Mysterious shortness of breath: What has helped you?

Wow @tonyagregg, that's great that you found the answer! So glad you are back to normal! Crazy that a food could cause such a symptom as SOB, but that's the way it goes. I will definitely look into food allergies; it's certainly possible I have been eating something consistently that could be the cause. Worth a shot to look into. Thanks for the good news update!

After reading this post I am curious if maybe it’s something I am eating as well. I do lift heavy at CrossFit and I’m curious if I’m more susceptible to a certain food. I don’t eat any type of nuts but the one thing I can think of that I consistently eat is peanut butter. Maybe I’ll try and cut it out for a week and see how I feel. I actually took a food intolerance test a while back for skin/breakout issues and since then I’ve cut out beef and tuna and my skin has completely cleared up. I know first hand how closely related skin and gut health is but seems like I am cutting out so many foods just to feel “normal” which is really stressful.

@gabrielm @tonyagregg Food allergies absolutely can cause shortness of breath. That is true for me, and I have a whole list of foods I'm allergic too. Gluten is a big one, but also a lot of others. I figured it out with an elimination diet. I pretty much eat to lower inflammation and avoid the things that specifically cause problems.
