Whenever a close friend eats chicken it cause her body to evacuate almost immediately.

I've heard of this with other things, but not chicken.

any ideas?
 
It makes my brother nauseous. Nobody in the family believes him and he'll eat turky, but he won't touch chicken or anything with chicken in it.
 
You mean whenever she eats chicken it makes her take a dump right afterwards?



Never heard of that with chicken.
 
Is it any and all type of chicken?

The reason I ask is that it could be something in the chicken, so if you're eating just a certain restaurants or brand/type of chicken then they might use some type of seasoning, maybe?
 
Yes, you can be allergic to chicken. Chicken gives me the worst gas in the world, otherwise I have no problems with it. Link
Although allergic reactions can occur to virtually any food, research studies on food allergy consistently report more problems with some foods than with others. Common symptoms associated with an allergic reaction to food include: chronic gastrointestinal disturbances; frequent infections, e.g. ear infections, bladder infections, bed-wetting; asthma, sinusitis; eczema, skin rash, acne, hives; bursitis, joint pain; fatigue, headache, migraine; hyperactivity, depression, insomnia.

Individuals who suspect food allergy to be an underlying factor in their health problems may want to avoid commonly allergenic foods. Chicken is one of the foods most commonly associated with allergic reactions. Other foods commonly associated with allergic reactions include: cow's milk, wheat, soy, shrimp, oranges, eggs, strawberries, tomato, spinach, peanuts, pork, corn and beef. These foods do not need to be eaten in their pure, isolated form in order to trigger an adverse reaction. For example, yogurt made from cow?s milk is also a common allergenic food, even though the cow?s milk has been processed and fermented in order to make the yogurt. Ice cream made from cow?s milk would be an equally good example.

It is theoretically possible to be allergic to the shots the chickens get (but the chicken itself may not be allergic to that person if he/she finds a chicken without shots).
 
well I've seen something similiar in somebody else that was close to me. anything bell peppers and the body just said "get out NOW!" However any other kind of pepper was fine...just bell peppers.

so I guess anything is possible.

It's good to know the chicken doesn't have anything to worry about. Thanks.

I think I'd just have to off myself right there if that were me.

"spidey, you're allergic to beef"
"thanks doc, can you hook a brother up with a cyanide pill?"
 
my ex was allergic to poultry. i can remember several visits to the emergency room when her throat closed up from unknowingly eating something that contained poultry (soups, etc..).

The question is, what is in chicken that is not found in a variety of other foods? She wouldn't be allergic to chicken, which is composed of many different things, but a specific thing found within chicken.
