fatigue after eating

May 24, 2006

Hi,

I am so tired (lately) after I eat. I had some freshly made

soft tacos with lettuce, tomatoe, onion...and I am so tired after

I eat it (also w/ chicken). Is this from digestion alone or something

in the soft flour tortilla itself ?

I want to take a nap :-)

Thanks.

Maggie

I get this too, and it comes from my liver. When the liver is very

overloaded, any sort of digestion puts an additional load on it, especially

fatty foods. Sometimes after an avacado I feel like I want to pass out! But

I notice that if I keep on a low fat diet, its a bit better. When I was

eating a lot of fats, I could get tired after eating almost anything.

Side note, skip the wheat! Bad in many ways, and I am sure is

contributing...

Hope this helps!

Thanks ! I thought I was nuts or " Baja Fresh " was drugging me in their

tacos ;-)

Wheat ? Could that be in the flour tortilla (do you mean wheat gluten ?)

It was a white tortilla.

I practically drank all the salsas because I am addicted to Mexican food !!!

No problem. And with chains like Baja Fresh, you never know! Seriously, I

have learned to avoid as many restaraunts as possible, especially the big

corporate ones. You just never know what you are getting!

Funny, as I actually had the same experience last time I really binged on

Mexican food. I got so tired I passed out on my friend's floor!

Yep. Gluten is a lot of times bad for Candida folks, and the carbs could

contribute too.

> I practically drank all the salsas because I am addicted to Mexican food !!!

I know that feeling! I LOVE Mexican food too. I had to stop eating it though

for the most part, as my body just doesn't tolerate corn :-/ (or wheat,

dairy, etc).

Thanks again .

I was doing good for a while and eating very fresh and healthy

at home but those tacos were calling me and I was on a mission

as I know you understand :-) Mc's had the same effect on me.

All those chemicals !!! Now McD's is finally letting the public know

honestly what is in their food, well at least their fries which are

addictive too and full of gluten.

God, do I! I broke down recently too, and was falling asleep at work the

next day from the fatigue.

Wow, are they really letting people know? Is there somewhere I can go to see

the ingredient lists? All that stuff is SO FULL of MSG. Its amazing. And

gluten/flour too, like you say. I had a HORRIBLE reaction to some Taco Bell

tacos like 3 years ago, and have never been back. I called them and turns

out they put flour in the beef. It was funny too, they couldn't tell me what

was in there, but they could answer specific ingredient questions. Bastards.

And wheat causes major problems for some people, you would think they would

have to disclose that (Mcs puts it in their patties too).

In short: fast food is EVIL!

Yes go to www.mcdonalds.com and click on food, nutrition & fitness.

It was on the news that the fries contain milk too.

Eating fast food is like eating poison.

And, all the oils they use (soy bean, canola, corn) are probably genetically

modified. I avoid genetically modified foods, I'm sorry, they don't know enough

about what it really does to your body, the foods are way too new!
