unexplained health/mental health issues after abuse anyone else experience this?

Question

I just need to speak about my experience and I feel isolated in my experience no one I know in real life around me has experienced what I have went through with abuse.

Basically I have been so sensitive to sugar of any kind or salt which has made eating meals a bit difficult to deal with. I used to be able to eat junk food once a week or a day and not have it bother me but I am finding it challenging eating even "healthy" meals. I find that if I don't drink a little water after I'll experience heart palpitations that will take out at least an hour of my day. It is so frustrating because food was never an issue for me. My major theory is that my nervous system is all messed up and causing several issues. Has anyone else experienced this and how have you gone about healing?

side note: I never had an ED and do not currently have one.
