Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Hi all, I have been cooking lots of Oliver recipes over the last week and have gradually felt very weak as the days went on. This morning I felt so 'thyroidey' as I call it - almost unable to lift my head off the pillow with exhaustion when I woke up. I started to investigate what I had eaten that may have caused this problem - I normally feel like this when I have ingested something unknowingly that is having a side effect on my system (aspartame etc.) By deduction I realised it was garlic - 's recipes sometimes asking for 4 or 5 cloves of garlic and I had a meal that had about 7. Whilst garlic is good for you - I could never take garlic supplements without feeling ill before I got ill - so have been flat on my back all day exhausted and won't be having that many in a meal again. My husband is Italian and we only ever have one clove of garlic with our food as not all Italians throw loads of garlic in their food and his Mother (who still lives in Italy) doesn't even like it. Just thought I would pass this on - whilst I appreciate not everyone may react as badly as I have - there may be some people who often wonder why they feel so tired after eating certain meals. http://www.peoplespharmacy.com/2005/10/18/garlic/ http://www.rawfoodexplained.com/junk-foods-garlic-and-onions/claimed-health-bene\ fits.html http://vitamins.ultimatefatburner.com/garlic-supplement.html Best wishes Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
