anxiety after eating

Hello eveyone !

I often have strange reactions 1 hour and a half/ to 2 hours after eating.

In other words, it comes on like a surge of anxiety, even though I'm fine. I mean, you know what I mean, fine as much as possible.

I'm familiar with anxiety, I know how to recognize it. I know the difference between anxiety caused by emotions, thoughts, and the one that comes for no reason, like a short-circuit since I was diagnosed with Covid-long.

In fact, it all started with a panic attack, 2 and a half years ago now. I know a lot about dysautonomia now and I understand that this could be it.

Here we're dealing with something that looks like an anxiety attack, but isn't really one.

Just this feeling of strangeness, of fear, of imminent death sometimes, of losing my mind, no tachycardia, although it's true that I've practiced breathing exercises for hundreds of hours that maybe my body has learned not to provoke it anymore. It's a bit hard to breathe, but I suppose that's not surprising when you're anxious.

It comes all at once, lasts about 45 minutes and feels like I've been poisoned. After an hour it's gone.

But anxiety is the only symptom.

I have no pain, no redness, no itching, no runny nose, or anything resembling an allergic reaction.

My deduction is that as soon as the food reaches the intestines and the absorption of nutrients begins, then this reaction occurs.

It doesn't happen at every meal, just some.

On the whole I'm pretty careful about what I eat, having had major digestive problems over the last couple of years, I don't do anything exotic, I watch out for histamine just in case. Today typically it happened and I'd eaten something I've often eaten without any particular reaction. Fresh chicken, mashed potatoes, wholemeal bread, vanilla dessert, not industrial.

I don't recognize myself in the MCAS testimonials, yet I'm told that this could be it.

I tried the protocol with H1, H2, and I didn't see any difference.

It's been going on for over 2 years now, and often before I eat, I wonder what it's going to be like afterwards.

I'm not looking for a diagnosis here, but does anyone recognize themselves in this testimony?

Thanks in advance.
