What did you eat?


Sat, December 28, 2019 10:49 AM

Does this happen to anyone?  Every time I feel sick, the first thing people say is "What did you eat?".  It seems they are implying that I purposely ate something that I knew would make me sick and therefore I deserve the punishment.  On Christmas I had a large meal.  That night I was curled in a ball crying with pain and bloody diarreah.  I called the doctor's office the next morning and the first thing the nurse said to me was "Did you eat something you shouldn't have?"  Why do i get blame instead of sympathy?

Well, look what happened at Christmas.  looks like you need to adjust your diet and maybe your attitude. I had a lifelong friend unfriend me on Facebook because I wouldn’t adopt a vegan diet.
