"Vegetarian" Having Nausea After Eating?!


Question: Hello! I've been going "vegetarian" (I'm not Vegan, that's why there are perenthesis) for a few weeks now. I've been doing a lacto-ovo-vegetarian diet where I have little to no milk but soy organic milk, cheese, yogurt (almost none) and eggs in pastry or bread and stuff. For a week now I have been feeling like throwing up. Just now I started feeling sick after I eat and I do start to throw up a little in my mouth or I do dry heaving and such. I have to drink a smoothie or water and be outside and breathe and yadi-yadi to keep from barfing. I've been having sandwiches with veggies and cheese or couscous with veggies and just stuff which is really healthy and which I've had before.
I was never a big meat eater so I only miss Salmon and some chicken.
Anyone know what's going on or has gone through this process when they cut out all meat? (Have not been eating meat for about a month or a little less now).

THANKS!

Think again about the soy organic milk - that is not what we are built to ingest and it may be causing you problems. Seems to me that is new to your diet so the most likely culprit.

Soy has got a reputation for being healthier that it doesn't deserve. Also the fact that it is organic -if things don't have the proper preservatives it is easier to get sick.

We had a lot of people here very ill with organic spinach and carrot juice due to salmonella. Sometimes the preservatives are there for a reason.

I doubt it has anything to do with your change in diet. You're either ill or pregnant.

A good place to start would be with your gall bladder.It can create unexplained nausea ,....If you have even a small stone it can sometimes get lodged in a duct.and make you feel ill.

I don't think your diet would be causing any GERD symptoms.

Just to be on the safe side have your Iron and blood pressure checked...being low on iron( which will happen to those not eating iron rich foods)can cause low blood pressure....Low blood pressure causes Nausea in some people,

People don't really talk about the things that our bodies go through while detoxing... We discuss all of the "good for you" stuff, but anywhere from a week to a couple months, your body will be ridding itself of all of the not-good-for-you things that are currently inside of it. You may break out, find yourself nausious, ect ect.

I would say, make sure to drink LOTS of water... much more than you think you'd need. You are using all that you'd normally need to flush your system.

Also make sure you get enough greens. You can take a suppliment (I take a greens suppliment in pill form that I got from Whole Foods, which contains probiotics and all sorts of crazygood superfood...) or make super food smoothies, but greens will help to balance your stomach chemistry.

If you are still feeling sick, peppermint is really good for your digestive tract, and I'd suggest a decaf peppermint green tea or a peppermint chamomile tea to drink if/when you feel ill.

Give it a little while. If you are still feeling sick in another week, start looking at other possibilities. You could try going completely raw for a week (or until you feel better) and then adding foods back in to your diet until you find out what the culprit is. (Soy allergies are fairly common, but aren't that talked about either.)

Good luck, and feel better!
