Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mayfly" data-source="post: 2728585" data-attributes="member: 20754">I have had a breakfast of Lidl Pork belly.  I had some yesterday and did feel quite sick when I got to work, but there's been a bug going around and I thought I had got it.  I felt much better this morning and had the final two slices, cooked with some butter in the oven.I ate that, no problems, cycled to work.I'm sitting at my desk now, having had two episodes of a racing heart beat.  I have dizziness, I feel sick, I have a stomach ache and I feel nauseous.  Most of these are usual symptoms for my having had a spike in sugars.  I've looked up the nutritional values and can't see anything that would cause this (i.e. no injection of glucose, carbs - at least, not declared on the packet).I mentioned the brand to be very specific.  I appreciate that Lidl is a 'cheap' supermarket and might possibly bypass some requirements?  Or it might be the cut of meat, but I have pork belly from my local butcher with no issues at all.  Is this the brand (wonder if Aldi is the same?) or what?  Too much protein?  I am in menopause which sometimes affects the way my body processes fat and I had an upset tummy which is an indication of that as well, so perhaps too much fat?  Perhaps too much fat too early in the morning?I am concerned because right now I feel as though I can't even sit upright in my chair, and I'd really like to go and lose my breakfast down the toilet.  I am really thirsty, so I'm going to go and drink about a gallon of water.</blockquote>
