Bad Reaction!

[CarolinaKip]

So, I made homemade pimento cheese. I had that with celery, baked chicken and my usual gluten-free soy free crackers. I started cramping up/I've been bloated since Christmas eve. After I had eaten this evening I started the bloat really bad with twisty gut pain, with pain up my back. So I know I'm reacting to something. Then my fingers begain to tingle and now my arms ache. I've never had my arms to ache, so I'm thinking heart attack. If I didn't have the arm pain, it would be a normal bloated, extreme painful reaction to something, usually gluten or soy. Do any of you have arm pain?

CK, I certainly hope that you feel better soon and your symptoms are relived. Could you have the flu or sumfin'? But, if you are concerned about other issues, you might need to consult a doctor.

You posted this on the Sensitive Thread and hopefully someone will respond soon.

I went to the DR and she took blood work. No heart attack, but perhaps reactions due to my celiac and food problems. That or I've been somewhat depressed and under a lot of stress!

I hope you feel better soon! Thanks to you both.

I have had the arm pain, Carolina. It's a weird thing. I get it in my upper arms and in my wrists. Of course it is combined with bloating and tachycardia, and a pain in my head (not a headache) where I can't bear to have my head on the pillow because my head is pounding so much. For me it has been part of the pressure-on-the-vagus-nerve syndrome. Weird stuff.
