy or intolerance;
in other words: you are reacting to a toxic food.
Quite a list – and probably far from complete. Patients come up
with new variations all the time. If you don’t recognize or understand an
item from the table, don’t worry: the chances are that if it means nothing to
you then you don’t experience it.
