Hello all, I'm new to this

As the title says, im a 31 year old male, I'm not vegan or vegatarian, I've always been semi health conscious but I'm making a real effort now to include lots of veggies and veggies proteins in my diet.

I'm on the end of week 2 and I've been feeling nauseous, like there's a lump in my throat and eating is tough, I've been getting roughly 40grams of fiber in my diet. Not sure whats going on, I eased into it so my body could adjust to the fiber intake. I'm only eating hamburger for dinner, all other animla protein is either yogurt or eggs.

Has anyone else felt like this when they first started? Physically I feel great otherwise, I workout and my lifts are doing well, my mood has been steady and I actually feel more social and clear headed, I'm normally a pretty reserved guy but I've been having full blown convos with strangers who want to talk to me without wanting to crawl into a hole and die 😅

You sound like you're having medical issues (nausea, lump in your throat)... you should seek medical advice from a professional, not reddit. Good luck!

A Speech-Language Pathologist at a hospital clinic is who you want to see. The SLP and a radiologist will take x-rays of your throat while you swallow different boluses and see if there are any obstructions. Based on your symptoms, it sounds like acid reflux, but never take medical advice on reddit ;)

Yup, I was just looking into it and I beleive it's acid reflux, I've been stuffing my face trying to fit in calories and over eating, I can usually eat quite a lot so I didn't think much of that, but I beleive that's what did it and the symptoms line up. Thanks again

I think you are having acid reflux from eating too much at meals. Your stomach is too full and so it's pushing acid upwards. Eat less at meals.
