Does anyone else feel sick after eating bread or pasta?

Question

After I eat foods like noodles, bread, or any type of brown carby starchy food, I feel sick, headachey and exhausted.

Wondering if this is a food allergy of some sort (like wheat allergy maybe), or if these foods are just crap foods that can make you feel like that.

I am a vegetarian btw, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it..maybe these foods depletes your energy?

Answer 1

I agree with the group that it could be Celiac Disease or a wheat allergy, but (because of my own experience) I would also like to throw out there the possibility of glucose intolerance (high or low blood sugar, and/or insulin sensitivity).



For me personally (I have been recently diagnosed with glucose intolerance aka "prediabetic"), when I eat too many carbs without enough protein to balance things out (about 7 grams of protein for every 15 carbs) or if I really carb-out, then my blood sugar swings really high and then my insulin spikes and brings my blood sugar down really low. Then I am irritable, headachey, sweaty and nauseated, and I have blurred vision, and then I crash-out and can't get my head off a pillow. I also have a big history of diabetes and insulin resistance (glucose intolerance or prediabetes) in my family -- it's often genetic, but eating alot of sugary or carby foods can give you a greater risk. Other indicators of blood sugar issues might be overweight and/or extra weight around your middle whereas Celiac disease sometimes is shown up as losing weight (because it affects your body's ability to asorb nutrients). But nothing is cut-and-dried. I had a hard time getting my doctors to test me for insulin resistance because I weighed at the time about 118 lbs, which is small. But not small for me because I have an extra small frame. Now that I'm eating right I've lost about 10 lbs (in a healthy way) under the care of a doctor and a nutritionist.



Overall, I think your best bet is to check with a doctor because you could also have a combination of things going on (like Celiac and/or blood sugar and/or allergies -- or you could have none of them. If you really think you might be inclined toward Celiac disease and want to get tested, you want to keep eating carbs until you get a test done so you don't skew the results. If it's likely an allergy, then you probably wouldn't want to be eating the allergen. Just my opinion.



Best of luck to you!! The local library has some really good books on both subjects. I don't remember the names of the Celiac books I read, but the other is Insulin Resistance Diet by Mary Kay Grossman (and a second author).

Feel Bad After Eating

Answer 4

It could very likely be an intolerance to wheat, especially if you are eating alot of "enriched" wheat, which contains a load of artificial "vitamins". It would be wise for you to keep a food journal for a few weeks to see if you can identify your intolerances. Many veggies consume alot of soy-another common allergen (because most soy is genetically modified garbage that your body does not know how to process) Try some rice pasta (Tinkyada brand is excellent) and avoid wheat products for a week or two to see if that helps. Try buckwheat, quinoa, or other whole, unenriched grains. I am allergic to wheat, so I make homemade gluten free bread, pasta, cookies, etc using homeground buckwheat, oat and quinoa groats-they taste much better, and are healthier. Good luck!

Answer 5

Yes, it started about 10 years ago and I was convinced I had a wheat allergy or gluten intolerence, got tested, came back negative for Celiac and positive for a mild wheat allergy. I also went on a low-glycemic diet for years and felt much better, because I was convince my problem was Candida. But it doesn't stop there. I now have all the symptoms of diabetes and even though i had a test showing that I passed (normal fasting glucose level) I am no going back to the doctor to get better tests because I have more symptoms like Diabetic Retinopathy and Polyurea. I am not overweight, i do yoga, and I am very active. Needless to say, you need to see you doctor, and push him or her to do advanced testing.

Answer 6

Only after eating lighter pasta dishes do i get nausea.



It is my belief that it is due to NO chemical reaction, whatsoever. Rather, I attribute the mild nausea to the weight, size, and consistency of lighter pasta dishes. It does not clump together immediatley when in the stomach but spreads out and touches more nerves in the stomach causing the stomach and digestive sytem to move more than it would if the pasta was covered in a heavy meat sauce. The light weight of the pasta only enhances the twitching of the stomach and/or possibly producing more bile and stomach acid and such than is needed.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes. And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you. Visit here : https://tinyurl.im/aH1zU to find out what all the fuss is about.

Answer 8

This just started happening to me too in the last month. I have changed my diet substantially about 6 weeks ago to aid in weight loss. I have noticed that when I throw something unhealthy in that it makes me sick. Just recently bread is doing the same thing. I hope you get well!!!

Answer 9

When out with a restaurant, ask the server to keep the bread, snack mix or chips and salsa that might come before the meal. For anyone who is hungry, you'll be tempted.

Answer 10

There is a lot of stuff on the internet that is basically fat-shaming diabetics for causing their own diabetes with their bad diet and lack of exercise and general lack of moral fibre. A lot of this stuff is written by non-doctors, often with a supplement or diet or training plan to sell that they claim will completely cure diabetes if only people stick to it.



I read this interesting book https://tr.im/gsJZg that gave me a lot of useful tips about my disease and also a different perspective on the best therapeutical approach. I think you should read it too. 



I hope it helps

Answer 11

My husband has a wheat gluten allergy and he has all of what you describe plus achy joints and mood changes and stomach pains. A lot of your fake meats are load with pure wheat gluten. If you read your labels wheat is hidden in a lot of processed foods. I'd go to an a specialist and get tested. People of Northern European descent have issues with gluten.

Answer 12

I do!! It could be Celiac Disease or an allergy to wheat. That is what I was tested for and I have an allergy to it. Food allergies are 70% hereditary. My mom has all types of food allergies and I think that is how I got mine. I don't think it would be from being a vegetarian but I'm not an expert so I'm not sure. I would try doing some research on Celiac's Disease and see if you could have it.

Answer 13

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.
