How comes every single time I have five guys I get a stomach upset ?

I’ve obviously decided I can’t eat it anymore as this happens everytime
I’ll have to stick to Nando’s when our shopping etc
But it’s so odd as no where else upset my stomach like this
Just makes me wonder why is it ?
Other fast food doesn't have this effect on me

Maybe if you tried not swallowing?

Because it's really greasy!

More than likely a particular ingredient/spice they use. Not really helpful but I can't eat Walkers cheese and onion crisps. I can eat any other Walkers flavour and any other brand of c & o.

I’m really amusing and rename it to ‘Five Hot Young Men’.

I really thought this was either a troll or a typo! (I looked anywayBlush) So Five Guys is a burger chain?

oakleaffy · 16/09/2020 16:11

Never heard of 5 guys, hope condims we’re used- chitterlings?

ginnybag · 16/09/2020 16:11

They cook in peanut oil, so it might be that?

MedicalMystery1 · 16/09/2020 16:21

Hahahahaha I loveeee the replies to this thread 😂😂 made an upset girl very happy 😂😂😂

On the actual subject of thread... I can’t eat fast foods like five guys, McDonald’s etc. I guess it’s because Nando’s is ‘proper’ cooked food for want of a better word.

Spit don’t swallow

Would it be giving my age away to wonder if the OP is Marc Almond...?

littlemsattitude · 16/09/2020 16:24

Could it be the dressing that they use?

Every time I have a McDonalds I get a real problem with flatulence. I have, at great personal cost in the name of Science, tested this out by trying different McDonalds products at different branches and it's always the same. It doesn't happen if I get a Burger King.

NotExactlyMrsCurrentAffairs · 16/09/2020 16:27

Me and DS have only had five guys once, it upset our stomachs and we've never had one since. Thought it was expensive and overrated anyway.

OnceUponAThimble · 16/09/2020 16:28

McD's fry chips in lard too I think?

OnceUponAThimble · 16/09/2020 16:28

Never had five guys. Well, all at once like. Cooked in oil/lard etc.

Inthemuckheap · 16/09/2020 16:30

Leaky condoms and fighting fish?

Plussizejumpsuit · 16/09/2020 16:36

I love a 5 guys and have never been ill neither has my partner. So it's definitely not everyone. I feel like they are super clean compared to any other fast food restaurants. I have no vested interest in defending them! I just think it's harsh if people think they're bad or dirty.

FreekStar · 16/09/2020 16:37

Oh, me too!!!

FreekStar · 16/09/2020 16:38

I put it down to the unlimited coke which I drank a lot of!

Mmn654123 · 16/09/2020 16:40

If you mostly eat chicken elsewhere you may just have reached that stage in life where red meat is a rare treat?!

jessstan2 · 16/09/2020 16:43

@Soubriquet

I think anyone one get stomach issues after having 5 guys GrinWink

I’ve never had them but perhaps they have a certain spice in them that upsets your stomach

I imagine the spice would vary between the guys........ I suggest you don't do five guys all in one day, space them out a bit and see how it goes. Be safe!
ruthwilliams · 16/09/2020 16:45

@Lardlizard i don't like any fast food places there so bad for you my kids alwaus ask and i tell them no its bad for you. they always get in a strop for it. i dont think kids should have anything bad for them only 1 sweet a week is fine
