Does Too Much Ginger Make You Sick?

I'm sitting here in my office trying to distract myself from the nausea. I had lunch about 2 hours ago and made the mistake of eating a chunk of ginger root that was in the meal. I can add some grated ginger to season a meal, but something like a chunk (1/2" square by 1/8" thick) in a sitting makes me sick.

I found out I had a problem with ginger years ago drinking ginger honey tea. I got terrible indigestion. So I know better. I don't know what I was thinking when I ate it...I'll attriubute to my fatigue and fog brain :(

I can't have ANY amount of ginger. It makes me incredibly nauseous. I can't stop throwing up, shaking, sweating and I get extremely dizzy. There have been times where I almost passed out. I discovered I couldn't have ginger about 8 years ago when I was on the way to the airport to fly back home. I couldn't stop vomiting in the airport and plane. Oh it was horrible.

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well. :( I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks CC :)

I was fine a couple hours or so later. Boy, I won't do that for a while again. Well, hopefully never again!

Gosh, you really have a terrible reaction to it. It's one thing to be home and sick, but to feel that way when you're traveling!! How terrible!!

If I have ginger cookies I get a ginger tongue. It feels like I've hot drink...scalded tongue. Ginger ale I seem to be okay...maybe it's diluted enough but in food...no way.

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.

      makes sense. sometimes you learn one path and never question it until you see someone take a different path

      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth

      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.

      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.
