The problem is when I have strong nausea, no food looks appetizing or tasty to me, even most delicious, luscious and mouth watering dishes.
It just gets hard to swallow.
I feel particularly bad and sick after ingesting microcrystaline cellulose, or I guess worse, silicon dioxide.

It was the microcrystaline cellulose that clued me in to my mast cell issue. When I have it (and a few other things) my appetite stops, then I get a burning in my gut, then my entire intestines become inflammed and on fire, with lots of noise. This has also happened with cheap CBD (I'm guessing from solvents). It has also happened with from just smelling chemicals. The way I figured it out was because the first time it happened - the central burning - everyone kept saying it was heart burn. But it was too low. Anyway, I took Tums and it got worse, but then I took Zantac and it got better. I didn't know what it was, but the Zantac always worked. After researching I found out that Zantac is an H2 inhibitor, Aha! This last summer when I started LDN it contained mcc. The first day I woke up a bit dizzy, the next day more dizzy, after a week I thought I was getting appendicitis. I was in horrific pain, and my brain was inflammed. Thank God someone on the LDN group posted about their experience with MCC and I stopped immediately.
I have taken sups with MCC all my adult life with very little issue, but with LDN it was horrific. And not that uncommon with LDN and natural thyroid meds. Pharmacists and docs believe that's impossible :-(
Just saying you might want to try an H2 inhibitor like Pepsid, etc. We can't get Zantac over here anymore because a batch was contaminated, but people can still get the active ingredient by prescription; rinitidine (?). It works the best. Maybe give it a try. I know it's a bandaid, but if you can feel better while you figure the rest out......
