TimN Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Finished up my 30 days and I started out reintroducing 1/2 & 1/2 this morning in my coffee. Well, not so good. I felt like chugging the whole carton. Probably not a good sign. My boss thought I was having an allergy attack because I sounded so congested. I thought I was doing fine... Oh well, I guess that is something that I will have to leave off the list of safe foods. Anyone else experience anything like this on reintroducing different foods?

Johnny M Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I had a bad reaction to dairy as well...made me phlegmy and also I seemed to feel kind of itchy all over the first few times I tried dairy again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeva Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 The main reason I am doing the WHOLE30 is to test myself for dairy sensitivity (removing my already modest servings of dairy is the only significant change from the way I normally eat). I am on day 10, so I have a while to wait before I can test. The main thing I miss at this point is heavy cream in my coffee, so I sympathize. I have not had coffee in 10 days. Coconut milk coffee doesn't send me. I do not usually suffer hay fever symptoms, but my head oozed from day two through day nine. Did you experience anything like that?

TimN Posted August 12, 2012 Author Share Posted August 12, 2012 I noticed less sinus congestion(ie almost none) during the 30 days. I don't remember any strong detox symptoms, other than some tiredness. I finished my 30 days and after 3 days of just the half and half, the congestion is back, along with the dull ache I get in my teeth, and yellow thick sticky phlegm. I'm dropping all dairy again and will try re-introducing heavy cream after another 30 or 60 days. I was really hoping I was going to be okay with this little amount, but I guess not at this point of the journey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maeva Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Ughh...disappointing. But yes, perhaps when your system is fully healed your tolerance will improve. Hope so! Maeva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
