Detox??

[Hannah]

I was just wondering if any of yall have experienced burning and itching in your lips as detox ... this has happened a few times, and I am wondering if I am maybe allergic to something or if this is just a detox response - I am thinking it may be caused by garlic (I made/ate sesame, shoyu, garlic kale today) :confused:

I am somewhat concerned as my lips are now very red (ok it's pretty, but its been hours) and they're starting to swell :eek: . Does this sound familiar to anyone's experience - will this also pass - or would you pass on the garlic if you were me?

bumping up to see if anyone has any experience with or thoughts about what this could be ... thank you!:)

Hi there I get this with tomatoes (Ive tested intolerant to all the nightshade plants). This does sound like a bad reaction i would cut out the ingredients that dont grow naturally & see if you have same reaction. Shoyu probably has MSG in it ? This can react badly in alot of people. HTH

Thanks Crystalmoon ... I just checked the bottle of Nama Shoyu - it has no MSG in it ... its just unpasteurized fermented soy sauce (4 ingredients without any chemical names) - I'll keep my eyes out for my future reactions to garlic.
