Allergies?

[stephbob]

I'm starting to wonder if I'm allergic to something in foods I shouldnt be eating. I've been trying to be so good over Christmas, but I did slip up once or twice a day or two back. And now I feel awful! Not regretful (I mean, I am regretful for cheating, but awful as in URGH awful!). I have not felt like this the whole time I've been on Atkins which I believe is coming up to 12 weeks. I'm feeling sick like I did before I started, but I know it cant be because I ate too many illegal foods.

Could it be something in the foods I ate, like wheat or something, that I'm allergic to? It's quite a hassle to go to see my Dr when its NOT the holidays, so I want to avoid taking time off work and going there if I can, which is why I'm asking here first.

Well it sounds like you got a Stomach Virus or maybe a small touch of food poisoning. My wife and son has food allergies and both of them react with a rash. There is some bad stuff going around this year, I was sick from Dec 20th until Christmas day and I haven't been sick like that in years.

It sounds like you may have have something to do with coming of plan a bit. Its amazing what can happen to your bodily functions when you cheat a little.

I dont really want to go to much into the side effects either, but an additional bit of sugar can play havoc with your digestive system.

Oooh maybe thats it! Thanks guys. I was starting to wonder in work today if I have an intolerance to anything because I used to be like this constantly before I began Atkins!

Cheers!

Hi Steph, i just wanted to add that i went off plan Christmas day and ate fudge. I was so sick that night(both ends ) and the next day! Im convinced it was the sugar

Re: Allergies?

That's one of the reasons for the rigidity of the rung approach. It adds foods back in gradually so you can catch the ones that will do you wrong. Sorry, you are enduring it, but at least you know there is something out there you should be watchful -- even if it is just more sugar. I hope you feel better soon.
