can food cause this?

so the last week and a half I have really not eaten healthy or workout due to work issues.
I have been living of takeaways and junk food all week I have had really bad stomach pain just like pms but it cant be?
can food cause this I am bloated as I think that is the junk food, thing is everything I eat seems to taste the same at the minute I went to eat a salad last night I had one bit and felt sick????
could food have done this to me do I need to detox now?

    drink plenty of water, eat real food not junk and if you still have stomache ache go to the doctor.

    If you've been eating healthily then blast your system with a load of junk and processed stuff it could mess your guts up for a while yes.

    I used to eat so many takeaways and junk food at uni that I was constantly in pain, found out I had ibs in my 3rd year and tried to get healthy. Once you start eating healthily again your stomach will feel a lot better

    I remember when i was eating healthy for 4 months streight and then eating junk food 1 day, it gave me stomach ache for about 4 days, so yes food can do that.
    But it's a good thing actually because it means your body is getting used to healthy food and when you eat junk it's like toxic for your body

    good point my husband to be just said it like putting the wrong fuel in a car you need to add the right fuel to make the car go.( you need the right food to make the body go) MEN AND CARS LOL

    thanks guys

    Most any time now that i eat something that is not fresh or clean i will get a stomach ache. Even if i just eat a few bites of it, the distress it causes can last for hours even . Sometimes i will still have something knowing it will cause me grief but very rarely these days as i am not a fan of my stomach hurting for hours.

    So yes, processed foods and junk food can surely do that to you . I also notice when i have something with artificial sweeteners in it as well it does that.

    I get this also when I have bad food. With me it is due to IBS
