This is ridiculous.
For years he's suffered intense bloating and loud belching after certain foods like bread and pasta. And capers. Once he ate capers in a salad and his nose swelled up so much it split. We've also discovered there are capers in tartare sauce.
So he's had a lot of discomfort. It took a while for him to link his misery to these foods. White potatoes also do it.
Except now it's not just bloating and belching. He's unconscious. I cannot wake him up for at least 30 minutes. And when he does wake, he feels horrendous like he's in a fog after a violent attack or something.
He had tartare sauce with fish and chips at the zoo with ds3 last week and knew that he simply had to get home asap in order that his body could go into lockdown and he could get into his deep sleep.
He loves corn. We didn't think there was s problem with corn. He had some on Friday and the belching started. Then today he had three roast potatoes. I told him not to. And he's stretched out on the sofa, in an emergency sleep as he calls it. It's deep and he can't be woken until at least thirty minutes into it.
I'm so worried. He's agreed to go to the doctor again. Previously they've just dismissed him as being allergic but haven't tested him for what exactly.
It seems to me that we are slowly discovering he is allergic to more and more foods and his reaction is extreme in that he feels the need to conk out.
He's also constantly tired. He will happily sleep twelve hours a night and then nap in the afternoon.
How can we make sure the GP doesn't dismiss this health issue? He's been dismissed a lot.
