dizzy after eating

I strongly believe that this is due to the MSG (monosodium glutamate) in your food. The meals you mentioned e.g. french fries, salad dressing, melted chese contains high amounts of MSG! They put those in your foods to trick your brain to tell you that you are eating a very delicious food although the food may be a c**p. Check on the net "MSG Dangers" and "Excitotoxins: the tase that kills" google them. MSG causes Heart Pulpitation, dizziness, nausea, tingling, burning sensation, muscle pain, brain and nerve cell damage and huge other symptoms!!

Avoid eating outside. Because 99% of the foods in Fast food courts and retaurants contain MSG. MSG is a salt like substance and sold as Monosodium Glutamate or Azinomoto. The scariest part is that 90% of the foods in supermarkets contain MSG! because the food industry started to hide the name MSG in their lebels under different names.

Google for MSG dangers and see videos in Utube you'll be amazed. be careful what you eat!

Had the same problem for the last 4 months at least!
Dizziness s the only thing I notice, generally after a medium to large lunch (not after a sandwhich or something smaller).
Suffered a kidney stone last week!!!! Have been drinking LOADS of water this week trying to pass the thing. Docs told me it is quite rare in young females.

22 yr old female, relatively healthy diet, take away/bad foods 1ce or 2ce a fortnight, low calcium diet since I was very young (unofficial IBS, mum tried changing my diet around a bit and the low calcium intake stuck, dont think it was a cause for the IBS though), generally the dizziness happens during/after lunch.

Have a GP appointment tomorrow so if I remember I'll come back and let you all know whats going on.

I have the same problem. dizziness starts about 15-20 minutes after a meal and I feel hot, red face, nausea, and I usually throw up half my lunch. It happens a few times a week after lunch. I eat pretty decent food. All blood test comes back ok. I dont understand why this happens.

I have this problem as well. I've been suffering with thyroid fluctuations since my 3rd child was born last year. It's driving me crazy. I just ate lunch-healthy-at home and here I am on the couch feeling woozy. I did read it is common with thyroid conditions, so that is something to consider...your symptoms sound so similar...

i'm in the process of lossing wieght.i just started like 3 weeks ago. i have been eating good,but after i eat i get dizzy and naesous.Is my body just craving the extreme calorie intake it's accoustomed to or is it something eles.

I also have all those same symptoms plus I have been getting very little sleep because of them, thereby making them worse.

I have experienced this twice in the last 2-3 weeks. I am following the South Beach diet. Low carbs. I have gone
to lunch twice - and basically ate sushi. Within minutes after eating - i am super dizzy. I even asked the friend I
was eating with - if I looked OK. I thought I was going to pass out. Very dizzy/unbalanced feeling - immdiately
after eating was extremely intense - then slowly eased off - took about 1 hour. This has not happened at ANY other
time....only after eating sushi....I can only think its the carbs/rice. I know they also put sugar and rice vinegar on
the rice. I eat almost no sugar - so its one or the other or a combination of carbs/sugar. I am certain of it.

lack of B12

Could it be the MSG that causing all these symptoms? Almost every time after I eat out, I get dizzy, light headache and sometime even numbness of the tongue.

I also had recurring dull stomache aches, dizziness and felt weak all over after meals, mostly after lunch (which I used to have quite late without having much to eat in the morning), sometimes I felt so faint I thought I would pass out. It normally lasted for 10 min to 30min. Sometimes I was afraid to eat. This happened over several weeks but I never got it checked out by the doctor, I just put it down to being hungry.

Later I became pregnant and experienced the same symptoms but very severe but this time about an hour after dinner and also had was also very cold. I read up on the symptoms and thought it could be food poisoning/salmonella which I contracted a few months earlier at work (where I often ate cold sandwiches at the canteen). According to info below salmonella can disappear by itself but Could itsalmonella since I never had antibiotics to treat it and having weaker immune when pregnant?

