I had this in the stress section, but I
wonder if this has something to do with
what i'm eating.
I'm on a very strict health diet,
consisting on complex carbs, proteins and
fats.
Has anyone had these symptoms that I
describe in here, with allergies or food
allergies?
Hello,
this all started after the new year. I
workout regularly. I have lost over
85lbs, and was on a great path to health
and fitness. My diet is very clean, no
sweet, no alcohold, and I don't do any
drugs or smoke.
For the past 4 months, my energy has gone
down, and is now at the point where all I
want to do is sleep. My lymph nodes under
my jaw line are swollen, but not
painfull... And my neck hurts daily. I
no longer have energy to lift weights, or
do any type of physical activity. I went
to my doctor, she ran a full blood test to
include the ebv and cmv (mono) as well as
doing a heart rate monitor (24 hour). She
said everything came back fine. I was in
extremely great health. I know that
testosterone wasn't check, but i'm not
sure if that is the problem.
I went out of town down to florida for 4
days, and felt much better on the last
day. This lasted 3 days, after getting
back, and then fell off again. I tried
running, but when I run... After 20
minutes, I get dark bags under my eyes,
break into cold sweats, and feel extremely
weak and fatigued. I had my house tested
for mold and co2 and everything was ok.
My doctors also did a lung capcity test
and said that I cannot exhale as much as a
normal male can. I had a chest x-ray
done, she's looking into that as well.
Can anyone help explain this? It doesn't
matter how much I rest/sleep, what I eat,
if I try to workout or not, i've even
changed buildings at my work.
My symptoms are:
extreme fatigue
swollen lymph nodes (glands)
sore neck
cold hands and feet
blurred vision
night sweats
i want my life back. I have been under
some stress. This time last year, I had
just pruchased a home, and I got married
in september of last year. Our finanaces
aren't great, and I know I have a lot of
anxiety.
Thanks for any help!

Food Allergy Posted: 04-29-06 23:12pm
I have recently discovered that I have a
food allergy. I had all kind of sympthoms
from fatigue, nasal post-drip, ear
problems, sinus problems, swelling in
tongue and mouth, low pressure and stomach
problems, cramps, colitis, etc. My
sympthoms were not triggered when I was
outdoors so I discarded hay fever. As
the sympthoms involved stomach problems,
it was most likely that it was a food
allergy. There are around 10 or 12
important allergens. After an
elimination diet, I am suspecting my
allergy is to soy (almost all processed
foods from bread to mayonnaise have soy!).
I have been having this problem for
years but lately I moved to another
country and the diet change made it acute.
I have an appointment with the
speciallist in 3 months, so I decided to
investigate.
If you browse in the internet you can find
many useful hints that will tell you if
you have an allergy, a food intolerance or
another kind of allergy or problem... Of
course your doctor will confirm your
suspicions.
