What Are The Symptoms Of Nut Sensitivity?

I have been wondering if I ve developed a sensitivity to nuts. I haven t had any really for weeks. The last time I remember eating nuts in quantity, I didn t eat for a couple days because of nausea - I even went to the doctor. I just ate a couple handfuls of mixed nuts 5 hours ago and I m having pain and nausea. I actually didn t really want to eat dinner and felt like I had some gas in me and tummy didn t really want food. I took some digestive enzymes before eating dinner but it s not taking away issues. Symptoms are worsening. Some acidy feeling, cramping pains in gut. Very uncomfortable. I would love to be able to vomit actually but it feels like it s in my gut right now. Last time when this happened and I didn t eat for a couple days, my appetite immediately came back when I took some pancreatic enzymes - Wobenzyme. Thank you.
