Allergic reaction?

So I made some enchiladas without any hot stuff. About an hour or so after I ate I got so sick. Stomach cramping, nausea, and the palms of my hands itched so bad! Then came the diarrhea and I couldn’t breathe. This went on for hours thought I would throw up but only heaved. What an exhausting night. I’m assuming it’s an allergic reaction to something I ate. Needless to say I threw the leftovers away. It’s bad enough to have Copd. My expiration date was 2014 (5 yrs) Smoked 50 years and have had copd for 13 years. What a price to pay!


  1. Hi Minijudy, and thanks for sharing this 'enchilada' story with the community. As you said, it sounds like either an allergic reaction or possibly food poisoning of some kind. How are you feeling today?
