Why does Burger King and KFC hurt my stomach?

Question

For some reason, whenever i eat from those two restaurants I get a really bad stomach ache, but from other fast food like wendys, taco bell, and other chains, i completely fine. what do think is causing this?

Answer 1

yeah it must be way too greasy.

i would just stop eating there for a while

Answer 2

I have to agree - it probably has something to do with the BRAND of grease/fat used to cook the food in .

STOP eating there!  (It's not good for you anyways.)

Answer 3

Because it's way too greasy.

Answer 4

bad food

Answer 5

Your body is trying to tell you something.  Listen to it and stop eating that garbage!

Answer 6

could be IBS

Answer 7

It has to do with the grease and the additives used in the food cooking process.Places use different grease, different additives.  I have the same issue with Burger King, I get stomach pains and also must visit rest room very quickly. Therefore I no longer eat at Burger King unless I have no other option.  Then I limit what I eat.  I have also found that taking over the counter digestive productys such as Prilosec helps somewhat, or keep handy Pepto-Bismol tablets and take as soon as I finish eating.  This is similar to irritable bowel syndrome which your doctor can prescribe medication and also instruct you on what to specifically avoid.

Answer 8

Its probably something about the grease that they use your body doesnt like.

Answer 9

I also had that issue. Did you happen to have root beer with your meals?  Both restaurants mentioned serve root beer that contains "quillaia", which is soapbark, a stomach and bowel irritant. Quillaia is banned in Europe as a food additive.

PS: Barq's is the only one I have found that doesn't contain it.
