Guest Hanice Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Can you or a mod here on dinet put NUTMEG in the "what to avoid" section? I believe that can kill us potsies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enid Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 What is the issue with nutmeg? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hanice Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Nutmeg has a chemical called Myristicin that gives tachycardia. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MyristicinIt has anticholinergic effects, Anticholinergics inhibit parasympathetic nerve impulses by selectively blocking the binding of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine to its receptor in nerve cells.I tell you, I did NOT use nutmeg "recreationally"I drank chocolate milk with nutmeg in it. It sent me to the hospital for two days! I just dont want anyone else to go through that unnecessarily. Especially with the holidays around the corner, all that nutmeg! Ugh!

Guest Alex Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hanice, you can definitely suggest this to the mods/admins. I cannot modify any dinet section, sorry.Truth is there are many spices/supplements/herbs and even meds that can cause tachy or that can lower the BP in those of us already hypotensive and it's possible that we don't all react the same way you did. I bet you won't be touching any nutmeg any time soon though Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh!I wonder if you had an allergic reaction? I don't have any issues with nutmeg, dill, or parsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
