Stomach cramps whenever I eat fatty or spicy food?
Hi, I know some you might say this is obvious but I am genuinely interested. I don't eat junk food often - maybe a bag of crisps a week and the occasional take-away. This used to be fine but now whenever I eat anything remotely 'junky' I wake up feeling really sick - I went out a couple of weeks ago to an expensive italian restaurant for a friend's birthday (so it wasn't greasy and gross) and felt so bloated and sick for the rest of the night I could barely drink. I can't even enjoy a chinese or a bag of Doritos anymore because it gives me stomach cramps for days! Why can my body suddenly no longer handle anything processed or fatty? Like I said, I don't really bother with these things often (especially as a student, I can't really afford it) but I'm a bit sad if I can no longer divulge in an occasional treat! Any suggestions?

Chances are you'd be able to digest it better by increasing your fibre intake, make sure for the rest of your diet you're getting plenty of fruits/vegetables/wholegrain carbs and nuts are great for fibre too. It should help. I'm the same though, it seems the less often I have processed food the less tolerance my stomach has for it, even when on a high-fibre diet, but I know from experience that increasing your fibre intake definitely helps stomach cramps.

South Asians love spicy food, we gorge on our kebabs and tandoori chicken...... but if u r a Westerner, a lot of spicy food may hurt your stomach
