Feeling ill and insomnia after dominos pizza

I like pizza and I admit when I was married we ate delivery pizza often, every 3 or 4 weeks and far too much, no ill effects except weight gain.

Dp isn't keen on delivery pizza (he likes proper Italian pizza) so we rarely have it, the last time was Christmas when kids were back from university and I felt terrible, but put it down to the booze, however yesterday with him away and dd here I ordered it and i feel terrible, couldn't sleep, horrible dry throat, feel sick aka like a hangover except I only drank water. Anyone else experienced this? Have they changed the recipe? Or am I just getting old. Dd is still asleep so can't ask her

I can't eat anything from Pizza Hut. Always made me ill.

accentdusoleil · 31/05/2021 09:36

I feel like that after Chinese

I presume for you it's something in the dough base ?

I always feel like this after Dominos (gutting!!)
I have always put it down to the salt content, and I am up all night drinking water, feeling absolutely rubbish.

TuckMyWin · 31/05/2021 09:39

I think it’s the salt. Happens to me as well, also, to a lesser extent, with Chinese.

Do you have a fatty liver op? Or gallstones? It could be something like that and the excess fat and carbs have exacerbated it.

Or do you usually eat healthily? I find that the healthier my diet, the more my tolerance for junk food diminishes.

Also, speaking for myself, once I got past a certain age, I found my digestion just wasn't as robust as it had been in my youth. And I can't eat any sort of pizza late at night or I get indigestion.

CagneyNYPD · 31/05/2021 09:41

Yep, the high salt content will be the culprit.

Losttheequipment · 31/05/2021 09:41

The amount of salt has definitely increased. I suppose they do it to sell more drinks, but it results in me buying less pizza from them. I get pizza express delivered these days - it’s much nicer.

Topsyair · 31/05/2021 09:48

Any delivered pizza gives me diarrhoea. I think it's the grease and mixture of bread and cheese

Violetroselily · 31/05/2021 09:49

The Dominos hangover as I call it. I think it's it's salt.

doadeer · 31/05/2021 09:50

I think it's the salt in domino's you feel dehydrated like a hangover. I feel like this sometimes, we always get Italian style pizzas rather than domino

My DD can’t eat Dominos pizza without feeling ill afterwards.

user1471538283 · 31/05/2021 11:01

I am always rough after Dominos. I think it's the salt and grease.

A friend of ours, when we lived overseas, always felt ill after eating takeaway food. A dietitian she knew said it was the monosodium glutamate attacking her liver. We’re we lived it was heavily used and sold in the supermarkets.

It could be that OP, or simply the amount of salt. I think you should drink lots of water today.

My DD messed up her funds last week and ended up eating lots of beige food. She said she felt like crap.

newnortherner111 · 31/05/2021 11:16

Sounds like the salt, I am two minutes walk from one but have never been to it.

I'm sure you will never order from them ever again and hope you are feeling better quickly.

Jaipreet98 · 30/08/2021 04:14

No its not you, their pizza are way too greasy plus the cheese is also kinda oily and I believe are unhealthy. Also if you haven't had such kind of food in a while, your digestive system is not able to take it.

Longdistance · 30/08/2021 04:33

I find Domino’s very salty, so we never have it. That and the fact that they ask for about £10 for a piece of dough with tomato sauce and cheese on. We just buy Asda or Sainsbury’s counter pizzas. Pizza makes me bloat and occasionally makes me feel ill. It’s just if I have too much wheat based products.

MrsDThomas · 30/08/2021 07:05

Im also like that after chinese, its the MSG i cant stand so I stopped eating it years ago.

blobby10 · 30/08/2021 07:48

I had this the last time I had Dominos two years ago - never had one since x don’t have the issue with Chinese but only tend to have chicken chop suey

NeonJellyBaby · 30/08/2021 07:56

Dominoes always makes me wee loads afterwards. I’m assuming that’s the salt content as well?

Bunnycat101 · 30/08/2021 08:03

I find I get night sweats after eating too much dominos and sometimes can’t sleep. God knows what’s in it- the salt must cause the sweating but I’m sure there must be something else too.

thesplashing · 30/08/2021 08:07

Yes I get the salty night sweats after dominos - I won't eat it now, it's not worth feeling like crap for two days after

Cazzovuoi · 30/08/2021 08:10

MSG. It does it to me every time. I feel ill (not nauseous), fuzzy headed, headache and achey limbs. I can tell in about 10 minutes if I’ve accidentally eaten it.

Despite asking and being told no, they don’t use it, it happens. Nothing else does it to me except MSG

PandoraP · 30/08/2021 08:12

I always feel like that after Indian takeaways so can’t have them anymore. I like Dominoes, but can only eat 2 or 3 slices. How much did you have?

LynnInAVan · 30/08/2021 08:14

This is totally a thing. Called the Dominos Sweats in our house

Aspiringmatriarch · 30/08/2021 08:14

My partner can't eat Dominos without feeling ill afterwards, stomach problems etc. I also think they've changed the recipe recently, don't think I'll be ordering from them again tbh.
