What Made Me Nauseous At Dinner?

[sandsurfgirl]

I ate from the gluten free menu at Buca di Beppo. After dinner I started feeling quite nauseous and I still feel that way plus I'm very bloated. I have no other symptoms so I don't think I'm glutened. When I get glutened I get neuro issues first- panic, shortness of breath, dizzy spells and then the tummy stuff later.

Can garlic make you nauseous or can you be intolerant of it? The garlic mashed were extra garlicky tonight and then we ordered the broccoli which is also covered in garlic. I also thought it could be all the butter and dairy in the mashed.

I've eaten everything we ordered there before without nausea except the garlic broccoli.

I hate the extra food intolerances. They make things so much worse. Mine are soy and dairy, but usually I can tolerate small amounts of dairy. Maybe tonight just wasn't the night for it.

I suppose it could just be food poisoning, too - random bacteria can happen to anyone, anywhere. Hope you feel better soon, anyway!

I'll bet it was a combination of the butter, all that garlic, and the general richness of the meal. Are you feeling better?

Maybe to rich of food along with the dairy that you are allergic too. My son has dairy allergy and can't have any butter even a little.

Hope you feel better soon.

Some people are sensitive to garlic and onion. Sometimes they can tolerate it cooked, but not raw. Do you have trouble with raw onion at all?

Or it could have been bacteria or just too rich a meal

Hope you're feeling better!

I realize this is an older thread, but I'm a newer member and didn't see anyone mention the broccoli. It may have been the broccoli. I'm intolerant of broccoli and get bloating and queasy tummy symptoms from it. It could be the combo of broccoli/too much garlic/butter. Really the only way to tell if it's one of them would be to challenge them separately---then you'll know what your own body is reacting to. Of course, if you don't react to any of them separately at home, it's possible that there might have been some flour added to the sauce on the broccoli?

Figuring all this stuff out we pretty much need to be detectives. Where's Veronica Mars when we need her?!?!?!

I get the anxiety stuff from a glutening too, but it usually comes the next day.

I hope you figured out what it was.
