Eating Log Day 17

Woke up in an unhappy thing of knee joint pain and body tightness and weird feelings and pretty extreme lethargy; didn't want to get out of bed.

Came downstairs and ate 2 oranges (was wondering if I'm Vitamin C deficient), and coconut, and a little bit of turkey jerky.
Now I've got a reaction going.  Assuming its something in the jerky.  I want to lay in bed more.

Sucks for me.

Eating log Day 16

No news,
still don't know what I am reacting to.

Reactions that I had today:
I had a reaction when I took (just wanted to try)- the Womens Sexual Libido pills.  Tried one.  Got a reaction not long after of headache and movement in my body.  I know its a little dumb of me to be trying pills when I know that I have these effects.  But, I wanted to try it because I thought it might 'improve circulation'.
It got a little bad, but it didn't last more than half an hour.

I was okay until after dinner.
When I ate dinner, I ate: tomato sauce and 2 eggs.  The egg yolk wasn't fully cooked.
Anyways, after dinner, I got 'the reaction'- it came on strong.  Felt movement in my body, overfocus on thoughts, less pain in body.

It keeps coming on strong at night, hours after I've eaten.  I don't know why.  I'd really like to know what is going on.

Then woke up early in the morning or late at night (same thing the last few days), at mercy of the reaction.  I was feeling pretty miserable with these sensations.

Wondered if I have a 'nightshade allergy' because of the tomato.  But, I really do not know.  What I do know is that I honestly don't seem to digest food if I eat it lukewarm.  It doesn't feel good for me at all.

Eating Log Day 14

Missed a few days again.  My stomach hasn't been going completely flipping crazy anymore.

Then suddenly, all the gas!

Here's what I ate right before- dried 'flattened' bananas from Trader Joes, a bite of canned pineapple sugar thing (knew as I ate it that it was NOT good for me), and hummus- the ingredients were garbanzo beans, lemon, and olive oil, and I had it with some avocado.

Then, my body went crazy. I think it was that bite of pineapple sugar, and avocado, that completely did me in.  Luckily, I didn't eat too much, so its getting less crazy.

Also- I was having these reactions to Helen's formula.  Especially bad on tuesday when I couldn't handle any food.

So- now I think I have SIBO, and that I am dying from it.  Although- it can be killed with antibiotics...

Eating Log Day 8

Missed a few days; was at the Foster Sullivan Conference flipping out.

Went to Dr. Olsen- he told me gluten and dairy is the problem.

However- I woke up in the morning feeling pretty alright, nothing going on in my body except overthinking and tight hamstrings.

Ate (just for the hell of eating; I wasn't hungry; I'm never hungry)
-chocolate (contains soy lethicin)
-(dried bananas)
- sweet potato chips from Terra brand, which contain sea salt, canola/safflower/sunflower pressed oil

I noticed a body response immediately after eating the sweet potato chips; so I think it was that.

Am I having some issue with oil?

I thought it was salt.

But, I also had a hyper-response when I had those supplements at the sauna; I don't know what was in them.

:(

There's no gluten or dairy in any of this food, UNLESS by trace factory production

Ideas: SALT, NOT CHEWING MY FOOD (WHOLE PORTIONS OF FOOD DIGESTING BADLY), and ACTUAL FOOD INGREDIENTS ???

But one thing is sure- this is SOMETHING that I am EATING.  I keep waking up feeling fine, which is obviously because I'm not eating at night.  Then I eat, and POOF, I'm all messed up.

What am I feeling?  I feel ear pain, this feeling that my throat is closing up, this movement or pounding in my body (that's the most distressing); and general 'something is wrong'...

Eating Log Day 4

This is terrible..

today went pretty well.  I was feeling better.. athough, I am really tight all over.  I don't know what is going on.

But tonight, after eating quite a few items after 8 pm- just massive gas attack.  Gas that couldn't exit- so pressure in my head and tinnitus.  Gas that actually did escape, along with about a dozen digestive enzymes (starting to find these thing very interesting).

IF ONLY I had just not eaten after 8 pm.  OMG
Just stopped.  But no, mom was home, and she was eating, so I started to eat...

Here is what I ate- drank some coffee drink from the dollar store (I think that was what did me in).  Ate a probiotic, new which has prebiotic, as well as two liver cleanse (with magnesium).  Ate a medium amount of feta cheese, super salty, with crackers.  Man, have I NOT been sticking to this diet.

big mistake.

But again- felt like I had heartburn, esophogeal reflux, gas, what the hell is going on?  Do I have an acute infection or just a 'dysbiosis' of SIBO?

Pretty terrible.

I've been drinking huge amounts of water and tea and digestive enzymes, and on top of that, I am completely constipated.

It hit me while i was in bed.  I was in bed, about half an hour in to my last food and drink.  The wierd thing is that when it started, I thought that my muscles were relaxing.  But then it started to be pretty intense heartburn and pain so I had to get up out of bed (lying down isn't good), and burped, and now have been up for two hours dealing with this.

Tomorrow I go to the conference.  Hope I don't look like crap, although I probably do.

My neck hurts alot- it comes on and goes away.

And yet- here I am, unable to poop after a few days and two magnesium pills, tons of water, exercise.  THIS IS NOT GOOD.  BOWEL OBSTRUCTION COMING, PERHAPS.

since eating fennel seed (sucking on it), my symptoms are slowly normalizing, thank god

Eating Log Day 3

I was all kinds of unhappy yesterday.  Stomach pain that wouldn't quit.  Sick to my stomach, couldn't burp-- pressure in body and head and ears.  I keep getting a tinnitus like feeling in my head when I feel all the pressure.

