foods that wreak havoc with your stomach

[sundog]

for me it's crab - which is actually my favorite seafood... it gives me heartburn for a day after x(

[texas1928]

1. Garlic.

Anything with more than half a teaspoon and I can not sit, breath, lay down with out my back killing me. It gives me the worst case of heartburn and gas. I have actually thought I had a kidney stone or something before.

[sundog]

5. you are a vampire. i knew it.

:P

[El Fuego]

2. Green salad

I like it, but I think I must be a natural carnivore because salad doesn't like me. :(

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

3. This - sfihas. From Brazilian Middle-Eastern fastfood chain

Habib's.

I like everything from there except this. Gives me heartburn.

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

7. What' s in those thingies?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

13. Dough + many choices

Ground meat with tomato and spices, sour cheese, chicken... the problem isn't with any topping, it's the dough. Maybe it's undercooked or something. It feels like it's fermenting inside my stomach.

[AussieDave]

4. Clams - produces all kinds of nasty reactions

which involve Earth, Wind and Fire.....

[Cyndee_Lou_Who]

6. Crab?? Oh... suck!! For me it's McDonalds. Thankfully, I can live w/o THAT

Crab... mmm.

[jpgray]

8. Lots of strong coffee on an empty stomach can be nasty

x(

[sundog]

9. ha! rotgut coffee

:P

[jpgray]

12. It was soooo good going down

Then about ten minutes later at work it did such a number on my digestive system my teeth hurt. :o

[Nite Owl]

10. Iceberg lettuce

the others are ok for some reason. And tequila, oh the heartburn.

[Reverend_Smitty]

11. Pizza

I love it but clearly it does not love me back

[Dastard Stepchild]

14. Dark chocolate on an empty stomach.

Ohhh... the pain. :cry:

[driver8]

15. McDonald's food works like a laxative for me...

I always tell my wife to "run to McDonald's and get me a laxative...I'm a little bound up."

[sendero]

16. My stomach is pretty tough..

.... but if I eat something REALLY spicy (good hot and sour soup, jalapenos, etc) on an empty stomach, I'll get the hiccups. I hate when that happens :)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

17. Eggs used to bother me

They don't anymore, but occasionally my stomach returns to its eggcentric ways.

[fishnfla]

18. Krystal burgers=gut bombs

look out below!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SmileyBoy]

19. Orange juice on an empty stomache in the morning.

Makes me almost :puke:, but I need my dose of fruit.

[Mojambo]

20. Chicken Fajitas n/t

[greblc]

21. White Castle Hamburgers.....

they are called sliders for a reason.

[Pied Piper]

22. Indian and Persian food

I love 'em both, but Indian food never settles well. We have a great Persian restaurant here in Boston, on Beacon Hill, called "Lala Rokh" (I think) - the food and the service are A-plus-double-good, but I always wake up in the middle of the night wondering "WTF is going on down there!".

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. Scallops - I can't digest them

I also have trouble with other types of seafood, like abalone, clams, mussels, oysters, and squid, which don't seem to want to go down, but scallops especially give me problems.

[Dem2theMax]

24. Anything with wheat in it!

I've been taking acid reflux prescription medication for over two years. Also got headaches, really bad headaches, almost every day. After a few episodes of headaches, stomach nausea to the point of throwing up, I put two and two together and realized how much food I was eating that started out as wheat. Eliminated it from my diet and I no longer need anything for acid reflux as it is GONE and so are the headaches!

[lavenderdiva]

44. Hey, Dem!

My mother-in-law had these same symptoms, including severe diarrhea, which eventually put her in the hospital for a couple of days. There it was diagnosed that she had celiac disease. This is a gluten intolerance, which manifests each time someone, affected by this disorder, eats wheat. You may check with your doctor to see if this is what is troubling you. Your symptoms are consistent with someone with this disorder. Here is the link for the Celiac Disease Foundation's website:

http://www.celiac.org/

While my MIL now monitors her diet assiduously & reads all labels thoroughly, she hasn't had any bad symptoms for quite sometime now. It took them awhile to figure out just what was causing her discomfort, so you are waaayyyy ahead of the game!!

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. These days...anything.

:(

[sundog]

26. ack!

sorry MrsG x(

:hug:

[yellowdogintexas]

27. raw onions, esp if I eat them in the evening

candy on an empty stomach, espcially milk chocolate

for some reason dark chocolate or semi sweet is not as dangerous.

[progmom]

28. heated milk

and yet i still drink cappuccino. what is wrong with me??

[leftofthedial]

29. cilantro kills me

I get seriously ill

it never used to, but it does now.

[Kathleen04]

30. Too many jalepenos

I can handle them in moderation, but sometimes my mouth can handle the spicy-ness more than my system can. Yikes..

[mtnsnake]

31. Milk & also corn on the cob if I forget to chew it. Anything w/onions, too

[In_The_Wind]

32. bagels

for some odd reason ~ they give me indigestion

[sundog]

34. eating a bagel is like eating a whole loaf of bread

like someone just compacted it

[In_The_Wind]

38. I'm really OK with almost everything else

except bagels or hot dogs


I get an acid reaction from the bagel & I burp (very ladylike ~ right) all day after eating one hot dog.

[SarahB]

33. Milk

:hurts:

[miss_kitty]

35. Everything right now

:( I have been struggling for ages with it. No one can figure it out. So I'm eating things I like. I don't care anymore. It's fucked up. I love food.

[sundog]

37. sorry kitty

rough road for you i know :hug:

[sakabatou]

36. So milk products

[barb162]

39. raw onions

[chknltl]

40. Try Licorice Root pills for chronic heart-burn problems.

Found in most any natural foods and supplements store. I tried this stuff for a chronic/building Acid Reflux problem. 1 week later problem is gone! The doctor prescribed pharmaceuticals were expensive and did little to help my problem. I swear by Licorice root supplements now.

[u4ic]

41. Gluten and milk

Ya don't wanna know...:scared:

[peekaloo]

42. Beets

I love them but once they receive their exit visa they do not go quietly.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

43. Anything that is vinegary

I can't deal with vinaigrette dressing, vindaloos, salade nicoise, dill pickles, gazpachos that contain too much vinegar, anything like that. I get heartburn just thinking about them.

[zinndependence]

45. I can't eat anything from McDonald's

[lpbk2713]

46. Taco Bell

If you really want to put that in the same category as food.

[BreweryYardRat]

47. A weird one for ya.

Powerbars. Complete and total decimation of my digestive system.

[I Know How To Do it]

48. Sesame seeds like on a hamburger bun, and Tomato skins

I can't digest them or something.
