For the last year or so I have been having horrible sharp pains in my stomach and right abdomen after eating meat- usually I only get it with pork and beef- I have not noticed any problems with whole fish(I only eat the whole imported mackerel we have at work) and some chicken. The pains usually give me severe stomach cramps for the next few days- even after I have passed it out. At first I tried to rule it out as me eating too much meat and making myself constipated but I limited it to one day a week eating meat and switching the meats to see if it was possible an allergic reaction to a certain kind of meat. Last night I was eating a small amount of beef and started getting these pains I didn't finish eating because I felt like I was going to throw up and I had hives and my lymph nodes were swollen (I had my boyfriend double check to make sure I wasn't just imagining it) and he told me my whole torso and only my torso was extremely hot to the touch. I was reluctant to go to the ER because I cannot afford it so I took some bennadryl and stuck my head in the window to get fresh air so I could breathe- it worked after about half an hour of tunnel vision. The abdomen pains are still there today though. Has anyone else had this problem? Dose anyone know if this is an allergic reaction to what I am eating or could it possible be something wrong with my GI track? Any suggestions on what this might be or any known treatments would be greatly appreciated.

Last night after eating a small amount of eggs my tongue started to go numb and tingle- then it felt huge and heavy and i could not keep it in my mouth. I looked in the mirror and saw a red dot on the tip of my tongue that was not normally there and my tongue kind of hurt and looked swollen. I could breathe ok but it took almost three hours for my tongue to fit back into my mouth and half that time the numbness had faded to the front of the tongue. Today I still cannot feel the very tip of my tongue and the red dot is gone but I have a lisp that I cannot get rid of that I did not have before- it's very alarming. I heard that it could have been an allergy to the meat a protein intolerance vitamin b12 deficiency or it could be something like MS. I am planning on going to a doctor but do not know what kind of doctor to go to for this predicament? A neuro? A general practitioner? Or another kind of specialist?
