Does your body reject food?

Yesterday I went to the beach with a friend and swam laps. About three hours later we decided to order a pizza. I haven't had greasy or unhealthy food in almost two months and I wanted to treat myself so I had three slices for dinner. About 4 hours after I ate I did 20 minutes of Turbo Jam (cardio) Then I went to bed. I woke up extremely nauseous at 3 am and ended up throwing up. My stomach hurts a little bit this morning, other than that I feel fine so I know it isn't the flu. Was my body rejecting the greasy food? There wasn't anything wrong with the pizza or the other food I ate that day because my friend had the same thing and she didn't get sick at all. What happened?

The short answer: yes.

After months of eating clean, I can tell a huge difference in my digestion when I eat greasy food. I've never thrown it up as you have, but I find it either too hard or too easy to go to the bathroom, depending on what type of crappy food I ate (sorry, a little graphic).

You should think of this as a small win, though. Your brain has always known greasy unhealthy food is bad to eat, and now after eating clean for long enough, your body recognizes that, too! Well done

Reject outright? Not usually, but sometimes food, especially oily food will not sit well. I feel like I will be sick and sometimes bring a little of my tummy contents up (not like a full blown puke). I do not "eat clean" as such - just try to choose good foods for my body

I find my body tends to have the most trouble with oily foods, even more so if I've drunken a lot of water before or afterwards. Also sometimes with potatoes (chips and crisps) - I find a cup of milk helps. Also if your tummy feels very acidic afterwards plain yogurt and bran type cereals help to soak up the extra acidity
