What Causes Tingling In Lips And Boy Itching After Eating Fish?
Question: i just ate fish wild caught flounder and i have a yakult probiotic drink and after eating all of this plus other basic foods a bit later i started feeling tingling in my lips and my whole body itchy i am mildly allergic to shrimp but i've eaten fish before can probiotics cause also these allergic reactions i also got very slippy and dizzy. its been about 2 hours its seems to have calmed down. my lips still feel lightly tinglly.
Brief Answer:
Must be fish
Detailed Answer:
I dont think that this effect is due to yakult
I am in fact sure this is a reaction to the fish you have had
There is a possibility that you had allergy to its components
And this can sometimes develop slowly
The other possibility is that the fish was poisoned
The rivers are dumping grounds of a lot of chemical wastes
These collect in fish
And eventually transfer to humans in food chain

yes 5 years ago i got shrimp poisoning and since then everytime i eat shrimp i get very bloated and constipated for up to two days then i'll get diarhea, my eyes get bloated and i become very thirsty and urinate alot.. but i dont know if that is allergic or just because the shrimp is salty.. i've notice that sometimes with fish it happens too. so i buy organic fish wild caught and got same reaction even worst..i never felt all that itchy before, i started urinating alot and the got dizzy and sleepy. so i laid down and then took benedryl .. today i feel good but i was not sure if it was the yakult since i just started drinking it.. but i dont have no bloating or stomach pain... so i am thinking yakult is not it or else my stomach would be bloated. i did not get diahrea either. only itchy and tingling in mouth, dizzty, eyes felt like heavy and itchy, and sleepy..
