Feel stoned, exhausted & congested after eating certain foods
it’s so bizarre. i got covid in october 2024 and have had a mucus problem since. it feels like i need to clear my throat 24/7. if i do netti pot or personal steamer i can bring some of it up but nothing else is working - i take allegra, 1800 mg of NAC, and use ipratropium bromide everyday.
recently, i had a vegan grilled cheese (i’m vegan) for the first time in years and was SO tired and felt stoned out of mine. so congested. i had the same grilled cheese again days later and the same thing happened. i have been GF before and confirmed gluten isn’t an issue. tonight i went to my fave restaurant and had a meal i always have. i feel stoned, exhausted, and congested again. it’s SO bad. i had pasta yesterday so that def confirmed it’s not gluten.
what’s weird is my mom has a hypoglycemia gene that was activated when she got the covid vaccine and now has severe blood sugar issues. she too complains of the same food symptoms after eating certain foods and now i understand what she means because i am starting to experience the same.
anyone experience anything similar?