Q. What are the symptoms of salmonellosis?
A. Most people experience diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and fever within 8 to 72 hours after the contaminated food was eaten. Additional symptoms may be chills, headache, nausea, and vomiting. Symptoms usually disappear within 4 to 7 days. Many people with salmonellosis recover without treatment and may never see a doctor. However, Salmonella infections can be life-threatening especially for infants and young children, pregnant women and their unborn babies, and older adults, who are at a higher risk for foodborne illness, as are people with weakened immune systems (such as those with HIV/AIDS, cancer, diabetes, kidney disease, and transplant patients).

I have the same symptoms of the above .. (very dizzy nearly headache, can't concentrate, pulse rises a little, and others).
Is it dependent on meals??
I want to know the solution and how can I avoid from this ?

I've had this problem for the last several years and went to see my doctor. After a battery of tests (I mean I saw every specialist in that hospital), turns out I have reactive hypoglycemia. Unfortunately that is not really a diagnosis or a disease. It is a fancy way of saying your blood sugar drops due to an over-production of insulin after eating. They were not able to figure out why it was occuring. Other than that I am perfectly healthy and was eating relatively healthy (no fast foods, no soda, no processed sugars, etc.). But it appears that some peaople are hyper-sensative to carbohydrates and their body over-reacts. This is what I have done to limit the symptoms (headache, dizziness, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, irritability, panic attacks):

-No caffiene- caffiene exacerbates the condition big-time

-Low Glycemic Index diet. For me this is more important in the morning then the evening.

-No big meals, have smaller meals with low GI snacks in between. For men watch out for soy products.

-Regular excersice (at least 45min. twice a week)

-Limit alcohol (I know, it tough but it will help). You don't neeed to eliminate it just make sure it's moderate.

-Get plenty of sleep. This one is huge especially if you use caffiene then you're getting a double whammy.

 

I had to figure out this regimen for myself, the doctors were pretty useless after they couldn't find anything wrong with me. Trust me, I know what you're going through, I was miserable (almost every minute of every day). But you can manage or even eliminate the symptoms if you follow the regimen above. Start with a strick adherence to the whole regimen. It will take a couple weeks for your body to adjust so be patient. After that you can experiment with adding in bad things (like soda, sugar, coffee, etc.) and see what sets it off. One word of warning though for me it's like floodgates, once my body gets out of whack it takes a couple takes to get back on track.

Just for reference I'm a 32 year old male, 5'-9", 155lbs, very fit, I work out at least twice a week. Blood pressure is slightly elevated (normally 125/75) but not anything that would casue the symptoms.

Last thing, this post of for all the people that have already gone to their doctor and they found nothing was wrong with them (like me). If you haven't done that first, what are you waiting for???!!! Go see your doctor!

I am a female, age 19 and I am considered "underweight" but I eat a healthy amount. I also suffer these symptoms periodically. It worries me that there is no answer!!

Did anyone find a solution? I have similar symptoms too, but every test ever conducted comes out ok. My head feels heavy, I am not able to think clearly, I have to make an effort to walk without falling. It is literally destroying my career, my life. Everytime after a meal I feel I have been encompassed by mental numbness. Back of my head feels pressurized and numb too

You all, like myself are suffering from a food intolerance. Not an allergy. Most of your symptoms are caused by inflamation. Try taking a few Advil (as directed on the bottle or by your physician) and it'll most likely go away. Then avoid fried foods and foods prepared with hydrogenated oils and/or egg yolks. Also eat less in each meal. Eat more and smaller meals each day. Eat foods that are not processed. Eat things as you would find them in nature. Example.... A 12 oz. glass of orange juice has the equivalent of eight oranges in it but without the fiber. You wouldn't shimmy up a tree in nature and eat 8 oranges and follow that by killing a pig and eating that after robbing a chickens nest of fresh eggs. In nature, that's way too much effort for breakfast and it's been processed to the point that there's very little nutrients left. I'm not a big vegetarian or naturalist. In fact, I grew up on a cattle ranch and I love beef. However, it doesn't take a vegan or environmentalist to see that all the processing we do to our food can't be good for us. Best thing to do is eat it how you would find it. Whole foods are smart foods. It's helped tremendously with my dizziness after eating.
