Odd reaction after cashews?

[swapsicles]

I already have ibs/intolerances but mainly it's a bit of bloating, wind and possibly the runs!
The other night I had awful nausea, the kind where you sit in the bathroom waiting to throw up but it never happened, I felt dizzy and sat up in bed for about 20/30 mins before braving to lie down and sleep.
About a week later a similar thing happened but it lasted a slightly longer time.
The only coinciding thing was that I ate cashew nuts on both nights and symptoms appeared within a similar time.
I have had cashews before but not since before Xmas, could this be an allergy or just my body didn't like them? They were 2 different brands so not a dodgy batch.

Sounds like a nut reaction, avoid for now and see your gp for further tests

Yep made the appointment but not til may also bunged some piriton in my bag just in case. I had them due to random hives recently that has improved over the last couple of months since I cut right down on milk though that may be coincidence.

Are you okay with wheat, onions, garlic? Cashews contain fructans which can cause problems for some with IBS.

Onions I'm affected by but wheat seems ok I've previously had a blood test for celiac disease and all fine, garlic I think I'm ok but don't have it very often at all or have had it with cheese or similar trigger foods, my ibs symptoms aren't major just unpleasant!
