This makes no sense folks - I'm getting a slight headache after
drinking my favorite sweet treat (vanilla red tea [no caffeine] with
half and half and 1 pack of Splenda). According to the package, the
amount of half and half I used only has 1 gram of carbs. Also had this
halfway through a glass of Carb Countdown.

This is the headache I get from many carb foods, such as, the moment I
put chocolate in my mouth. This makes no sense. Does anyone have any
thoughts?

Could you have an allergy to something in milk?

I might. I don't know.

It's really weird - the trouble is knowing which foods trigger
reactions in me, and which don't.

At this juncture I'm not full blown Atkins low-carb, or at least
Atkins Induction low-carb. I freely eat green veggies, although I
don't eat carrots. Tomato juice is a blood sugar rescue food for me,
it raises my blood sugar but doesn't drop me or give me a headache.
Since I get grossed out by the idea of eating lots of meat fat, I am
trying to get the oils and fats from veggie sources.

Potatoes (which I generally only ate fried - the oil might have
"slowed them down") have never triggered me immediately the way pasta
does, although now I just treat taters as one more carb food and in
GENERAL find I get fewer of the bad headaches and fewer bad reactions.
I substitute roasted veggies and mushrooms for the potatoes.

And different things will trigger me at different times. In my
experience, a few bites of cake after dinner, no problem. A few bites
after lunch - headache city. Mind you I've cut out the sweets in
general, but I really don't get it.

Today I had a reactive crash after a lunch of lettuce tacos (meat and
cheese and guacamole wrapped in lettuce instead of corn tortillas).
Same lunch yesterday, *no problem*. Days ago, *no problem*.

The problem is, I just never know what is going to trigger a reaction
in me, or when. The reactions to milk have been isolated - but I could
have that reaction to almost anything at any time.

I get headaches from all artificial sweeteners.  I will never put any of
that junk in my body again.
