Ugh! Saturday was my hubby's grandad's funeral...I spent the whole day watching everyone's faces for any sign of wooziness because sometimes people get so upset at funerals that they pass out and/or vomit, which kept my stomache in knots the whole time...
*WARNING: Descriptive graphic material ahead...*
Anyways, after the funeral there was a small lunch reception. All the food was spicy mexican dishes--mole, chile verde(but it was spicy usually it's not spicy) and another dish that looked spicy as well, but I didn't know what it was. I normally don't touch anything spicy at all, I just don't like it #1 and #2 spicy almost always leads to an upset stomache from what I have known. My only other option was salad, beans and rice. I ate small portions of those, but was still hungry and wanted some kind of meat. My husband told me that one of the meat dishes that he ate wasn't spicy, so I went to get some and by the time I got there it was gone! Damn! I was hungry still humm. I look at the mole and get a small portion of it...it was slightly spicy, but bareable. I ate it. We went home not soon after that and I turned in at about 10 pm. I woke up at 2 am with my stomache cramping so bad I curled up in a ball moaning in pain. I got up and ventured to the bathroom. Was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea on top of the cramps. I grabbed 2 peptos and ate them fastand started to pray for the nausea to go away please...I sat on the toliet holding my stomache trying to figure out what I would have to do if I suddenly was going to vomit. I looked at my bathroom trashcan it was full with trash, looked to my right and there was the tub and I thought okay that would be my only option if I had to vomit and diarreah was happeing at the same time. I sat there and my mouth started to water in that oh so familiar way and I closed my eyes and said please god no, please. Then the diarreah came and I tried to fight the nausea as my stomache cramped worse. Once the diarreah passed the nausea started to lessen...WHEW! My stomache still was cramping something horrible though. I was able to stumble back to bed and sleep for a couple more hours before having to get up 2 more times during the night with diarreah. The next morning my stomache was still "off", but at least the nausea was gone...My hubby tells me that didn't you know mole is a mixture of chocolate(a natural laxative) and chile? I responded no, but if I would have known, I wouldn't have eaten it! I had had mole before and that had never happened to me before, so it must have been the way it was made something was different that made my react to it like that...
