I recently went for a period of about 1.5 months in which I was eating very little due to some psych trauma work I was doing and a lifelong history of ARFID. I eventually started to get symptoms of malnourment and decided to get it under control. On the first day, I had a smoothie, a multivitamin, and an iron supplement. Sometime about 1-3 hours after that, I started to get weird chills like when peeing after holding it in for a while, but also wanting to stretch. Then, I just started feeling FANTASTIC. Not good as in I was miserable and now I’m fine. I’m talking about better than the peak of the best orgasm I’ve ever had. This lasted for about 20-30 mins. I was just rubbing my skin and stretching my muscles, which would activate it even more. I had never experienced that, nor had I ever heard anyone share that they’ve experienced something similar.

Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Also, what the heck was that??

          It came in waves, but I usually get hit with a lower mood right after eating. That rest and digest hits me hard. I get stupid, lazy, a little confused and disoriented.

    I got this during COVID after I started taking supplements (needed iron, vitamin d, b12), and biking. The second day when the nutrients took effect and I biked for a while, I ate some whole grains and took a poop any everything was wonderful. I stretched, slept well, everything. Take care of your body and it takes care of you (how it should be anyway, bodies may vary).

    I got a similar feeling when I started taking the supplements my body needed: Iron, magnesium, selenium. I thought: wow! Is this how normal people feel on a day to day basis? It made such a difference in my mood too.

      That’s how I felt getting on regular iron supplements. This is how normal people feel all the time!? This is amazing!

    I get this feeling after a nice poop sometimes.

    I think its just your body telling you that you did good/it now has the supplies it needs to do its job. It probably has to do with relative reactance to stimulus. If you go a long time without any of a specific stimulus, you’re more likely to be highly sensitive to it. In this case it was your whole body becuase you gave it what it needs.
