Over the past 2+ years, I have had about a dozen bouts with food
poisoning - i.e., in retrospect, I could identify a very likely
suspect item I ate (usually a protein) that was probably slightly too
old or mishandled at a restaurant, not enough to truly taste "off",
and like clockwork in 2.5 hours I start feeling queasy, then at 3.5
hours, I would vomit 2 or 3 times over the next hour, then be OK but
for a few hours of stomach muscle soreness from the spasms of
regurgitation.
I was diagnosed with celiac in 2001, and since then have had a couple
of known (in retrospect) exposures to gluten without noticeable
reaction, so I conclude I am not exquisitely sensitive. This,
combined with the specificity and consistency of the food poisoning
symptoms, particularly in cases where there was NO risk of even minor
cross contamination, is what makes me certain these were food
poisoning incidents.
What I wonder, is if I might just be hypersensitive to the toxins in
too-old food? Any others with this unsettling experience?
