Title: Drowsiness after eating
Post by Bruce Hart on 08/19/13 at 12:48:35

After eating some foods I feel like I haven't slept in 3 days and have to go to sleep. In the past I would eat yogurt which had whey concentrate in it, which I think is high in histamine, and it would give me brain fog, make me fatigued and very sleepy. I would have to go sleep for a few hours. If I ate it before bedtime then it would make me sleep 2-3 hours longer than normal. Yogurt with no additives didn't do this.

Right now I've been eating nothing but lima beans for years. I occasionally try another food but I don't tolerate them. They either give me heartburn, sleepiness or the smell gives me a headache. I've been trying meats and so far it seems chicken, beef, and pork make me sleepy and they all gave me headaches from the smell sometimes.

Those are my worst symptoms, too unfortunately.

I can tolerate most meat, rice and olive oil. Every time I think I'm ok with something else it slowly catches up on me.

I think I'm going insane from all of this and just don't feel like a nice person any more.
