The side effects I experienced were fatigue, inability to focus, and intense bouts of hunger coupled with diarrhea. But I have struggled with IBS-like symptoms for years. Although it comes off as an inconvenience, it’s never really affected me in a physical way. You just go when you go. I’ve never felt fatigued or dizzy because of it.

All I know is that for the last few mornings, I feel good until I drink the cilantro smoothie, and then for the rest of the day, I feel off. Like my body is either lacking or has too much of something that it shouldn’t. I actually went to the doctor for a blood test because I was very concerned that something was wrong with me. My girlfriend is convinced that it is the cilantro, but really have no way of knowing without eliminating it from my smoothies and monitoring how I feel for the next few days. Which is what I am starting today. Same smoothie recipe, sans the cilantro.
