I get dizzy and foggy headed when I eat too strong of garlic

Anyone else feel this way? For example, if I eat raw garlic chopped up with tomatoes, it would be too strong and I would feel the dizzy and foggy affects. Another example, I just got some olive oil with garlic and it's really good but very strong with garlic and it makes me feel weird. I am ok when garlic is a small ingredient in food.

I wonder if this is just a common thing that anyone can have. Or if it's something related to weak digestion that I have, such as bacteria balance or a sensitivity/allergy. Or even if the garlic is helping to get rid of some kind of parasite/bacteria and I am feeling the symptoms of that removal? In the latter case then I should keep taking strong garlic until the side affects go away. Because I know garlic is said to have beneficial affects on digestion and health. But I'm not too sure what's going on here. I love garlic though.

have you tried frying it just a little bit before mixing it with the tomatoes? you know it's ready when it gets to that great fragrant smell...mmm

High sulphur foods are what messed me up in the first place, they gave me digestive issues galore. Garlic, onions, meats etc. I wonder if its ammonia that causes the foggy thinking. Is it relieved when taking fibre or doing charcoal flushes (which is one or 2 tablets of charcoal with some magnesium). That should soak up any excess ammonia. Ammonia is well known to cause foggy thinking. I have often wondered whether sulphur foods can perhaps cause yeast overgrowth. Or convert yeast into the nasty fungal form. There is a genetic mutation called CBS and if people have that they are encouraged to avoid sulphur, B6, high protein, as there body cant cope with the amount of ammonia. On one group I went on they were adamant amino acids supplements can cause yeast flare ups due to the sulphur content.

I always found it ironic that the anti anxiety diet (i.e. the hypoglycemic, protein with every meal avoid simple carbs etc) is what actually gave me anxiety. I just don't do well on high protein or sulfury foods and have never worked out why. Molybdenum is also recommended for yeast patients and that converts sulphur to the less toxic sulphite. So maybe that would help as well.

Hi Chris, cooking it a little bit, like I posted above, really changes the smell.
