Okay so yesterday evening I ate some east coast oysters and chicken liver with the intent on eating a full pound of beef in about 1/2 an hour. So I ate the oysters and the juice they came in and started eating the chicken livers, but after the first couple swallows I had a HUGE gag reflex. I nearly ralphed all over the floor right there except for I have an amazingly strong stomach. So I quit eating at that point and went to Whole Foods to get my beef, thinking it was just the taste of the liver that caused it.
So after like 1 hour, I can still feel the taste of liver, oysters, and acid sitting just below my throat, and feel pressure there, almost as if it hadn't even made it to my stomach. No nausea, no real pain, just a gross feeling from above my stomach to right at my throat. So I finally get tired of this and decide to puke it up (finger in back of throat). Mostly got rid of the taste and symptoms, and so 30 mins later I ate some bland fruit salad with a honey/apple cider vinegar dressing to help clear the digestive tract. Then about 1 hour later, 1/2 lb of beef. But all the time my body is feeling worse, and then I come down with a fever (nothing major) and my body started feeling sore. I went like that for the rest of the night, feeling better in the morning but not fully well.
No fever today, or nausea, just some diahrrea and body pains. I ate some eggs, honey, berries, and plent of coconut water in the morning, and some beef throughout the day. Its now almost bed time and I can feel that I'm coming down with a fever again. I realize this is somewhat of a good thing as my body will soon go in to accelerated healing from whatever the hell happened.
And that's why I'm posting. Does anyone have any experience, even theories? In the last year of raw paleo, I would say I have never gotten sick from something I ate, but today I'm fairly certain that either the oysters or the liver caused this. I lean towards the liver as it is what caused the gag reflex, and though all natural (free of antibiotics and horomones) was not organic. I know they feed, chickens lots of cooked soy, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was the liver. Also, I ate some the night before last right after a good solid work out with no real problems (though still some very minor problems w/ gag reflex). I wouldn't be surprised if my body delayed the detox of whatever may have been in the liver, b/c of need to recover from the gym that night.
Anyways, I'd like to hear your guys thoughts and experience.
