about halfway through the meal, i had to clear my bowels. and then had to clear my stomach. the beeturia is back. and, i slept for hours.
but, now i'm awake (if still exhausted) and otherwise feel good and am actually hungry again.
recent additions to the pasta bowl:
-anchovies
-garlic
the anchovies seem like the more likely culprit. i have been eating both of these in the forms of additives for years, though. maybe the anchovies were just spoiled, somehow.
i think i have enough data to conclude it's an allergy or reaction to otherwise spoiled food. and, i'll just have to carefully analyze the constituents of the pasta bowl one thing at a time until i get it.
so, i'll try this again tonight and take the anchovies, garlic & lime out.
for now, it's time for breakfast.
