Is the sneezing a food allergy



Recommended Posts

2 tiny chicken wings and I’m sneezing uncontrollably until I vomit. It’s not just chicken wings, it’s everytime I eat almost like now I’m allergic to food. The internet says overeating out eating too fast but only 2 flats eaten slowly and it’s still happening. And the hot flashes, why? I’m starving, I’m thirsty and everything in between.

It's possible that the sneezing and vomiting could be a result of a food allergy or intolerance. However, it's also important to keep in mind that post-bariatric surgery, the digestive system is altered, and some people experience changes in the way their body reacts to food. Additionally, hot flashes could be a symptom of a larger issue such as a hormonal imbalance, and it's recommended to speak to your doctor about your symptoms. They will be able to give you a better understanding of what's causing your symptoms and provide proper treatment.

It looks like you are 4 days post op. You should be on liquids at this stage. Please call your doctor’s office. Healing is slow and you need to take care of yourself. There is a process of adding kinds of food textures every two or three weeks. You should have booklets and pamphlets on this, or watch the WLS videos on YouTube to get an idea for meals and sipping Water constantly.

Sneezing, for me, means I've eaten enough, aka 'full'. Sniffles are another sign.

Vomiting usually means I've eaten too much. I'm gonna come right out and say it: Vomiting at 4 days post-op is not desirable and could do damage to your shiny new surgery.

Call your medical team.

Good luck,

Tek

Sneezing is definitely a sign you are full. However chicken is a food many of us have trouble eating. It took me a year to master one of my pre surgery favourites. If you are only 4 days out then whoa there, contact your team for some information because your internal stitches on your new tiny tummy are very swollen and sore and could rupture if you eat the wrong foods at the wrong time

OP can you give us some background information please? My nose runs if I eat more than usual, sneezing could be something similar I guess. But if you really are just a few days post op then it looks like you're not eating the right things and could actually be risking damage.

I’m not 4 days post op. My surgery was December 9th 2022.

I have recently started uncontrollably sneezing in the past few days. I'm about 3.5 months post-op. Did you ever find out why you were sneezing like that?

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
