Sick?

Feb 17, 2009 14:01

I threw up this morning. Thankfully, I had not had anything to eat for over 8 hours. When it happened it was all liquid (pink, actually, because I took some pepto) EXCEPT for a small piece of mushroom. It was totally undigested, it looked exactly the same as it did going in. Last time I had mushrooms was FOUR DAYS ago. I am amazed how well it ( Read more... )

Bizarre. I poked around on the web and from what I can tell, mushrooms can be problematic based on individual idiosyncrasies. Though with mushrooms, it should make you sick pretty quickly. But they definitely don't always digest...at all. I found a radiograph on the web of an undigested mushroom that made its way all the way to the colon.

To see for yourself:
Mushroom idiosyncrasies
and
Mushroom "polyp"

Hope you feel better and that all is going well out there!

Well, it was mushroom soup. So, there were many other mushrooms that passed just fine ^.^.

Interesting research. I was just amused it stayed in my stomach completely intact for four whole days XD

By 4pm today I was all better though.

Thanks for your support~
