I slept through the night with no issue, but when... See More I woke up this morning I experienced nausea after taking my medication and supplements. There is a chance it could've been the zinc I took, but I haven't had this happen before when I had taken my zinc on an empty stomach. I was experiencing gas pains as well. After drinking some milk in hopes to calm my stomach (not my brightest idea), I immediately went to the bathroom and threw up the entire contents of my stomach. The food from last night wasn't visible, but I felt a bit better. Then, I drank water and ate some apple sauce and toast which are usually pretty safe foods when my stomach is upset. Immediately felt like I had to poop and throw up, and ran to the bathroom again. Throw up until I dry heaving and almost sh*t myself (pardon the French). In addition, after the second time I got weird sharp tingles all over my body like I needed to itch everywhere. Not sure if that was related but it was pretty alarming so I thought I would include it. I drank some water right after and couldn't even keep that down. Now I'm not feeling as nauseous since I haven't eating or drank anything after that last time, but I'm having diarrhea. I love them but I'm not sure I'll eat there again. :(
