Toxic girl

[j4]

Health food is bad for you. All I've had today is a mug of sage tea (caffeine-free drink) and a load of pumpkin seeds (supposedly healthy snack), but something has managed to make me violently ill. I suspect the pumpkin seeds, because I felt okay (well, tired, but that's normal) until I'd had a few handfuls of them... after which I felt drowsy, headachey, and extremely nauseous, until actually being sick.

Is it possible for things to make you sick that quickly? If not then it must have been the steak at the Mill last night.

I am now at home, where I can lie down & feel grotty in peace. This does however have the welcome side-effect that I can listen to acronym on CUR1350 - hence the nicely appropriate subject line, because he's just dedicated the track of that name to me.

Right. My Crool Nurse professional opinion and my Wot I Do opinion may vary here...

If I were in your shoes and were keeping down water without throwing up, or keeping down flat coke, I'd try something fairly easy to digest but something that I fancied. Rice is easily digestible but would you want to? No. Nor me. A plain biscuit, say a digestive, or a piece of toast. If that doesn't come back I'd assume that my system had chucked up everything that insulted it and go back to eating normally. Normally, that is, but a) light and b) careful. Don't have a slice of toast and then a curry, for instance!

Thank you for the advice!
I had a piece of toast and so far (fingers crossed) am okay. Might make myself some pasta, plain pasta is usually a good bet when I'm feeling grotty.

I wonder if it would be silly to have the salad I made myself for lunch. (It has onions and olives and avocado in it.)

Okay, this is probably a bit late, but half of me says "if you fancy it, eat it" and the other half of me says "onions might be a bit much".

Me, I'd eat it.
