Your Turn

Has a food poisoning case completely turned you off to the food you got sick from or can you still eat it? I got sick from scallops when I was in the 6th grade and I still have a tough time eating them, and other things I have been sick from I am wary of. It is amazing how a night of puking will get you to rethink certain foods.

  4. I've puked up many a lung from too many beers but it never stopped me from drinking more.

    I don't think it would deter me if it's a food I really like and have eaten lots of times before without incident.

  7. Wine, March 1981. I thought I was going to die. I haven't had red wine since, the smell alone makes me gag.

  17. Jack Daniels and Frosted Flakes.

    In high school I got drunk one night drinking Jack Daniels on an empty stomach. The next day I woke up to vomit on the side of my bed that included the previous morning's breakfast. NEVER AGAIN.

  18. I have gotten sick from various food/beverages over the years and would avoid the offending item for a while (sometimes years) but eventually got over it. My first memory was in grade school getting sick off a little carton of chocolate milk. I will not drink that type of chocolate milk to this day, but Nestles Quik is fine...

  20. Just this past year I had one of my usual Lean Cuisine lunches and I noticed the stuffing had some black gel like substance. I took a little taste, who doesn't wanna try black gel, right? It was very bitter so I didn't eat anymore. That night I woke up and ran to the bathroom. It was not pretty.

    I still can't eat a Lean Cuisine meal and I've got a bunch in the freezer.

  22. @Sugar, do you remember how around Easter I told everyone how I have a huge egg hunt for all the kids in the area and basically whoever wants to come and smoke some hams and sides, basically giving everyone a Easter picnic? One of the things I make is about 6 dozen deviled eggs (6 dozen whole eggs, so 144 deviled eggs)using my Grandma's old recipe, the only difference is some finely diced jalapeno's and Worcestershire and a bit of hot sauce. Every year, there's never a single one left.

    OT: Never any food but I found out I can't take Cephalexan. I had just had a knee surgery and the doctor gave it to me to avoid an infection. He actually told me to take 2 at a time, 4 times a day. I took the first two and I felt like I was going to die. Everything was coming out both ends for over a week, a high fever and chills. Had it been recent i would've sworn I had Ebola. When I called and asked them to prescribe a new antibiotic, they told me just to take it with yogurt. Needless to say I just used triple antibiotic ointment and hand sanitizer on it and it was fine. But never again with that stuff. Another doctor tried to give me some about six months ago and I said "No" quicker than his words after the name came out.

    1. Rowdy, do you make them with mayo or vinegar? Maybe that's everyone's problem is that they've only had ones made with vinegar. The mayo ones are where it's at, yo! Jalapeno and Worcestershire and hot sauce sound amazing too. Can I come to your Easter party next year?

  30. I was 17 at the time. I am 45 now. I was going home on a friday night and stopped to fill up my car. This gas station had a small restaurant attached to it. They sold BBQ sandwiches. The guy working thought I was cute and gave me a sandwich for free. It was no more than an hour later that I had projectile vomiting. I threw up 15 times in a row. My mom ran in to see what was wrong and witnessed it. I, like a fool, decided to rinse out my mouth a get a drink of water to get rid of the taste. My mom was shouting at me to stop but it was too late. I then threw up 15 more times. She said I should never drink water after something like that. That was around 30 years ago, and I have not had a bbq sandwich since. I am scared to eat them.

  32. @Bacon Ranch - Thanx! I can eat eggs with no problem, doctors think it's the hormones/steroids/anti-biotics given to the chicken that causes me to have this reaction. It just sucks... I have to be very careful where I eat at, especially at people's home if they're cooking.

  37. I've never had food poisoning and I haven't vomited in 20 years. In my entire life the only times I have vomited were after I ate ice cream. But I eat ice cream all the time and don't vomit so - go figure.

    I have a phobia about guacamole. I never eat it. If they accidentally put guac on my burrito after I say no guac and then they scrape it off, they get the look. As in, not good enough. There can't even be a TRACE of it on my burrito.

    Guac on Mexican food doesn't make me vomit but it does make my stomach seize up. It's like my digestion just stops. And I sit there groaning for hours.

    So, no guac, ever.

    Not that fond of avocados as a result.

  38. All this talk of puking is making me hungry.

    As for deviled eggs. Love them. - never heard of Hot sauce in then but it sounds interesting in addition to the Worchestshire / jalapeño. BUT MAYO ALL THE WAY BB! (Never vinegar. Just like potato sakad. NEVAH Vinegar...or pickle)

    This might make people puke. I love mayo! (Like my Dad) and we put mayo on our home made (ground beef) tacos. I know. I know. But it's sooooo good. But the tacos have to be home made and ground beef. Or Del Tacos soft chicken tacos.
    I wouldn't put a deviled egg on my taco though.
    My Dad used to get a bowl of mayo and out a few little pieces if left over roast in it and eat it. When we'd make him a sand which we'd laugh and pile the mayo on both slices if bread as thick as it would stand. Then we'd watch him bite into it. He'd always say, "yummmmmmmm".
    Anyone puking now?

  45. Shrimp, after having no issue with shrimp, threw up after eating it two times in a row so I avoid it.

    Egg and pasta aversion acquired in childhood. It's the texture makes me gag.

