Has an oyster made me ill

Yws I've been very ill after eating oysters many times

Many times?? You mean you come back for more ?? 🤣🤮

I am violently allergic to oysters. I had a ‘bad’ one years ago. Tried one again, it was cooked not raw, but same reaction. It is not a pleasant experience so now I avoid like the plague and always ask the restaurant to keep my food away from any oyster which might be lurking in the kitchen! A Dr friend reckoned that after 7 years you grow out of the allergy. I’m not going to chance it 🤢

I don't trust oysters so never eat them. Am I missing a treat?

No, not in my opinion. It's like eating slimy, salty snotters!

I just love them but after last time, about 3 years ago, I decided it was time to admit defeat lol

Still look admiringly when I see other people ordering them with a creamy pint of Guinness 😋

Why would you keep on eating them then?

can't

I can's imagine why people risk eating them - they just taste of salt anyway.

If this isn’t too much information at breakfast time, my vomit was liquid, not lumpy, and a really bright yellow. Clearly bile.
It rather disturbed me.
Still not 100% we’ll but keeping food down which is a start,
I don’t know if it was the oyster, which tasted disgusting by the way, but have no other explanation.

I never ever eat shellfish. My doctor OH used to call them sewage filters!

My bout of food poisoning was caused by mushroom soup, eaten at a motorway service station café.

I eat a lot of seafood including oysters, prawns, calamari and mussels. So far no problems though I got sick eating contaminated spinach bought, supposedly triple washed, from the supermarket. They issued a recall on it about a week after they had sold it - bit late for most of us. I also love sushi and sashimi but my theory is they are very, very careful with that because they have a reputation to uphold.

I have been ill for the past few weeks with post infection IBS, all because I ate a green salad from a very famous/posh grocery store.

I have a friend who has been sick twice after eating oysters, once tinned (smoked) and once in a Chinese restaurant sauce some years ago, but has never had trouble with other shellfish, so I would think it is possible, silverlining48.

I had food poisoning after eating mussels, I was so ill that OH called the doctor and he said that I needed to go to hospital as I was very dehydrated. So yes, I'm sure oysters can have the same effect. I do eat mussels but tbh I prefer to cook my own so I know the prep has been done correctly. I hope you feel better soon but try to make sure you stay hydrated which can be difficult!

If you have been sick that should be the end of it for you. Any shellfish can be doubtful so I never eat them.Drink plenty of water.