I had a bowel movement that was like a ball- all packed up and sticky.  Called Steatohhrea.  (fat malabsorption).  It felt bad came out so fast, and bothered me.

Tried so many different things to make my stomach feel better and release gas, so of course I can't keep track.  Water, coconut milk with greens powder, chocolate, different things, toast (I had been gluten free up until today, but I wanted to see if toast would settle me).

At the end of the day, we went to Ruths Chris.  I felt so much happier upon eating (steak, veal, bread (I had been gluten free, but thought that toast would help), butter, dessert of lemon bar, soup with kale.  And went home feeling good.  And, much better than the whole rest of the day.  The heat, the fat?

Then, suddenly a couple hours later, I started to feel much worse, very suddenly.  I started to get the very scary feeling I have been having, of my leg muscles pulling and tightening, involuntarily.  It feels like tiny little centimeter gripping and tightening; not like large muscle activity.
It feels the worst in my hamstrings.  This when I start thinking I am having a neurological issue; getting paralyzed.  It really scary!  And it occurs with a massive headache.

But why did it even come on?  I hadn't eaten anything in the mean-time, or taken any medications; that I can remember.

So I ate chips, potato, ice cream, etc until it went away.

I took a ton of digestive enzyme.



Then this morning, I woke feeling very nice.  Less pain than usual.  Excited to try low-acid dieting.

Then as soon as I had a bowel movement, I ate a bunch of things to ward off me getting all sick.

So what happened?  I got really sick, a very sudden spreading stomach pain, pressure, sickness, and tinnitus, headache-- I'm starting to think of this as a TOXIC REACTION to something ( I don't know to what).

Hopefully I don't die, or get Tinnitus really bad or deaf.  That's where this seems to be going.

What the fuck?  I ate like ten things so who knows.  I ate corn enchilada with coconut oil, and pineapple, and had like ten medications- omega fish oil, multivitamin,  antacid, birth control, chelated magnesium and calcium.  And, a ton of digestive enzyme since I don't know what the issue is but I want it out of my stomach.  SHIT.  I have no idea which of these the problem lies in.

3pm: I had more headache and body movement sensations.  I ate a bunch on wheat cookies (doh!) and sweet potato chips, then took digestive enzymes.  Its wierd because my body feels kind of nicer than usual with all the movement feelings, but my back SIMPLY WILL NOT MOVE- BEND , TWIST, OR STRETCH.  I REALLY HATE THIS.   WHAT THE FUCK IS CAUSING ALL OF MY BACK PAIN????????????????????????????????

I SWEAR I AM GOING TO GO COMPLETELY CRAZY>  THIS IS HOW MY BODY FEELS>  I HAVE A HEAD<< A BUNCH OF THOUGHTS, AND A BACK THAT DOESN'T MOVE.  THAT'S ABOUT ALL THAT I CAN FEEL.  I CAN FEEL TIGHTNESS IN MY LEGS. BUT THEY DON'T STRETCH EITHER.  I CAN WALK BUT I REALLY CANT STAND UPRIGHT.  SARI THINKS I'M JUST COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY A STRESS / PSYCHOSOMATIC CASE.  I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.  I HATE THIS, AND IT DOESN'T FIT ANY MEDICAL GUIDELINES, EXCEPT THAT, WELL, I ALSO CAN'T HANDLE FOOD AND AM ENTIRELY CONSTIPATED.

Eating log day 2

Well, I didn't really keep track of what I ate minute by minute.  Here is what I remember though:

Breakfast- I forget.  some chocolate.  A little hummus and carrot

Lunch- chicken bowl from Lazy Dog Cafe which included- blackened chicken with seasonings, avocado, cheese, peas, a little rice, salsa.  Also- a bit of Lev''s omelette.  Also, some ice cream.

Snack- Ate chips (corn) and hummus.  I haven't eaten corn in a long time.  Also- cucumber.  peeled apricot. parsley and sardines with olive oil.

drank- garlic tea, later, and apple cider vinegar diluted with water

Fairly suddenly 8pm-ish, got the movement feeling in my body, light sensitivity, very uncomfortable.

Can't understand if this is a good or bad thing, because it does bring pain relief.  But it also makes me feel so scared and anxious, and my muscles cramp.  It also makes me feel like I can think and type really fast, although my attention is on how weird the rushing feeling is.

For some reason, even though I "feel movement" all over my body, my back does not change.  It stays stuck. This part sucks!

Also, my throat intermittently close up and opens.  Feel like my ears are going to pop unless the gas goes away.  Which makes me think its an allergy/immune response.  Kind of makes sense.  Although- a response to something I ATE or something internal like a PARASITE?  I DON'T KNOW.  F

Medications: Birth control pill, day 6 of 8 of Macrobid, took a liver supplement, took calcium and magnesium in the morning

I would like to think this is a detox reaction and that its "ok", but I really don't know what this is.

It reminds me of Fluconazole a little- in some ways yes, but some ways no.  Yes- movement in my body.  No- muscles aren't relaxing such as my back and stomach
Eating makes it better.  When I eat, the gas goes away.  But just for a little, then it comes right back.  This sucks!  This is so scary.  What is happening to me?

update- the ER notes said that my neurological signs were normal.  Something is causing all this gas though...  So even though it feels like pressure and muscle changes, which seems neurological, plus my thinking is so much faster (?), its something to do with gas that is trapped and moves about.
