I've had issues with nausea and heartburn since I was a kid. I can't swallow pills because of my gag reflex. Breathing cold air makes me wanna puke. Coughing will make me puke. Two beers will make me puke. But here lately, it's been plain old food.
For the past year or two I've been having terrible nausea caused by "overeating". And by "Over" eating, I mean going to a sit down restaurant and eating a quarter of my meal. It seems to only happen at sit down places... I can stuff myself with Taco Bell and be fine, but O'Charley's kicks my ass. I don't eat nearly as much as some people, so I really don't understand this. I've even had this happen with salads. Most of the time it ends with me running to the bathroom in embarrassment. Oh, and it tends to happen more in the summer when the weather is hot.
It's really embarrassing and I think that's part of the problem. I think I get so nervous thinking about puking that I puke. This is why I wonder if it's psychological. When I feel like this I get shakey, nervous, and have hot flashes. Oh god what if it's some kind of repressed bulimia?? I don't like throwing up and I don't want to do it. I try everything NOT to throw up but it just happens.
Or maybe it's a reaction to the greasy food served at some of these places? The first time it ever happened was at Cheeburger cheeburger, and has usually happened at O'Charley's, Applebees, and other chain 'Americana' places. It really pisses me off because I only get to enjoy like, a really small portion of whatever I'm eating.
Reaction to MSG? Grease? Dairy?
So far it seems to happen at American chain restaurants, sans alcohol, regardless of type of food, mostly in the summer time.![]()
