Two nights ago, I decided to cook some chocolate walnut cookies. Boy were they good. The tasted just like walnut fudge brownies. Even though I was trying to avoid chocolate, I still took my chances. Well those chances resulted in a rough morning. I always find out if a food was not good for me the next morning. I wake up with pretty much the same symptoms of weakness, nausea, bloating, sharp pains from trapped gas, and dreadful heart palps.
I know what chocolate does to me but I still want to eat it. I have to be careful with it because in the past, if I ate too much of it, I would get heart palps. This was my warning sign in the past to let me know when I was over doing it. Heart palps are scary when they just happen out of the blue after eating chocolate.This would cause anxiety sometimes but I still ate chocolate. I ate a lot of it whenever I wanted because I liked chocolate, especially milk chocolate. Now when I eat chocolate, I get acid reflux later and major trapped gas. Oh and that is not it. I also get weakness, nausea and heart palps on top of that. So now, I am more sensitive to chocolate than I was last year and beyond. What happen to my stomach? Well a fact I learned is that if you have any type of food intolerance, it will get worse with age. You think you will out grow it, but not likely. It makes sense if you think about it. If you pay close attention to your body, you will learn to recognize when its telling you that a certain type of food is like poison to YOUR body. I am still getting used to the fact that what I am experiencing is likely hereditary. To my surprise, a couple of months ago, my dad listed foods to me over the phone that he could not tolerate. They are the exact same foods I can't tolerate. Even my new sensitivites to foods such as corn, salads, and wheat.
