sandman79 Posted October 3 Author Posted October 3 I know wd throws everything at us at different times. I have been noticing i am now feeling upset stomach after eating. Its not terrible but sucks. It goes away about an hour or 2 afterwards. My diet has pretty much stayed the same. I haven't had any issues with getting upset stomach ? For over a month. Appetite was really strong except for the last couple days and seemed that I am not eating all day long. I don't think it's food cause it just started 2 to 3 days ago. Is this just withdrawal switching up on me. April 7 2024 started Prozac 10 mg May 11 2024 last day of prozac 10 mg. May 19 2024 start of lexapro 5 mg.

Moderator Jane318 Posted October 4 Moderator Posted October 4 I am not knowledgeable of histamine issues, but I do know that the rotisserie chicken (such as from Costco or grocery stores) has tons of bad stuff in it. It may be the oil / additives they use that is causing the irritation? The only way I know to avoid all the cr$$p they put in our food is to purchase organic, whole foods, and cook them yourself with healthy oils, organic herbs / spices. Simple, one-ingredient dishes. Easy to pop a chicken breast or thigh into a crockpot or insta-pot and serve with cooked fresh vegetables, e.g. The Weston Price Foundation is a fabulous resource.

But the one yesterday was from Walmart and that's when I had it happen Ah... Well, now you know to avoid Walmart rotisserie chicken, for sure. It is possible you've become sensitized over time to whatever they add, too. I used to buy them from Kroger and Costco, but stopped once I realized how "polluted" they are. You can search the Weston Price Foundation website for other articles / podcasts on histamine issues. I am so sorry you are going through this. WD is bad enough, without having to deal with food issues. It is hard for me not to get horribly angry - both with the "system" and at myself for being duped for so many years. But we can only go forward and prolonging our stay with negative emotions only impedes our progress / healing, I'm convinced. And I always remind myself that as bad as it is, others have it even worse. This week, I am grateful for an intact roof over my head, electricity, access to food, etc. as I think of the victims of Hurricane Helene, war all around the world, famine in Africa... As hard as it is, I try to write down every day things for which I can be grateful. Hang in there, you will get through this. Prayed for you this morning. I am not a doctor.

It is possible you've become sensitized over time to whatever they add, too. I used to buy them from Kroger and Costco, but stopped once I realized how "polluted" they are. You can search the Weston Price Foundation website for other articles / podcasts on histamine issues. I am so sorry you are going through this. WD is bad enough, without having to deal with food issues. It is hard for me not to get horribly angry - both with the "system" and at myself for being duped for so many years. But we can only go forward and prolonging our stay with negative emotions only impedes our progress / healing, I'm convinced. And I always remind myself that as bad as it is, others have it even worse. This week, I am grateful for an intact roof over my head, electricity, access to food, etc. as I think of the victims of Hurricane Helene, war all around the world, famine in Africa... As hard as it is, I try to write down every day things for which I can be grateful. Hang in there, you will get through this. Prayed for you this morning. I appreciate that. And I think you might be on to something with maybe become sensitive to the ingredients. I thought that the food was.my go to. Easy and everything. But I had a couple I placed in the fridge and was.munching on them for days. And I think that may have made it worse for me now that I am thinking about it. I will just make it at home now oh well. I think it sitting in the fridge didn't help me any for me. I know that histamine builds up pretty high especially in the fridge.like that and the.cooking process plus the bad stuff in it. Hopefully it will pass in the coming days and be better. I agree some people have it worse than others for sure. I am praying for you also. We all need just another to comment or interact with amd get some more insight on things. I appreciate it so much.

I appreciate you so much. I agree I just hope that it was just the chicken messing with me . I did feel upset stomach the last 3 to 4 days. But today it was better. Of course I ate eggs 3 different times cause they are low histamine. some oatmeal and some almond butter. Giving stomach a break today . Bowels are still not great. But I take the things I know will help. Which oive oil seems to help a little. Himalyan salt definitely works. But all give me diarreha usually in the morning and that's it for the day. Should I be worried about sibo or anything like that . I know the bowels get messed up quite a bit . And since I am not going like I should . Or should I take senna a natural laxative on occasion.i haven't been back to a dr since August. All blood work was normal then. Weighed 212 then now I weigh 183. That's with clothes on.

Sonia009 Posted October 4 Posted October 4 @sandman79Hi, just a thought but do you eat a lot of eggs? They can cause constipation because of their high protein content. I eat eggs but have cut down on them recently because they give me a headache and make me feel a bit sickly. 2008 10 mg Citalopram, 2.5 mg bendroflumethiazide 2021 reduced Citalopram over three years,2023 5.2 mg Citalopram for approx. 1 year Sept 2023 taken off Citalopram and bendroflumethiazide , put on Amitriptyline 10 mg and Ramipril 2.5 mg October 2023 taken off Amitriptyline and Ramipril put on Propranolol 10 mg October 2023 put on Losartan 25 mg November 2023 taken off Losartan on Propranolol 10 mg December 2023 now on 2.5 mg bendroflumethiazide + Citalopram 0.5 mg. February 2024, taken off bendroflumethiazide, on bisoprolol 1.25 mg February 2024, taken off bisoprolol, on ramipril 1.25 mg + 0.5mg Citalopram, stopped ramipril. June 2024 0.45 mg Citalopram. July 204 0.4 mg. ( nothing else). October 2024 0.2 mg Citalopram possibly for a few weeks error in measuring. Oct. 15th back up to 0.3 mg, symptoms too bad.

As you know, I have slow peristaltic action too so like you am trying to find answers.

Oh I understand that sorry for for the confusion. I agree totally. I just know that the last 3 days something has changed was getting upset stomach after eating which before that was fine just the slow bowels. Maybe I can skip the eggs and eat my oats . I am limited on what I am eating . And if i have to find something that works and eat it all the time if need be. I just know was excited last month cause eating was great. Now this. Just hard to know what's coming next. And bowels I don't like being slow cause I don't want tonget things like sibo or anything.
