sleepiness

I have a question for y'all: I have noticed that when I eat till I'm full or too full, I get VERRRRRY sleepy. I also notice a change in my blood pressure when I get full or too full. It goes up, and once or twice I've had to resort to the ol' pregnancy trick of lying on my left side to get it back down. I typically eat 4-6 oz. of food as a "meal" and feel satisfied but not full or too full. Any more than that, though, and I'm a mess. Anyone else had these or similar symptoms?

Dear Jennifer, I too have noticed some odd and unexpected side effects, some of which, similar to what you are experiencing. My heart rate is generally effected when I have some sort of sugar. It goes away after a half hour or so. The weirdest thing is that now when I eat pretty fast and get too full, I have a sneezing jag. Can't quite figure that one out. So perhaps we'd be better off if we slowed things down a notch and realized we were full earlier. Hmmm. we'll see. Good luck! -Krystal

For a while lactose made me feel that way. I'd say whenever something makes you feel that way write it down. Maybe you can find a common ingredient and cut it out of your diet.

I know how you feel but I get the sweats when I eat the wrong thing.. that could be my blood pressure going up but I never checked it. hmmmm NAT
