Digestion Issues

[[sm...]]

Does anyone have problems eating red meat?  How about pizza?  I know pizza is horrible and processed, but sometimes I can tolerate it sometimes I can't.  Red meat just revs up my symptoms though, I can't think straight after I eat any red meat. How long does this last?

smuel,

I had no specific problems with red meat or pizza, but I couldn't tolerate sugar.  It would start my heart racing.

(This is tough because I am a choco-holic.)

At one point, I was nauseous most of the time, no matter what I ate.  Eventually it goes away, but everyone is different

as to how long it lasts (months for me).

I am sure, as you mentioned, that most foods have additives which could create sensitivities during the tapering process.

Obviously, you will have to make other food choices in the meantime.

Take hope in the knowledge that..."This too shall pass."

I can tolerate sugar, but not caffeine.  Its funny because I had issues with red meat before the benzo, it would just cause that brain fog feeling.  So now its like amplified.  I do not know what that means but I guess I should stop eating it haha.  I am just now starting to get my appetite back, but the brain fog always revs up after I eat. Again I had that problem before the benzo too.  I used to think I had a gluten intolerance, but it happens even when I do not eat gluten so I am thinking something else is going on:) Thanks for the feedback:)
