I have a friend who up to the age of 16 ate sugar (candy, cakes, soda, etc.) without any problem. Then all of a sudden develops some sort of sensitivity to it. Now he cannot eat it at all. If he just has a tiny taste or even just holds soda in his mouth (without swallowing), his heart rate speeds up, his head gets hot, he gets dizzy, and feels like fainting. Is this possible?? He's gotten checked by a doctor many times and they all claim that he is perfectly healthy..he doesn't have diabetes or anything like that. So what can explain his reaction to sugar? Could it be that it is just his mind exagerating the whole situation? I mean, he's eaten it for many years...why only now would he develop a reaction to it? His problem is actually getting worse..before it was only candy, cakes and soda that he couldn't eat..now he's even scared to eat bread because of the minimal amount of sugar it has in it. HELP PLEASE! Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
