A burger and fries at Five Guys had me up half the night on the toilet. It seems they don't clean their grill often enough and use bad oil for the fries. Everyone likes french fries but with all the oil and salt, I think they are one of the most unhealthy frequently eaten foods out there.
Note, I never feel bad after eating McDonalds.
Additionally, the absolutely IMMENSE portion of fries at Five Guys is really...over the top.
Few people have the willpower to refuse to polish-off the fries that they order, and the amount that they give you at Five Guys is ridiculously large.
Nobody should eat that many French fries at a sitting, but I am willing to wager that most of their customers do eat them all.
The last time it happened where I could trace the food source, it was a buttered everything bagel purchased from a newsstand on my way to work. I ended up with horrendous diarrhea. I was of course given my employer's blessing to leave early, but wasn't confident I could make the 1 hour mass transit commute home without soiling myself. I ended up crawling under my desk George Constanza style and spent the rest of the day there until I figured things had settled enough that I could get home.
Getting sick from eating bad or disagreeable foods is an unfortunate part of life.
What was the last thing you ate that made you feel not so well?
Last week I had a McDonald's double quarter pounder with cheese meal, with a 6 piece chicken nuggets. For days afterwards I had an upset stomach and the runs. I don't think it was food poisoning as I didn't feel nauseous or vomit, just that my body wasn't used to not eating there for a long time.
Yep, same here. Most any fatty, greasy junk food is the bottom of the barrel. Might as well dumpster dive and save money.

When it comes to actual food poising depending on the type I think it can take hours to days to show symptoms. So sometimes it isn't what you had for dinner last night its what you had for breakfast 2-3 days ago. But we (me too) tend to blame the last thing we ate.
Dickey's BBQ. My wife and I decided to try eating at one of these when out of town. While not truly debilitating ill from our experience, we both had uncomfortable stomach and intestinal "issues" for the next few days.
We've not been back since :-) Ironically, we drove by that restaurant (about 75 miles from our home) just yesterday, and as we always have since the "incident", we joked about going back in for another delicious meal of intestinal distress....lol.
Probably an isolated incident, but after an experience like that, you just lose your appetite for ever going there again. It's like the old saying, "First time shame on you, second time shame on me".
I am amazed that people don't puke over cold cuts. It is the most disgusting food the way people handle it. Cold cuts unless you slice them yourself goes through a machine that is not sanitized throughout the day and it goes through and cuts all types of meats and cheeses that could be laced with bacteria and germs. The only reason you don't get sick or die from it is the meats are full of preservatives that kill all types of bacteria good and bad.
The end result is a weakening of the immune system and likely the reason so many people take antibiotics for just simple cold and small infections.
We were on a trip to Boston. We walked over to the Bunker Hill area and stopped in some tavern nearby. I think it was supposed to be the oldest one in the area or something. I remember eating some sort of pretzel and something else. I also drank a cranberry cider (alcoholic). I don't know what it was, but I was up all night in the bathroom. Felt sorry for my spouse as the bathroom door opened directly next to the bed.
A year or so ago I had a chicken salad sub from Whole Foods and I swear it made me ill.
I remember after eating it feeling very full.... which OK...I just ate a big sub, so naturally I'm going to feel full.... fast forward three hours later and I still had this disgusting full feeling.... I started to feel not only full, but also nauseous.... I kept burping and I could taste the chicken salad. It was awful. . I kept burping and my stomach was making all these noises, as if it was moaning in pain. Ugh. Just thinking about it makes me squirm. Never again.
Needless to say, turned me off the Whole Foods chicken salad.
