ever gotten ultra sick from eating fried foods?
 

i've been eating nothing but healthy foods for months now, with an occasional cheat meal, but have cut out fried foods entirely over this time.

out & about saturday night i cheated and had a big pile of fish&chips, became violently ill later and have lost over 12 pounds out the back door over the last 2 nights.

spent this morning getting an electrolyte IV, doctor said it was all due to my not being able to digest fried foods properly since i've discontinued them.

ever heard of that?

Only thought I had to say was only after binging healthy for a long period of time do i ever feel ill after eating fried goods.


soooooo yeaaaaa

I've had hambergers like that
There is a great place for breakfast in town, food is awesome, but 30 mintues later, it's cleans you out. I don't know what they use, but it works like clockwork on me

That's like a horror story to me...

Nope, never.

I'd bet it had more to do with bad fish than the shock of fried food to the body.

It means you're getting old.

I agree. I don't think you have been off fried foods long enough for it to have that kind of effect on you.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking

Yea, sounds more like food poisoning to me... to vomit so much you have to have ingested something truly bad to make the sickness escalate and maintain as much as it did.

the odd thing was no vomiting, or any food poisoning syptoms
i can't alter the fact that natural things get a year added every year. that said, i'm much more healthy than most my age, in fact, more healthy than peeps 1/2 my age.

my doctor even said i don't need certain scripts to deal with this (that he would normally give to people dealing with the same issue) as my body is so healthy it's dealing with it on it's own quite well.

I used to eat lots of shit food. Started eating a TON of veggies (3 out of 5 meals) and never felt better. Also dont have to crap as much.

On the plus side, theres not too many people that can lose weight from eating fried food.

2 millions+ results for google sick from fried foods

actually, it's bad news. not interested in losing weight, even if it's mostly water.

sounds more like bad fish to me

so what do use all he free time with your ass hole for?

the doctor disagrees with your gfy diagnosis.

Well, I've had a similar experience but I never got "violently ill".

I went to India and ate nothing but light vegetarian home cooked shit for a month. Came back to the states and started eating fried food and red meat and felt sick from it.

yup. fried foods are pretty hardcore eh. was this recently?

No it was around 6 years ago...

I eat junk all the time so I guess my body is used to it. You cleaned yours out so it's saying, what the hell is this you are putting in me.

There's a small possibility the batter was made with an egg from the salmonella outbreak. Pretty slim chance though.

i see. :thumbsup
exactly.
yeah, that was my family's concern initially and i thought the same, egg batter. but i never got *sick* no vomiting, no nausea, nothing but the squirts. ugh.

anyhoo, feeling so much better with my electrolytes charged up. doc ordered me to drink 1.5 gallons of water/sugar free electrolytes for the rest of the week at least.

Rancid oil to cook the fish and chips is my guess

nope, never got sick. rancid oil will make you sick from consumption.

I know you can grow intolerant to fried foods, not to a point where it will make you sick. I too had a stint where I didn't eat any fried foods for about 90 days, then later I had some fried meat and french fries and I felt so ill and heavy after. Staying away from fried stuff is the way to go.

Sadly it's so incredibly tasty.

I haven't...

it tastes great, comfort food. it's been 9 months since i had any fried foods at all.

once every 6 months i get a craving for the taste of McDonalds and get a BigMac and QP with cheese. and every time I feel like dying afterwards. i could eat burgers off the bbq every day and not feel that way. digestive system is a finicky thing, if you don't eat certain types of foods for a long time, it seems to react like it's been poisoned.

it's like weed or alcohol tolerance, people who smoke and drink daily just get a little buzz - somebody who smokes or drinks rarely will get wasted very quickly.

Yep.

I had a bizarre combo of tacos and fries tonight; a local (now closed) mom & pop offered them as a special once, and now I'm hooked. I'll have it about once or twice a year.

I am praying for death and hope I can vomit before the calories hit, or slide on through.

I used to have that with KFC.

I have. I try to avoid fried foods now. Since going vegetarian, I get WAY LESS stomach upset than when I used to eat fried meat.

If I am being really serious about eating healthy then anything fried or packed with sugar will leave me feeling like crud for a while.

Not had that off of fish and chips but have had it off of McDonalds.

amazing how your body can adapt to rejecting food that's bad for you. I can't do McDs burgers or fried clams anymore without getting an upset stomach.

Glass objects.

I have Chron's Disease as well as a lactose intolerance and IBS. My digestive system is a total mess.

Fried foods are one of the things that do a number on me. But I still love to eat anything that's been fried up, so I just deal with it.

By eating fried food, you're also actually eating about a table spoon of frying oil. If that oil isn't fresh or they use the "hard" lumps as frying oil, then that could cause a massive blow to your digestive system, especially if you aren't used to or have been off of fried foods for an extended period of time.

feeling much much better today. still recovering from the dehydration so won't be able to resume my work out routine today, hopefully tomorrow i can get back on that.

MY GI tract is a little fucky too. If I ate a pile of fish and chips same thing would happen to me, only add vomiting, but 1 day of that and I'm done.

Sucks that happened to you, only had to be rehydrated once before, and it was when I was at my absolute sickest. Hope you didn't wind up spending too much time in the ER to get it done.
