I ate too much fats at one sitting--now I feel sick to my stomach. I tried ginger ...any other suggestions? Would digestive enzymes help?

What do you consider "too much"? – RG73 Mar 24 2011 at 16:03

I drank an entire quart of raw cream one night, after eating three full meals that day. We needed to get it used up, and I didn't have time to make butter, and it tasted great, so I didn't stop to think about how many calories I was slamming down. I woke up that night with some fierce acid reflux (which I normally never get without eating refined carbs) and feeling vaguely wired and unable to relax. I guess 3500 calories on top of a full stomach isn't a smart bedtime snack!

I drank some water, but mostly I felt like I'd better not try to get anything else down. I just sat up (to help the reflux) and waited it out a few hours until my body seemed to catch up to it.

Calorically - and with the water, I'd guess its similar to attempting to drink a gallon of milk all at once. Yikes! – Oranges13 Mar 24 2011 at 20:40
I can only buy heavy cream in quarts as well, but can only drink about half of it before it starts to go off. I freeze what's left in smaller containers and thaw them out for cream based soups and sauces (too chunky to drink after freezing). I can only handle about half a cup at a time, so reflux or not, I'm rather impressed by your cream drinking abilities! – WordVixen Mar 24 2011 at 22:12

I think they're more effective at the beginning of the meal, but I doubt it will hurt to try! Hope ya feel better.

Apple cider vinegar helps me.

I have also done this - it feels terrible.

I drank a lot of water with lemon to flush out the system a little.

I think you just have to wait it out - but at least you know now for next time what too much in one sitting is.

What happened to it making you super-hyper? :) http://paleohacks.com/questions/24666/wired-on-coconut-oil#axzz1HWSrwV85

My stomach aches when I eat straight-up coconut oil, too. Do you feel like moving around? Perhaps if you take a walk, it'll help you digest it? Maybe use some of that lump of energy that's sitting like a rock in your tum right now?

I'm sipping some peppermint tea right now due to tummy upset, actually. It's my go-to for tummy aches. It's also super delicious, which doesn't hurt. :)

I have taken 6 tablespoons in one sitting with no problems. When I try to do that with butter though, it's a whole different story.

Wait it out. A couple of big tablespoons of the stuff does it to me. I'd say it takes less than 12 hours, but your body will "handle" it accordingly.

NZ kiwi fruit (aka Chinese Gooseberries) are acidic and if you eat a few they clean out your plumbing pronto. Young fresh ginger sliced thin on your tongue can help your taste buds feel cleansed. Drink water and herbal tea.