    I have progressed a little on the pasta aversion - I can handle lasagna, gnoccis and ravoli but they have to be hot hot hot, lots of filling or meat and cheese. Once it gets lukewarm the gag response starts. I don't go out of my way to have it but you know you go to weddings and events or someone's house and this is what they serve I give it a try now.

  48. @rowdyrodimus Me too on all cephalosporin-class antibiotics. Had a shot for some infection, and less than an hour later, I was giving a talk and folks came and grabbed me. I was no longer breathing - just gasping between sentences.

    Food-wise: Din Ho. Austin Texas. Ate there weekly and then one night (peking duck with buns) it was over. Woke up to SO heaving at the toilet, I went in to see about him, and as I tried to get him a towel, I started in the sink. We were curled up for 3 days on the sofa together. Our bathroom(s) survived. Sadly, 1x outta 100 was enough. No more Din Ho.

    Lastly - no Borden's Whole Milk, or anyone's whole milk at this point. Eternal vomit and cramping. no whole milk evahs.

  56. Kashi Heart to Heart cereal (or whatever the Cheerios knockoff w/little hearts is called), and half a PBJ sandwich. I was going through a period of being inexplicably nauseated, was going out to a club, and thought I could handle this much...only time in 25+ years of clubbing that I've ever puked in a venue bathroom. *shudder* (Someone took a crowd shot photo w/me in it and used in on the headliner's website for several months; you can see me hanging onto one of the stage monitors and looking somewhat green at the gills.) The only restaurants I've ever gotten sick in were, oddly enough, Indian ones, and in both cases it wasn't the food that made me sick, and I still snarf Indian food quite happily.

    Liquor I can no longer face: tequila. Tequila is NOT my friend, nosiree...July 1, 1989: my sister is visiting me for several weeks down in Athens, GA; it's her birthday, and she wants to go out and have frozen margaritas somewhere. First, though, we hit The Grill for some seriously greasy retro-dineresque chicken breast sandwiches and fries; then it was off to hit all the bars in downtown Athens, only to find that NONE of them had frozen margaritas (it HAD to be frozen, you see). Finally, we ended up at Gus Garcia's, a downtown Mexican restaurant that an acquaintance who washed dishes there called "Gus Gonorrhea's", so that's how I've always thought of it since. Yes, they had frozen margaritas, and served them in a wine carafe; you could get half a carafe or a full one, and my sister decided she wanted the full one, so OK. Get the carafe, try to pour it out, margarita is too frozen to pour; take it back up to the bar, whereupon the bartender grabs the nearest bottle of tequila, slugs a whole bunch in, chunks it up w/a bar spoon, and hands it back to me. My sister had most of the carafe, and I had one teeny half-glass...guess who was sick as a dog when we got home? I didn't actually throw up, but I probably should have; as it was, I was curled up on my bed in a fetal position while my sister yammered away on the phone in the next room with a friend of hers, all the while thinking "Please, Lord, just take me now!" So no, tequila is not my friend, and never ever will be, thankyouverymuch.

    1. Oh Sherry. I wasn't gunna share this because it is still too fresh and humiliating. But you know much I love entertaining you.

      When I was around 16 I got food poisoning from a Big Mac in Prague and was really sick. I totally gave up meat for over 10 years. I only started to eat meat again a couple years ago when I was traveling and I am still kind of sensitive to red meat.

      Several weeks ago, I was at a work function. I got super sick immediately after eating the catered fajitas. That's a San Diegan for you- we do NOT fuck around with the Mexican food and this stuff was grade D animal shite garbage. (I was starving, don't judge). I've never eaten anything that just immediately needed out. I tried to sneak out an emergency exit and sprint for the bathroom but this security asshole told me I had to go out the other way. I totally didn't make it and puked all over a bush in front of about 50 grad students and postdocs. Fucking mortifying. The worst part was that I'm sure people thought I was drunk but I had NOTHING to drink yet. At least beer would've helped it come up smoother and made me less horrified. I was so sick.

  59. Since we're being gross I'm remembering my last vomit session 20 years ago. I forget what caused it. But I remember waking up in the middle of the night thinking "Oh, I'm going to throw up." Then I didn't. An hour later, "Oh, I'm REALLY going to throw up now." Then I didn't.

    Third time was the charm.

    I was wearing a nice flannel nightgown, I knelt in front of the porcelain throne and heaved so violently that I peed all over myself, the floor and my nightgown. So I put it in the sink to wash it and then got in the bathtub to clean myself off, then went back to bed.

    Initially I felt great. Then over the next 45 minutes I realized I had another round of vomiting to go.

    Same thing, peed all over myself.

    Fortunately I had several clean nightgowns!

    The feeling right after emptying myself out and getting into bed all clean in a fresh warm nightgown was indescribably lovely.

    But I had a couple more rounds to go. Then I slept all the next day, I was so weak. A friend brought me juice and chicken soup.

    That was the last time I threw up.

    I have to say, the moment before I threw up was worse than the actual vomiting - THAT was a relief, albeit temporary the first three times.

  60. OK, this was actually the result of a viral illness when I was a kid but the food itself was so gross that I wonder I ever ate it and it tops anything here. My best friend's mom made us a meal, part of which was a SALAD (wait for it-) made with about 1 inch cubes of balogna, ice-berg lettuce, and vinaigrette dressing. Add to that the peanut butter cookies afterward and you can imagine what came up that night. That was over 40 years ago, made quite an impression!
