Hypothyroidism Diet Food Allergy

Hello. I've been hypothyroid for 4 years and take 50mcg Levothyroxine daily.
In the last 12 - 18 months I've noticed that after some meals I'm left feeling drunk; slurred speech, brain fog, delirium its so horrible, the only relief is sleep.
I've noticed a pattern particularly after chocolate, the Dairy Milk brand is poison to me, carb heavy meals too, sometimes I cannot guess at it at all.
I want to maintain a balanced diet and do not want to eliminate carbs, what advice can you give me?

- Keep a food-symptom diary.
2. Speak to your GP about this, it's not normal.
3. Whilst you're speaking to your GP ask for your thyroid levels to be checked (also cholesterol*) in case your dose needs to be adjusted.
* high cholesterol can be an indication your levo dose needs to be upped. It's worth keeping an eye on.

This is all very good advice.
I was just going to ask if you have any celiac in your family this sounds alot like my reaction to gluten.
