Somehow it seems that my stomach is sensitive to hygienic food. I eat all sorts of crap (including food from roadside stalls and from my office cafeteria). Sometimes when I travel, I have to eat food whose name I cannot even pronounce, yet I rarely get stomach upset. However, everytime within 24 hours of my visiting my parents house, I get a stomach upset. Usually its loose motions, but recently its also accompanied by food poisoning.
The strangest thing is that the same food is eaten regularly the rest of the members of the family (that also includes my grand parents who are in their late 80s) and they never get ill. My mother cooks real hygienic food and also does not deep fry or add too much of ghee in my meals. I used to enjoy it during my childhood, but now it seems like my stomach cannot tolerate it any more.
My mother has a conspiracy theory that I am allergic to Hygienic environment. What do you think it is?

maybe it is because of lack of habit or maybe ur system is messed up so that it stopped tolerating home cooked food or maybe it is just the weather
everyone seems to be sick
well whatever may be the reason, but for the past 1 week i have to confine myself to salads and hotel cooked food 🙁 all this in spite of the fact that my mom is a great cook
ur body might have got used to the junk that its rejecting the good food. !
anyways touch wood when u say this.
@xylene…
do u think i am some sort of a garbage disposal that processing junk is a good virtue? 🙁
This is a cool theory (Ankur’s new law – like darwin’s law or something!).
*I am allergic to Hygienic environment*
i know, i know its your mother’s theory, but mothers are rarely wrong! so face the fact, u are allergic to hygeinic enviornment!
last kab nahaaye the? (hygeine!) 😛 😀
that was not even an hour ago … anyways in another 3 days i would be subjected to unhygienic mess food… so i guess i would soon recover
how much fried food have u been eating?
Or maybe the food at home requires a particular resistance which dies out if not exposed for some time.
Maybe some spices or a combination which causes it.
no matter how much i eat, it will still be less than what you and I had last month…. plus remember my home is strictly veg and nothing is deep fried anymore…
but i guess its the combination of various factors….
i would discount weather because as u would know that in the past 7 years there have been atleast 7 different states where my parents have moved
*i am some sort of a garbage disposal*
Hey, Bisleri bottle finally u accepted the truth.
hmm
why not introduce home cooked food in small doses , so that ur system adjusts?
//garbage disposal // ha NO.
I agree with what prax has to say… that might get ur body adjusted.
:)) next time i will definitely try that and update you with the test results.

When I eat home made food, my stomach is not able to adjust for a few days as it is so used to eat all the crap. Its very weird, but true. 🙂
Mmm that’s strange..
btw, I have this problem with every food I eat, for last two weeks 🙁
