Intolerance to Meds/Foods Do you Experience this?

Question

I have an Intolerance to digest Lunch Meats, Spam, canned
meats, such as Ham, and Grape Pop/Grape Gatorade, which
contain Combination of Red/Blue Food Dye, HawaiianPunch
These type of foods/liquids, cause me to be ''drunk-ern Cootie
Brown'', and within a couple of hours, I require a trip to the
Emergency Room, as I experience, Severe Dizziness, Nausea
Vomiting, and I HAVE TO HAVE AN INJECTION OF
PHENEGRAN, and Recovery time is 3 Days, and I've had
55 of these spells in the past 20 months, trying to eliminate
foods, THAT CAUSE ME TO BE SICK.
I've since discovered that a Combination of Red/Blue Food
Dye, CAN TRIGGER SEIZURE ATTACKS, AND MIGRAINE
HEADACHES.
Sometimes I get hungry, for certain foods, but KNOW THAT
I'D RATHER "LIVE WITHOUT THAT FOOD", AND NOT
SUFFER, A "SPELL", AND BE BEDFAST/SLEEP FOR
10 TO 14 HOURS, EACH TIME.
Makes for a lonely life sometimes. It's hell enough for me,
much less than having a mate, to suffer too.
I don't give up on friendships....

Answer 1

Yes, this sounds a lot like my situation but I can't digest very well so I don't have many foods I can eat and the ones I can have I have to rotate and still I have bad reactions all the time. Taking any medication is out of the question as my liver can not process them.

Usually these things are caused by some immune problem. I have Lyme and another tick illness and Gastroparesis. Naturopaths are best at addressing these type of problems. If you go to one pick one that does muscle testing and treats with homeopathic remedies and flower essences.

I take UltraClear Sustain, you can get this from myvits.com, they are a good company, you can order by calling the phone number at the top of their site page. Do a search to learn about it.

I just started taking the herb Eclipta too and this seems to really be very helpful with the digestive problems and I don't feel as sick.

I take the Chinese herb Shou Wu Pian as well. I have bought that herb here as well as the raw Eclipta herb: http://www.asiachi.com/

I can't eat pickles because they have dye color added.

Answer 2

Unfortunately more and more people are developing intolerances/allergies to chemicals in foods/medications. The best thing is to avoid them. There are many products on the market that do not add this garbage in. Check out health foods stores. Even places like Safeway is bringing in more organic/natural products.

Answer 3

The foods that make me sick are different from yours. Chicken, turkey, eggs, beets, cherries, and honey make me sick with severe diarrhea for three days. It sounds like nitrates bother you.
