Ate Asparagus and now in pain
Last night for dinner, the only food I ate that I hadn't yet had since surgery 10/2008 was steamed asparagus. I made it soft and chewed it, I thought, thoroughly. I had 4 spears. But then after dinner I felt painfully full, so I threw up. No asparagus came up though.
I felt pain free after tha****ched the academy awards, but felt bloated with gas. I woke this morning with abdominal pain, and I still have it.
I'm hoping this is just that the asparagus is slow getting through my system, but I am also worried and may go to the ER if it gets worse. Pain scares me. I think I will drink more than the usual amoun****er to try and flu**** out.
Any thoughts?

For me aspargus is akin to some evil little critter digging holes in my gut tormenting me trying to get out...I thought oh it will be good...ate a couple spears cooked in butter and bout 10 min. later I was laying in bed with gut wrenching cramp type pains, wishing I could throw up...it lasted a long time....then it started getting worse..I was bloated and felt like I was 6 months pregnant and had eaten a huge Thanksgiving dinner....
Stupid me wasn't convinced it was the asparagus so I tried it again about 2 weeks later...same results....I won't be putting another piece of asparagus anywhere near my mouth for a very very long time...
I hope you start feeling better soon....unfortunately green beans and brussel sprouts do the same thing to me....

But just in case, I am living a life without asparagus from now on.
