Hi there, I've been searching all over the internet trying to find something to match my symptoms. This site has some threads that are a little similar, so I thought I'd ask if anybody here has heard of this. I have been feeling sluggish for about 2-3 months, having tightness in my upper shoulders and neck, then sore shoulder muscles for about 24 hours. I finally realized it is always after eating. I have had cardio tests, allergy tests, an upper scope, all my tests are normal. The GI says it doesn't sound like gallbladder because it is upper back and neck, but I'm having an ultrasound tomorrow. He doesn't expect to find anything. I have started trying to weed certain foods out, and it has come down to always a couple of hours after I eat cheese by itself, I get dizzy, then all the aches. I don't think it is milk products, because I have eaten other things with milk and don't have the symptoms. Just cheese. If I avoid it, I will feel good for a couple of days, then out of the blue eat something else that sets it off. When I check ingredients, I alwaywy find "color" or "annatto" (which is a color). So I figured it was that, and shopped carefully, felt good for a couple of days, then ate corn chips (supposedly organic with no colors or flavors) and had the same symptoms, just not as bad. Has anybody ever heard of having an intolerance to just yellow food??? All my doctors say the symptoms don't really match anything. I'm thinking about maybe a nutritionist? Has anybody else had any symptoms matching this?
