Sudden sensitivity to all foods??
Hello! I’m very curious, since it seems like I can’t find many people who are going through what I am currently.
I stupidly crashed my nervous system a few months ago by drinking way too much fresh ginger tea for 10 days straight. (Like 100 oz a day, with no regular drinking water.) I had no idea the damage it was doing, and even though I was feeling very unwell, I continued to drink the ginger tea. By the time I realized what I was doing, I had really done a number on myself. I couldn’t walk for 3 weeks without feeling like my heart was beating out of my chest. I was extremely weak, and it took me a few weeks to begin to feel “normal” again.
Then, just as I was regaining some normalcy, I was suddenly struck with food sensitivities that I have never experienced in my life. It was like overnight, every single food I eat now makes me feel like my drink has been spiked. I get woozy, a little unstable, vision changes, and just feeling very off and weird. The symptoms last hours, only beginning to ease up when I start getting hungry again. I can still function alright, but it’s pretty awful. I am such a health conscious person and only eat whole, single ingredient foods prepared from scratch.
Now I am one month in, spent $1000 on doctors and blood work (which all came back normal) and no real answers. I still assume that it is my nervous system crash that’s causing all of this. I’ve had safe foods for a couple weeks and lost them overnight for no real reason other than a different phase of my cycle. Although I did drink a couple of tablespoons of kefir one day that seemed to really set me back.
I’m wondering if anyone else has ever experienced something like this, and what they did to overcome it. I just started the Safe & Sound Protocol yesterday and it’s currently my only hope, but I can’t help but be skeptical that it will actually help. I also ground in the sun, do breath-work, and walk 10 minutes after each meal daily.
Thank you for sharing!!
