I finished phase I fine and began phase II. At some point during phase
II I went out with friends to eat a hibachi dinner. I ordered chicken
& shrimp and veggies and ate a small amount of brown rice. Before the
meal was ended the server gave me a small portion of cooked noodles,
which I sampled. When I swallowed the mouthful of noodles (probably
too much in one gulp) I experienced (1) difficulty swallowing, and (2)
dizziness during and after the swallow. The dizziness lasted just a
few seconds and did not return. I also knew I had eaten too many carbs
because that night I woke up in the middle of the night with leg
cramps, a symptom I'm now familiar with.

Can anyone relate to these symptoms (difficulty swallowing and
dizziness)? I'm thinking of speaking to my MD about it, but until I
get to see him I'm concerned.

Sounds like an allergic reaction.

Are you allergic to peanuts? Perhaps the noodles, or something else
you ate, triggered an allergic reaction because of being
cooked/prepared in peanut oil, cross-contamination, etc.

Yes, just to play it safe, it wouldn't hurt to see a doctor.
