Donuts make me sick

I meant to add I have trouble with most fried food but I can handle some baked donuts.

Sounds like it's a combination of very high sugar content + deep fried in oil. Sugar and grease, in short. And probably more the latter. If you're not used to eating deep fried food, having a deep fried product can suddenly seem way too much oil/grease all at once. I've had similar issues as I eat plenty of baked goods, but it's never deep fried and once in a blue moon I have something deep fried and it definitely does not sit well on my stomach.

A bowl of ice cream may also have a high calorie content but much less sugar and most of the calories are from the dairy.

I only know you can't be a cop. Sorry.

I can't eat donuts but it's because I'm intolerant to fresh yeast baked goods - migraine sufferers usually can't tolerate fresh bread or any fresh yeast products

Go get a physical just in case. My husband just had his gall bladder out and he thought he had eaten a bad oyster. That said, he had an upset stomach often and would could not pinpoint why except for rich/fatty foods. He thought it was because he was getting old! His stomach issues went away overnight once the gall bladder was removed.

It may be an ingredient that is common to donuts. I have the same reaction to sweet breads (zucchini, banana, carrot, etc) purchased from a certain very popular vendor at our local Farmer's Market. The breads are absolutely delicious to eat but within an hour I feel so nauseous, woozy and ill that I must lie down or fall down. No one else in the family is affected this way. I am otherwise very healthy and fit but I do have other food allergies (that affect me differently) so I think I just have some sort of low-grade reaction to an ingredient. And I have not had a problem eating the same types of sweet breads from other purveyors or that I make at home.

Me too, and I don't shy away from carbs or baked goods usually.

I don't know the answer to your question, but in college my dorm was near a donut shop. They started making donuts early in the am and, while my friends loved the smell in the air, it used to make me nauseous. I think it was the fried oil.

Not that i know of... why?

Triggered by fatty, rich foods.

That was my thought as well. I had mine out 20 years ago, and my "stomach" issues went away.

It could be the smell. I get an instant headache the second I smell or eat them.

There are 4 donut/pastry shops near me and they all make me feel sick.

The THOUGHT of eating a Walmart donut makes me sick. Just walking into a Walmart makes me sick.

Doughnuts also make me feel a little sick after.

Nauseated. You mean nauseated.

Nauseous means you are making other people about to throw up.
