leigh Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Hey everyone, Its my first time posting here at the Forum although I've been lurking in the background since I started my Whole 30 26 days ago (ok so technically I started Sept 1st, but knowing that I would have to restart since hubby and I were going on an anniversary weekend away and I knew I wouldn't be able to stay compliant). Anyways, its been REALLY helpful reading the timeline of 'What to expect" symptoms on the website because it kept me from feeling like I was going crazy. But I've hit a bit of a wall the last day and a half and no idea why. I woke up yesterday morning feeling ... well feeling kinda hungover. The kind of headache I would get from one glass too many of red wine. (although obviously I haven't had any) And nauseous. And some not fun intestinal stuff. It started on Sunday night after dinner so I'm wondering if its a reaction to something I ate? Not in a food-poisoning type way but maybe something I'm actually sensitive to? Sunday we went out for dinner to a steak house and I did my best to make sure everything was compliant. Had a steak, baked potato, a salad with a balsamic dressing (which they assured me had no sugar although I find that surprising). Fried mushrooms and onions on the side. Otherwise nothing else. But I came home with crazy snack cravings (which I haven't had in weeks) a headache, and rumbling stomach. Here I am two days later and still feeling weird. Anyone else experiencing something remotely like this? Or is this more likely a really weird bug I've picked up? Normally I'd chalk it up to just being plain old sick but it just doesn't feel like that..... Thoughts? Insights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted October 14, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2014 Steak houses often dust foods with flour when they fry them, so you may have consumed gluten. Gluten can generate the symptoms you are describing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leigh Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Really? Wow Thanks Tom. I tried to let them know what I couldn't have but the waitress was less involved/helpful then other establishments I've been to. (After reading tips on the website I made a point to not imply I have allergies since this creates unnecessary work but I wonder how serious they take it otherwise) When I start my reintroduction week, I'll see how I respond to glutten....
