Holy Crap - That was AWFUL!!!

We decided to ride down to Barber Motorsports Museum in Leeds, AL this morning. It is just east of Birmingham. We headed east on 431, met up with the other couple we ride with at about 9:15 a.m., and off we went.  At aboput 10:30 everyone was wanting to eat, so we stopped at McDonalds in Gadsden, AL.  I ordered 2 eggs. I took the first bite, which had a funky taste and a very rubbery texture. I chewed the he!! out of that little dime-sized bite and swallowed. I immediately thought something felt strange, but the sensation went away after a few seconds. I waited a couple of minutes and took another dime-size bite, chewed like crazy, then swallowed. Same weird sensation - I knew something was wrong.  I stopped eating, sat there a minute, and my wife and the other couple asked what was wrong. They said I was as pale as  ghost. Then I felt like I had a brick lodged in my chest, then a severe burning sensation, and then this weird foamy junk was coming up in my mouth.  Holy Crap - I had to run to the men's room, barely making it in time to spew!  Then I felt somewhat better, but still not right. There was still a feeling that something was stuck in my throat-pouch area. I went back, sat down and felt miserable.  It got so bad that I went to the rear of the joint and had to lie down in a booth under an AC vent. I was one miserable son of a gun, I tell ya.  After about 10 minutes, back to the men's room, foamy crap spewing out like crazy, then it subsided again.  This went on for about 30 minutes or more, then I finally blew the remaining bite of eggs out. Ahhhhh - finally, relief from the misery.  Took about 15 minutes more to regain my strength and get over it enough to continue riding the motorcycle.   I don't know what the heck brought that on. First time I have had any problem like that, and hope like he!! it's the last!  I don't think those were real eggs, and believe they may have been cooked very early in the morning and re-heated when I ordered them. They were like silly putty instead of eggs. At any rate, it was definitely a horrible experience which I hope to never repeat. We continued on to the Motorsports Museum and enjoyed the heck out of it. It is an awsome display of motorcycles - from the late 1800's thru to the modern machines of today, street bikes, racing bikes, off road, as well as some sports cars and vintage cars - most in pristine condition.   After about 3 hours we headed back home.  Stopped at 4:00 and ate. I had about 2 oz. of sirloin steak and 2 oz. of grilled chicken. Didn't have any problem at all with that.  It must have been the silly putty eggs at Mickey D's that caused the problem.

Is that what's called dumping?

I don't really think it was dumping. I believe dumping is caused from ingesting too much sugar or fat, and is more like a blood-sugar episode. I believe dumping causes your heart to race, difficulty breathing, and other such symptoms.  Some of the old pros can probably tell us more about it. I'm not sure what that was that I experienced, but sure as heck don;t want to do it again!!

Well brother Bob I guess you got your CHERRY POPPED!!  Won't be asking me what the foamies are like any more.  I noticed other then the time I had the stricture rubbery consistency caused me to foam.  Went to a Japanese Steak House one night ordered sea scallops no problem even Wasbe, but the next day I warmed up my scallops noticed they were a little rubbery two bites later foam.  Pretty much like you describe sprew once feel weak lay down 10 min. sprew again 10 min later OK but weak.  Hope its your first and last.  I take my hat off to you I haven't had the nerve to try steak.  C'ya Bob

Man the same **** happened to me with a buffalo meat patty. No fun. Another time was with a pot roast. This happened in the 1st month after. So far no more foam ****

"Mickey D's that caused the problem?" - Yes-sir-e Bob!!  Chant this one for me, Bama.......ALL FAST FOOD IS EVIL.....ALL FAST FOOD IS EVIL.....ALL FAST FOOD IS EVIL..... Welcome to the world of WLS. Bye, Boner

A piece of breakfast sausage got me!  At about 2-3 months out I had my first and so far only foaming experience.  Scary as hell and I am so lucky I haven't had another.  Glad u survived and were able to continue on with the fun. JIm D

Bama, Glad that the experience did not ruin the day. I have not had the foamies, but it sounds like a drag. I recently received a free coupon for McD's new breakfast chicken biscuit and tried it last week. I ate almost half of it and tossed the rest. It was greasy (what a surprise). But, like you, I picked a dangerous time to experiment - I had just started a 10 drive to South Carolina. Fortunately I didn't suffer any bad effects. Joe

Hey Bob, I had this happen once with an innocent looking slice of lean corn beef deli.  I had to lay in bed with a bucket while the spit kept coming up.  Took about a 1/2 hour to subside. Lesson learned. Guy

That's not "dumping" brother, that's instant food poisoning    Them eggs must  have been fertilzed... did you taste any feathers?
