Food & Drink i keep clear off

[razocaine_07]

If your like me, and your very aware of when your stomach is churning or your physical symptoms revolve around your belly, i have noticed that i can prevent some sickly feelings which can bring on panic attacks by keeping clear of some food and drinks

1. all fizzy drinks, espcially right before eating or straight after eating,
2. 'heavy food' - this would include McDonalds and really fatty foods
3. sweets high in sugar content ( probably most of them )
4. coffee/ things with caffine in

These are just things that i have made me really unwell on a regular basis to the point i feel a panic attack coming on. Especially the fizzy drinks

How we are all different... well done in manageing to identify what suited you and thansk for sharing.



I used fizzy drinks especially tonic water to relieve the churning feelings - mainly on an empty tummy. Brought up a few good burps and the nausea passed within minutes.

If it works for you (whether it's by having fizzy drinks or avoiding them) I say go with it!

For me, cutting-out caffeine has had a considerable effect.. I was drinking huge mugs of tea several times a day, now I drink no more than one cup of tea (in the morning) and a small coffee at work (in very small paper cups) and it seems to have made a considerable difference to me.. I haven't had a migraine or a tension headache for some weeks.. brilliant

I used to follow the Eat Right for your Type (Blood Group) diet and that used to help me mentally and physically in the past without question. I avoid dairy and cereal too - it just makes me feel better in myself - which is a big help generally!

I have found also that cutting down on my cups of tea has helped. I'm now drinking plenty of water instead. Mind you cutting down, i seem to suffer a bit more with headaches but guess thats part of a withdrawal type thingy.

Tracy68 I had blinding headaches for about 3-5 days when I cut out caffeine the first time - this time I reduced it gradually and it seemed to be less of a shock to the system.

Scooter Girl - could you try de-caff coffee??

LOL! Fan, you're absolutely right! I remember explaining to a friend some of the triggers for migraine - coffee, cheese, red wine, chocolate, citrus fruits and he interrupted and said "Everything that makes life worth living, then?"

I just have caffeine free coffee and tea, and still enjoy a nice cuppa.

Oh, and I love sprouts.
