What Causes Fatigue, Diarrhea And Dizziness After Eating Brie Cheese?
Hi, I have an allergy to penicillin. I ate brie cheese with the rind. Its been 3 days, i have been experiencing fatigue, diarrhea, and dizziness. As I was watching a show on how Brie was Made, now I am wondering if my problem is related. Please help.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
No, it is not likely related to this. An allergic reaction to penicillin or a related product would more likely present with some skin disturbance such as rash, itching, even if associated with other symptoms.
It is possible that you have a viral infection involving the gastrointestinal tract. This would cause diarrhea and the fluid loss from the diarrhea would cause fatigue and dizziness.
You need to consider replacing the fluids that you can losing.
I hope this helps
