Wanted to know...

Sounds like it could be a touch of food poisoning but it should pass once you've got it out of your system. If symptoms persist however, I would suggest checking it out. Sometimes anxiety will just make symptoms of anything worse (I'm the perfect example of that) but it's always better to be safe than sorry. I am currently going through terrible changes in stomach/bowel habits but doc thinks they're all the result of significant stresses I'm under right now. And if you have health anxiety like I do, we're our own worst enemy and seem to make everything worse than it would if we didn't have that affliction too! Don't know if this is your situation, but it's "food" for thought. Good luck!

I'd like to ^^echo^^ the emphasis on "greasy food" because the food doesn't have to be slipping off your fork or out of your fingers to, technically, be considered "greasy."

I found this out, and continue to find it out, often the hard way.

Often times it isn't the total fat content consumed within the day, it's the amount consumed, and what type in a short period of time. Fats are used to create a feeling of being satiated, to carry flavour, and also to disguise. Not all fats are created equal.

If you enjoy foods that you know have a higher-than-healthy fat content, and you really do want to eat them, the only way I'm familiar with of doing so is to divide the high-fat foods up into small portions and eat those smaller bits 3 hours apart, and not together. It does no good,--not even a bit,--to skip all your meals so you can eat a high-fat meal at night. Our bodies don't work that way.

Fat is notorious for exacerbating conditions such as GERD, among other things. And of course, high-fat foods eating at night, and especially just before bed,....big trigger!

Hope this helps, even a little.
