Why do I feel nauseated after eating sushi sometimes? Seems to happen more when I eat more sashimi. Is there something about raw fish that bothers the gut?

Are you using a Groupon at the sushi bar? It's worth paying full price for sushi. – Ralph Furley Mar 23 2012 at 0:40

I had a sushi 'cheat' a couple of months ago and I remember I felt awful after. I'm not sure what it was, maybe the soy sauce? My guess is it was either bad fish or something else you're eating at the same time. – Amanda Mar 23 2012 at 1:26

If you use their soy sauce, likely it was made with wheat. Most soybsauce is not only made from soy- I would bring your own tamari, if you eat soy, or coconut aminos. – Jen Mar 23 2012 at 2:18
How quickly do you get sick? – Satchmo Mar 23 2012 at 3:00

Are you having JUST the fish, or are you also having wasabi/soy/other sauce? Is it only with certain kinds or is it random? Need more info!

Or you could just have a food intolerance. I can't eat avacado, often found in rolls

Sashimi makes my gut very happy. Maybe you have a reaction to the soy sauce? Or wasabi? Do you eat the pickled ginger? It is good for your digestion.

-Sushi Grade Fish is a must -Do you always go to the same place? I have noticed that some of the cheaper places, like all you can eat or stripmall joints, use non-sushi grade fish, which is probably farm fed (full of nastiness and lack of selenium). Sushi is expensive for a reason (because sushi grade fish is expensive), maybe try frequenting a high class joint or checking with a chef you like.

-Also they may be using a contaminated cutting board (that has wheat bits from the tempura, or other bits of gross.

-Bring your own "soy" sauce. I bring in my own bottle of coconut secret -aminos and hand it over to the chef to cook with.

Could it be the nori? I can't stomach that stuff AT ALL. It's seriously bad business for me, up there with wheat, raw onions and agave, which are the worst.
