I've never had that problem as long as I didn't overeat. It may have been a combination of nerves and the greasy food. It's hard to say.0

So I am in no means a "health nut," I usually eat mostly chicken and veggies but also can eat more starches and "whites" (bread, rice, chips) and empty calories than I should. BUT- I haven't had fast food in awhile and was seriously craving it today. I had a horrible day, fought with a coworker, found out the guy I had been dating is a complete douche, (10000 of excuses) and I finally said F it and went to McDonalds.
I had a cheeseburger and an order of fries, scarfed it down, and less than 20 minutes later I threw up. I haven't had McDonalds in a LONG time, did my body just freak out because of it? I don't feel sick or anything now and actually worked out a few hours later....but I am still a little confused on why that happened.
Has this happened to anyone else before?
I now know that I will NOT go to Mickey D's again. YUCK!
The last time I went there I had a Quarter Pounder with Cheese...a half hour later I was in the bathroom and lets just say throwing up was not my problem LOL That grease ran right through me but I had a HUGE craving for one so I thought ok where's the harm; I figured out in a huge hurry where the harm was :laugh:0 -

My best guess (based on a similar thing that happened to me last week) is that your body (liver) reacted badly to the sudden intake of fat because you have been eating healthier, low fat foods.
I ate a piece of chocolate cheesecake last week at work (going away party for a co-worker) and less than one hour later I felt physically ill. My liver & stomach twisted in pain and I felt like I was going to throw up. I have bad stomach issues, including a large, sliding hernia that squeezes food back up into my esophagus. I have been feeling incredibly better since I started eating healthier but...if I do eat anything high in fat I feel sick all over again.
Hang in there we all have setbacks from time to time you are not alone0 -
I know I have to use the bathroom a lot more after eating something greasy. My stomach doesn't agree with it at all anymore.0

I've been eating clean"er" than most for awhile now and every once in awhile i eat something really bad and greasy. I ALWAYS get sick to my stomach. I think if more people ate better All the time, fast food wouldn't be as bad as it is. Just a theory.
I totally agree!! I cant eat it any more, makes me sick and im in the bathroom right away afterwards.0 -
Hmmm...interesting. I've never had anything like that happen to me.0

It was probably all of the grease. When I go there I order from their new "low calorie" menu. It lists things based on calories. I'll usually get a yogurt parfait and something else. In the morning I get an egg muffin with no ham.0

There is just something about McDonalds that makes me not feel right. I haven't had it in years, but back when I'd have it maybe a couple times a year, I would feel lethargic and just disgusting for the rest of the day. I never threw up from it though, but that doesn't seem like a stretch to me.0
-
I'm sorry that you had a rough day and its probably because of inhaling it so quickly. No worries McDonalds is a weakness of mine as well. The mcnuggets are sooooo good though! Its so terrible for my stomach though. Grease doesn't sit well there...hope you're feeling better and all is well!0

Maybe you're pregnant0

I almost NEVER go to fast food, and when I do, I feel ill. I make sure our visits are only twice a year, max.0

When your body gets used to being treated right, it revolts when you throw a greasy, salty, nasty gut-bomb into it.0

Maybe you ate too fast...or maybe your body said..."ugh what is this"0

I have eaten "clean" for the past 4 months (started a brand new workout/clean eating regiment) and my husband was begging me for some Mickey Ds. I really don't like to eat out since I'm trying to lose weight, but once I walked through the doors the french fry smell was just deliciously intoxicating lol. Figured I would get what I wanted since it had been a while since I had eaten at McDonalds. Got that and a Ranch BLT Chicken sandwich (the fried one, not grilled like I shoulda done) and an order of french fries and I had stomach cramps all evening. I felt like my stomach was twisting around my spine! Must be my body's way of saying I was eating the right stuff for the past 4 months, and decided it was ticked I decided to eat something unhealthy. So good...but makes me feel so bad later. Guess it is a sign that you have been eating healthy though if your body reacted poorly to grease!0

I've been tracking for about 20 days.
And eating really healthy.
Yesterday I had a chicken and cheese toasted sandwich and some cookies. I felt really sick. Managed to keep in down but then today I have been in so much pain, my liver hurts and I'm bloated.
your liver hurts?
Yes it does
* may be completely unrelated though
How exactly does "liver pain" present?
Where are you feeling this pain? How do you know it is your liver?
Genuinely curious as I have never in my LIFE heard ANYONE say "my liver hurts"!0 -
I think the stress of your day caused it. I do notice it stinks really bad like grease when i use the bathroom after eating McD.
A guilty pleasure like McD is fine every once in a while if it keeps you on track and sane.0 -
I've had that happen to me before. I think it's because I ate too fast!0
-
well Im not sure if its like that for everybody but Ive been eating healthy as well lots of chicken and fish. well last weekend went to a bbq and had a ribeye and I paid for it big time. I was so sick .0

Yes I did the same thing on Friday except with Hardees. Learned my lesson there.0
