how do you know....

[Guest guest]

Hi - I started the gluten, dairy and sugar free at the beginning of the

year. I cheated big-time yesterday and woke up at 3AM with my ear

clogged and pressure on my face. I am not sure how to recognize if it

is bc of the food???. I sort of thought it would be like drinking beer

or wine - it hits me within 10 min. but I didn't have a reaction right

after eating bad it was much later. So now I am wondering if it is a

reaction to the food I ate 14 hours before or something else (I already

have a sinus infection so it could just be normal symptoms or a variety

of other things). When you have a sinus infection and almost always

have pressure how do you know if it is caused by the food or not? Is

the reaction right after you eat the food or much later? Jodi

food takes longer to notice. a good way to see is to go a good few days without

a certain

food, say wheat, and then add it back in and see if anything changes. i notice

reactions to

wheat and dairy not until the next day or so and it is just more snot and sinus

pressure,

nothing too dramatic (like with alcohol) but when i do not eat it this does not

happen as

much.
