• A lingering bitter taste in the mouth regardless of what you may have eaten
• A constantly runny nose
• Brilliant, blinding flashes of light that cross your visual fields
• Intestinal gas, bloating, or nausea that develops 15 to 30 minutes after eating, especially after a meal high in fat
• Chronic, recurring pain in the right shoulder or the back near the right shoulder blade or down the right side of the neck
• Painful feet
• A sore tongue
• Rectal itching
• Peeling and/or blistering of the skin on the fingers and palms of hands
