Clara Posted January 31, 2022 Report Posted January 31, 2022 Anyone have this? Every time I eat, like im in a restaurant or home or whatever, I get really bad photophobia, afterimages, etc..
MadDoc Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 I found that if I consumed too much sugar or caffeine, my symptoms would be more apparent. I've stuck to eating only when hunger knocks, and only enough to keep it bay. Food is the fuel that keeps us running. put the wrong fuel in the engine and the result can be undesirable. it may just be that food provides energy which can make our symptoms apparent. I'm not sure. Us humans are complicated. To answer your question, yes I've experienced symptoms after eating as well. Take care.
Jay1 Posted February 1, 2022 Report Posted February 1, 2022 I have heard that plants from the nightshade family (inc tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and egg plant) could potentially make anxiety worse (and likely hppd)... I've never put it to the test though
mikemeas Posted February 22, 2022 Report Posted February 22, 2022 What do you mean by your HPPD gets worse? Just your visuals or your overall feeling? Because maybe than there is some bad experience with food in general. Eating disorders are very common these times. Not everything is caused by your HPPD.

Like the lights get stronger, the brain fog, the visual snow etc
Onemorestep Posted April 8, 2022 Report Posted April 8, 2022 One hypothesis I can come up with is you are sensitive to glutamate now— many of us are. If you have a co disorder— such as mild mcas or histamine intolerance, this can lead to increases glutamate in the brain. (I won’t go into the specifics but histamine —> many steps —>neuronal glutamate release). one thing you can try is a low histamine diet for a few weeks. I follow the one on mastcell360.com Use dao supplements. I use seeking health. Try a mast cell stabilizer such as ketotifen (a supplement site I use, americanresearchlabs, sells it without prescription). claritin ready tabs, the one with fewest ingredients. just my two cents. I really cannot think of any other reasons except for insulin receptor wonky shit that also involves cytokine release.
NickSter Posted April 25, 2022 Report Posted April 25, 2022 I have this same issue, but for me i can bring it back to the fallowing herbs/spices: cilantro, oregano, parsley and chlorella. the things they have in common is that the are prone to (re)move heavy metals (mostly mercury) through your body. The issue is when you have to much mercury in your body it just moves it around without really removing it. But it might be only for me, because most of my issues got worse after an amalgam removal at the dentist. Since then i can not eat this stuff or my after images and light sensitifiy get a lot worse for a few hours or sometimes days. It is something you can test easily, if you eat for example a simple meal witouth those herbs, does it worsen it? And trie a little bit of any of those herbs and see if it gets worse. I now ALWAYS check every ingredients of everything i buy, those herbs are sometimes in the products you least expect it.
mikemeas Posted December 23, 2023 Report Posted December 23, 2023 (edited) Likely will be a histamine reaction or mcas. At least thats it for me. Try low histamine diet (maybe also avoid non food triggers if histamine really is your problem). Check the sighi list. For sure ask a doctor. Edited December 29, 2023 by mikemeas

I drink TONS of coffee (I am a coffee addict!) and I just read an article that mentions something about mycotoxins and ochratoxins (sp) that have something to do with mold and fungus. One time I had a bad flare and I was beside myself telling my husband we must have mold and fungus growing in the house. We don’t. This article mentioned something about mold growing on coffee beans. I know for sure caffeine makes my symptoms worse (I’m sure a ton of you guys have the same issue.) I wonder if decaf has those mycotoxins and ochratoxins? I can’t even picture myself not having my daily coffee

I start getting major anxiety, panic attacks and much worsening of vision. I feel like the coffee activates my brain too much. I need things that calm it down like benzos and alcohol.

I know, I can’t believe I have guzzled so much coffee for so many years. At this point I should be dead of long term caffeine poisoning I’m terrified of weed too, even second hand smoke/smell. I don’t drink anymore but I do take Klonopin every day. Well, I’m slowly weaning myself down…instead of like 5 cups of coffee a day I’m going down to 1 or 2. Gonna be so hard!
