Feeling dumb...bad food reaction

Hi all. Sorry it's been a while since I posted. I hit a plateau at 3 weeks and my mood was terrible so I stayed away. (hormone, not plateau caused) This estrogen stuff is driving me ! I had a hysterectomy a year ago and I am just not used to the emotional stuff anymore! Anyway, things are going well, my mood is better, the plateau has passed and I am down 41 pounds as of today (5 weeks out next Tuesday). I am eating solid foods again (it's sooo good to chew!) and experimenting with new stuff. I feel really dumb though because I had my first bad reaction to a food and it took me THREE meals to figure it out. I have been eating taco meat (with 2% cheese and sour cream) since about 2 weeks out with no problem. Well, my significant other made tacos again last Wednesday and I enjoyed them again....until I started . I had returned to work on Monday and there is a bug going around the office so I thought "great! I caught the stomach bug!". I got up and went to work onThursday and felt, not great, but ok. I sat down and ate my taco meat for lunch....and got pretty quick. I went home sick, still thinking I had caught the bug. I called in to work Friday, even though I was feeling a bit better in the morning. For lunch at home I had...guess what....TACO MEAT! When I started again, it finally hit me. What had happened was Kim had made the tacos with a different brand of taco seasoning. Evidently, my pouch doesnt like Old El Paso! GAH! I cant believe I ate the stuff THREE TIMES before I figured it out! Lisa L. 380/339/170

Maybe the El Paso has more sugar in it than whatever you were using before? Sorry you got sick I've been making my taco meat with cumin, tomato paste, salt and pepper to avoid sugar. It's not exactly the same but it's pretty good. Lizzie

Lisa Sorry to hear about the dumping it sucks but at least you finally found out what it was. Guess we are going to find those things Like for me I made some tuna like 3 weeks out made it with miracle whip light well I ate it once it was ok thought maybe the egg that was in it didnt settle cause I was not tolerating eggs at the time so I tried it again without egg no such luck then I bought Hellmans light mayo and what do you know I did just fine with that come to find out I found that miracle whip has sugar even the light so you are not alone we are all going to still find things that we just cant tolerate.....congrats on your weight loss keep up the great work. hugs and love lisa

Hi Lisa! It's good to see you back. Congratulations on the 41 pounds. That's great! Sorry about all the ing. I've not yet encountered dumping yet. And I'd be happy as pooo if I NEVER do. It's weird though that different brands of something will cause you to and another won't. When I'm able to have beef, I think I'll skip the Old El Paso, just to be on the safe side .
