Prawns were a big mistake !

We all enjoyed our lunch …but, I have to say….the prawns were a big mistake for me. My tummy has been all over the place since lunch, and , I have spent a fair bit of time in the bathroom….. So, for me, I won’t be having any more prawns in the future …..it’s just not worth it. There are so many other things that I can have instead …..

I'm sorry that happened! I hope your hubby and Mom didn't have problems, too! You'll just have to make it for them and make something else for yourself.

@Traceyjayne Prawns would put me in the hospital... I'm glad you didn't have that much of a problem with them.

Oh, know! I’m sorry to hear that. You must be allergic. Look at the bright side - at least your face didn’t blow up or develop a horrible rash like my friend.

@traceyjayne Now this is why I never eat shellfish. I don’t like spending an inordinate amount of time in the bathroom tending to intestinal distress. Hope you’re feeling more settled now.

Oh, that's a shame but obviously it's not worth the risk and it's only likely to get worse from what I've read.

@Rimps85. Yes, quite out of the blue a few years ago ….scampi, salmon and prawns ……I am slowly reintroducing them into my diet , but I won’t bother with prawns again, clearly I can’t eat them now without being sick.

I am so sorry, if you were the only one to have problems, may be you are intolerant to seafood.

Oh no! I'm so sorry about the prawns. I don't care for shrimp or prawns. I don't like the texture.
