Vegetarians/ Vegan meat poisining?

Question

I am a vegetarian myself and people always ask what will happen if you eat meat again? and I always tell them my body will have a bad reaction to the meat because im not use to it.

I had an experience once with stuffed mushrooms, i ate one and and got real sick after and had to throw it up. Later on I found out it had clams in it, which made me feel really bad not because I was sick but I ate meat on accident.

has anyone had an experience like mine?

Answer 1

Before I became vegan I had stopped eating beef for 3 years.  I was late to work and only had a buck so I decided to get a whopper.  I only had eaten half of it when I was in the bathroom violently ill.

Answer 2

No, I've (fortunately) not had that experience.

I do think that I would become ill. My body tends to react violently to foods that I've abstained from for long periods of time and then tried to eat again. For example - deep fried foods. I'm sick for DAYS if I eat the likes of that. It's pretty awful.

I know everyone is different, but veg*ns probably would get sick if they suddenly started eating meat again.

Answer 3

I was working on a box of cereal for a week.  It was before I realized how often they use animal products as fillers.

I ate the cereal every morning for a week before I realized it had milk in it.  For that week I suffered skin problems.  I am extremely allergic to milk.  I also don't appreciate having consumed blus either.

It taught me one important vegetarian lesson...Read the ingredients...not once, but twice.

On the meat poisoning thing:  I would throw up if I ate meat and it would be by accident.  I don't think you will ever run into me at McDonald's eating big bloody gobs of rotting flesh nestled between 2 stale buns!

Answer 4

that was probably a shelfish allergy

Answer 5

no, i am a vegetarian though, and I am positive that if I ate meat again I would get very sick. and I have only been one for like a month. Like i gave up all beverages except for water for Lent once, and then I drank soda again, and i got really sick, since I wasnt used to it. the same thing happens with meat.
