Any ideas? >> Richard, is it possible you have developed a new food allergy--an allergy (or sensitivity) to a food to which you previously did not react? I recently discovered that I am sensitive to beef and eggs. Eating them was not causing me "classic" allergic symptoms however. What they caused was my inability to lose weight. Once I eliminated them the weight--which I had been trying unsuccessfully via first low-carb then paleo to lose--just started dropping off. (And it is *not* because I have decreased calories. My caloric consumption is up, not down. You might want to try an elimination diet to see if you can isolate an individual problem food, or at least keep a journal of what you're eating and the severity of your symptoms so you can see if you can make a connection.
