Chili's Restaurant is NOT Primal, Part 2

Last night i went to work still feeling like I need to puke more than anything else in the world, and of course, attempting to do just that did absolutely nothing. Stomach bloating, intense cramps, headache... and worst of all i started to get a sore throat. Now, whenever I get a sore throat 99% of the time it is strep. This means that the moment I start to feel twinge of soreness in my throat, I start to worry and freak even though I knew, mentally, that this soreness was due to the hazardous waste that I ate at Chili's. 

When I got home from work, I fried up some ham and eggs in coconut oil, hoping the healthy food would help to alleviate my problems. No such luck. So, with my throat in pain and me feeling like I needed to puke every time I stood up, I had to miss my father-in-law's birthday party.

Needless to say, I am done with eating out. The convenience just isn't worth it.

Sensitivity to Non-Paleo Foods

Last weekend was Easter and we went to my parent's home for egg hunting, Easter dinner, and just general visiting. Dinner was grilled hot dogs for the kids and grilled pork tenderloins, raw veggies (carrots, broccoli, cauliflower), and a coleslaw made with bacon, red wine vinegar, and some mayo (store brand). Though the mayo in the coleslaw was not what I would have preferred, having been only eating home-made Paleo-friendly mayo for the past 3 months, I figured that I could cheat on the store-brand mayo since I was not partaking in any of the various forms of candy throughout the house.

I was wrong, and so was my wife (who is 80% Primal and eats small amounts of grains occasionally).

We were both sick after eating to the point that we left much earlier than we would have normally. I got a raging headache, my stomach felt bloated and extended, and I worried about bathroom issues. My wife felt overly full and just generally crappy.

It just goes to show how the so-called "regular" foods interact with the body and how most people discount what they are feeling or blame it on something else, like stress.
