A more likely (IMO) theory of severe panic attack has been proposed.

Ive been given a travel size tube of Gutology toothpaste.
I was expecting an overpriced non fluoride toothpaste, & was surprised by how clean and natural it makes my teeth /mouth feel. You need less on your brush so its not as expensive as it first looks. Well worth a try for your mouth microbiome.

Trying to work out what caused a new reaction? Did you check stacking?
Eg sorbitol causing diarrhoea.
Apples previously fine, few cherries, no probs. That small plum.. OK , but eating all 3 in a short space of time instead of 2g sorbitol you might be eating 5-10g
Histamine can stack like this too.
