I have been having my ankles swelling for about 2 to 3 weeks now. I have been trying to keep my sodium levels down. I had noticed that my ankles would swell even after eating a low sodium meal. At that time I determined it might be the chicken since the swelling got worst after eating chicken for the second time in a day. So, I did an experiment. One day I did not eat any chicken for protein or any animal protein for that matter. The swelling went completely down. The next day I had a whey protein shake and I swelled but just a little. The following day I ate tuna without worsening but the day after that I ate shrimp with scallops in a very light low sodium sauce and brown rice. Right after I ate it I started feeling my feet tingle. It even went up my left leg a bit up to my thigh. My ankles got swollen shortly after that. Could this be something having to do with my body not being able to break down animal protein? Or could it be diabetes? Or Peripheral Neuropathy caused by diabetes? Please help. I should say that I had been vegetarian for about 6 years before I got pregnant with my son. I had cravings for chicken when I was expecting though I didn't give in many times. I ended up having him
