"Guess what I wrote an article about!"

"Hitch?"

"The Pizza Sickness!"

"Oh lord."

Pizza is yummy, I hope you enjoy your sickness

tell the pizzeria to put less salt on your pie... that might be the problem...often the cheese itself is too salty...
in any event... good pizza is worth the 'sickness'...enjoy!

Us guys suffer from that too. But "we" usually drown it in BEER!

There is no such thing as pizza without beer! Slurrrppp!

I don't get that way from pizza. However, if I eat bacon or sausage, I'm thirsty all day. No matter what I drink, I'm still thirsty. From that morning until night. Then, like you, it's gone in the morning.

Do you order meat the pizza? It could perhaps be from that? Depending on the meat, it can be salty sometimes.

It's puzzling, though. Every time I say something to my mom she usually asks, "Really?" I'm the only person in the house who has that reaction to meat.

Thanks, hehe. It was very yummy.

I think you may be right...I hadn't considered that, but it makes sense. And I can live with a little sickness when I'm getting so much saucy, cheesy goodness in return!

little whip:

I dunno what type of pizza you guys get, but here's some random nutritional info for ya regarding sodium (salt) content.

Hahaha...we get whatever we have a coupon for!

Pizza Hut

Medium Pan Pizza 620 mgs (26%)

Dominoes 14" Large (2 slice serving)

Special Veggie Pizza 1368 mgs

Yikes. I think you're right...it's a sodium/salt issue. Wow.

Solution? MAKE YOUR OWN!

I do that fairly often (once a week or so) but sometimes I just gotsta have the naughty pizza. Maybe just learn to eat less of it?

PS- You may want to eat a banana to balance out your potassium levels which get all screwed up when you become dehydrated from too much salt. If the problem persists, I'd see a doctor, chikka.

Banana...good idea. Thanks! I've had this problem for as long as I can remember and I seem to be the only one in the family who has it (and Adrian eats FAR more pizza than I do, plus wings and all that junk!), so maybe I should go in and ask about it.

Hehe...I never got used to pizza and beer. It's always soda and pizza for me. I'm not on birth control right now, so no beer for me anyways.

Guys have it easy, hehe.

Hey, don't knock Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper (oh, also full of sodium!) and pizza!

That's really interesting, and pretty much backs up the whole sodium overdrive idea.

I'm not much of a meat eater, so it's usually cheese pizza or veggie pizza for me.

It's puzzling, though. Every time I say something to my mom she usually asks, "Really?" I'm the only person in the house who has that reaction to meat.

Well, I'm glad to hear from someone else who knows what I'm talking about, even if it's The Meat Sickness variation, hehe.

Pizza and Coke, baby. All the way. They were made for each other.

Soda does absolutely NOTHING to curb your thrist. But then neither does beer!

I get unbearably thirsty when I eat too much of anything. The thirst usually hits me in the dead of night.

When I was a teenager pizza used to make my teeth ache. Excruciatingly so. My teeth hurt so bad that I would fantasize about yanking my teeth out with pliers. I dunno what that was all about, but thankfully I still have my teeth and I don't get that pain anymore.

Hope you get your pizza sickness figured out. I agree that eating a banana would be a good, healthy, natural way for the potassium to balance out the salt...and maybe try Gatorade to quench the thirst aspect. I call Gatorade "salty bananas" because of the sodium & potassium. Maybe you could do without the salt in Gatorade, but who notices the salt? It's just plain yummy

Everytime I eat a lot of pizza [...] After two (ok, three or four) slices...

Four slices is a lot? No, no, no, my friend. It doesn't become "a lot" until you've eaten more than one whole pizza.

I've definately had that too Tex! I prefer to drown mine with very very cold beer. That works for me! But it's definately the salt!

My goodness Whip, the vege pizza is the worst in calories uh? Now why am I not surprised at that, !
