hi whenever I eat a main meal of the day, id say within half an hour of that I get bombarded with anxiety symptoms flushing of the face, light headache , feeling warm for no reason this lasts for at least 2 hours then I feel normal...

ive had every test under the sun and its all normal

so just wandering if anyone else is in my boat?

Sometimes I feel anxious while eating and get a dry mouth and nausea and can't eat any more.

I think when we expect anxiety at a certain time or in a certain situation, it obliges and it persists. The mind can cause very convincing physical anxiety symptoms. I don't know how you could break the association between eating and subsequent anxiety, maybe talk to a counsellor or try some CBT.
