Strange Symptoms After Eating Posted: 10-27-07 20:08pm
I
am experiencing very strange and scary
symptoms after eating certain food. Once I
had it from a chocolate bar, another time
after eating a banana, even lemonade. I
don't know which doctor to ask about this,
no one has ever heard the symptoms that I
am getting and is suggesting a
psychologist. After eating certain foods,
dont know which ones, I get this poisoning
kind of effect, as if you drunk a litre of
vodka and its all over inside you. This
sounds weird but I cant find a way of
explaining this better. A few minutes or
so after eating, sometimes longer, I get
this feeling of alcohol-like taste
emerging from within and filling my mouth.
Does anyone know about any disease like
this? I am assuming its either a disease
or disbalance in nutrition. Any help will
be appreciated, thanks!!

I have been experiencing a similar
reaction after eating, I get a drunk-like
feeling after eating most meals consisting
of some kind of carbohydrate. I have done
some research on this symptom and the only
thing that seems to match up is something
called Candida albicans (yeast overgrowth)
which is an overgrowth of bad bacteria, it
can occur in the gut. Candida's waste is
"Ethanol" in other words alcohol. Candida
or/and Candidasis can come from taking
antibiotics for a long while, birth
control pills and even eating a diet high
in sugar. I would suggest doing a search
on the internet to about
Candida/Candidasis so that you can get a
better understanding of it. I would not
doubt that this is probably what's causing
your alcohol taste and feeling from eating
foods. Also, you can check your tongue
for "thrush" if you have candida your
tongue will have a white coating on it.
Also you can do a self test, when you wake
up in the morning, before drinking or
eating get a clear glass of water and spit
in the water (once only). Watch to see if
you see strings from your spit floating to
the bottom, if so then you've got a yeast
overgrowth. Usually you'll need to take
anti-fungals and acidophilous, as well as
following a very low carb diet to get your
gut back in balance.
