Hello!

Has anyone experienced puffiness in response to food changes before? What could be causing it? It has been going on for about two+ weeks now which is about how long I have been making major changes to my diet to more consistently healthier foods but nothing too out of the ordinary and I have no allergies.

The last time my hands swelled up was either up a mountain or at 6 months pregnant!

Thanks!

    if you're seeking medical advice on the internet - at least try webMD. otherwise ....

    SEE A DOCTOR.

    I would go have that checked right away there are a lot of things that can contribute to swelling. . High sodium levels, diabetes, arthritis. . . and the list goes on. . I would recommend seeing your MD

    I would go talk to your doctor especially since you have PCOS. It can cause a whole host of problems..

    I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a food i was eating and my BC at the time

    okay not wanting to sound mean but you have swelling in your neck and hands for over two weeks ,and you have to ask strangers what you should do?

    there are people , they wear white coats. they can help

    Becareful, drink lots of water and if it doesn't subside in a couple of days then you need to see the doctor it could be a cloged artery or something else.

    The last time my neck and jaw swelled up, it was from tonsillitis. The time before that, strep throat. Hopefully your reluctance to see a doctor isn't spreading an infection around.
