Just thought I'd update:
Spoke to my LLMD today and at first she said that this didn't sound like a typical reaction, or if it was it was extremely strong and unusual. She thought it sounded like food poisoning. I'll admit I also wondered that, but the meal I ate the night before at a restaurant my two friends had also and were fine, and the only food I had that day was salad greens from my garden that I haven't had an issue with before, but you never know.
Anyway, later in the conversation on a different topic, it came up that I often smell sulphur (like asparagus) when I urinate after I've had a herx. It seemed like a lightbulb moment for her and she said if you have a sulphur overload (from sulphur producing methanogens) in the GI tract, it's possible that the sulphur from the supplement (which is quite high from the concentrated sulphuropahane) could have caused intense stomach upset for me, especially since I didn't really have a very big meal with it as recommended.
I don't think I'll ever know for sure unless I recreate those conditions, which I will never do again. But it's possible I will try the supplement with more food, maybe breaking it open and taking half. If I get any sort of upset even if it's less, I think I'd have my answer. I'll report back if I do.
