Anyone have tingling and cold sensations only after eating? I get it most times, along with soreness in my neck, head and jaw joints. It seems to irritate my nervous system somehow.

Rick, by any chance are you consuming any aspartame? My lymie sister gets this when she accidentally ingests anything with an artificial sweetner in it.

There is no real pattern...it has no link to what I eat. I've ruled out allergies or hypoglycemia.

I wonder if it could have anything to do with the actual "action" of chewing that is doing something to the nerves in your neck and causing the tingling and abnormal skin sensations (cold) like a pinched nerve as well as the pain in neck and jaw.

I have this too, but I have no idea why. If you ever figure it out, let me know ASAP. I want to know too!

Okay, here's a guess. Perhaps your liver and stomach are working so hard at digesting that the rest of your body is on its own for a little while there.
In ancient times, certain foods were considered "cold" or "hot" for how they either were easy to digest (warm or hot) or how hard they were to digest (cold).
In 1978 I helped Dr. Mana to edit a book he wrote called The Eastern Theory of Diet (Bajrcharya, 1978).
In this book, Dr. Mana shows how diets can be developed based upon body type, seasonal fluctuations of weather and the taste qualities of different types of foods using the energetic concepts of Vata, Pitta and Kapha.
The important thing I saw was his ability to offer dietary advice in complete harmony with his understanding of the disease process.
Ayurvedic doctors in the past took the time to classify all common foods and spices via the TAM system of energetics.
Therefore, if a person has a Pitta (inflammatory) disease, and was being given herbs to reduce Pitta, it only made sense to prescribe a diet containing foodstuffs that also reduced Pitta.
Following his lead, I developed a list of six diets that address the most common energetic imbalances seen in the clinic. It is based upon the common TCM and TAM diagnostic concepts of heat, cold, dampness, dryness and wind.
If you figure out the major causative factor(s) in an illness, you can easily prescribe a diet that will help overcome the problem. . . . . cont'd at link above.
