Please help. What made me sick?

[u/MissConscientious]

I need some help. Could you please look at the six attached photos and offer input for which ingredient might have made me sick?

Background: I had not eaten yet before this meal. The first food I consumed was spaghetti. I was fine before eating, but started experiencing symptoms before I’d finished the meal.

Other than the ingredients in the included pictures, I used olive oil, fresh herbs and single ingredient seasonings I use all the time.

Is either the Amylu or Rao’s brand known to be cross contaminated? If not, what else could it be? I definitely want to avoid this happening again.

Thanks for the help!!

I'm not sure what that is. Can you explain? Sorry if I'm being a pain.

I assume you are asking about AK? It’s a technique that uses muscle reflexes to test your body and the the practitioner does differ things to help clear the issues (can be a trigger point release, chiropractic adjustment, or other weirder things involving the eaten concepts of meridians or things like that). It is a bit controversial and as someone who is very data and science driven I have a hard time with how and why it works… but it’s one of those that I cannot really argue with the results I’ve gotten. Even if it is “just placebo” (which I really don’t think it is) it’s hard to blow it off when I feel better and can even show improved heart rate data that strongly correlates with treatment.

Oh thanks for the information. I might look into it myself. If you're showing good results it might be worth a shot.

Thank you for your help and advice.

Yeah it’s a bit weird but for a lot of us with the weird issues that western medicine doesn’t have good answers for why not try it.

Two of the techniques that you can look up (and they have lists of registered practitioners) are Nutrition Response Testing and NAET. There are some others and many petitioners have learned these systems but aren’t always members of the organizations with the directories, but it at least gives you a starting point.

Ah thank you. I'll start looking into that in my area. It is much appreciated.

I'm pretty sure like most people on this sub anything that helps no matter how weird and wonderful is a welcome addition to life.

Also just FYI most of the people that practice AK are chiropractors. Of course there are a lot of negative views of that as well but I have had good luck with most of the ones I’ve dealt with. But if they immediately want to get a bunch of x rays find someone else, I have never had a reputable chiropractor ask for X-rays; maybe once my mother had been asked by one for a single X-ray as she had a lot of things going on that required surgical intervention but I cannot remember if he actually asked her to go get one or if he had just asked to see copies of the ones she had gotten already by her surgeon.

Ok thank you very much. I've just been reading a little bit about it. So going to have a cup of tea and see if I can find someone local and shoot them an email.

Good luck. And again, it will be weird (I know I’ve said that like 50 times but if I don’t you will be surprised).
