Okay, here I go, begging for someone to help me figure out what is going on with me.

I have suffered from heart palps for years. I've been given EKGs, echo cardiograms, heart monitors, stress tests and all came out "nothing wrong" (which is a very good thing) But, they didn't stop and I got no answers from allopathic docs so I went homeopathic because the heart palps started to accompany severe anxiety. I would get these symptoms right as I fell asleep. I would feel a sense of panic and wake up shaking with my heart pounding like it was going to burst. When I looked at the clock, I would discover I slept for only a minute or so and this would go on for approx 30 minutes. She ordered me an Elisa food panel (IgG) and I tested high for milk. No milk, no heart palps!! I hate milk but used cream in my coffee in the morning. The symptoms would become intense upon falling asleep.

I've suffered for years when I eat yeast. After I consumed it, I would fall asleep for hours (with small children...not good) and wake up with a foul fermented taste/smell from my mouth. Acidophilus helped digest yeast and if I took it I got no symptoms.

Okay, I started to think I could eat yeast without acidophilus and what I have found is that I got the heart palps again accompanied with the severe anxiety when I ate yeast. No more breads, no more anxiety!

What does this mean? Is this an indication for a more severe health problem? I have never heard anyone else having these symptoms from food and my doctor things I am some sort of nut and doesn't take this seriously!!
I know we are what we eat and understand the IgG intolerances. What is up with the severe heart palps/anxiety and what causes them? It's so incredibly frightening.

Please don't tell me to go back to the homeopath. I can't afford her. I can barely afford my mortgage right now!!
