Drop in Body Temp. after eating...

[capercallie]

Thank you all for your replies. My daughter eats virtually no carbs; very health concious. She never chokes after food, and it has been happening for a long time. I suffer from chilblanes, my father had Raynauds Disease, so maybe this is inherited?

caper......this warrants medical investigation.....see yr GP as there are some conditions that need excluding.

Raynaud's Phenomenon being one of them.

Keep us informed.

I see the new caper is to migrate the thread to defeat the infanticidal mania of this software! So this is where I am taking up sqad's point: " after eating, blood is diverted from the muscles, skin and extremities, but severe enough to cause peripheral cyanosis as described by capercallie?"

For many years my mother held me hostage to the claim that you can't go swimming for at least an hour after eating, as blood is diverted from the muscles, skin and extremities, causing cramps. Have I not seen since then that even this is a myth?

mallam....it is a myth..........my parents told me that it was 2hours.

I take that answer as authoritative. So many old wives' tales seem to be being demythologized one minute and reinstated the next by recursive replication of equal and opposite results and/or experimenter effects or double or multiple blinds that are so effective they blind the experimenters to experimental method.

Fraid it's too late for any form of hydrotherapy to be extended by any number of hours as far as Im concerned!
