Aha, an excuse to have to get the expensive coffee! (I'm sorry, but any coffee but Starbucks makes me feel ill)

I have noticed that if I have a latte (which I love but seldom get because they are expensive) I often get a stomach ache. I'm assuming it's something about the milk, although other dairy products don't seem to have that effect. Also, if I have it near a mealtime, I lose my appetite. So I guess it's just as well that I very seldom get one!

And I used to get a stomach ache when I would eat my ex husband's favorite meal to cook - sausages and french fries (not oven fries, but the frozen ones that you actually cook in oil). Spicy foods don't seem to bother my stomach at all, but too much oil or fat does. I really don't enjoy eating really fatty foods anyway, if the fat is obvious when you are eating it, like in really fatty sausages or really oily french fries, or American bacon.
