Could old Cool Whip have done this to me last night?

Asked by Aster (20023points) May 8th, 2013

I had Cool Whip on dessert but it had lost it’s creaminess. That is, the texture it used to have had turned to lumpiness but it tasted ok. Not perfect but ok. So last night I had , not acid, but a tablespoon, approximately, of actual food come up into my upper throat twice, half an hour apart. Sort of like I wanted to vomit but had no nausea. Could it have been the Cool Whip which is now in the garbage?

Yup, but it may have been just the fact that it is “plasticized oil” to start out with.

Could have been in the early signs of sourness?

@Tropical_Willie well, I doubt that . I’ve eaten it for many years with no reaction.
@Inspired_2write If it can be in the early stages of sourness but you can’t taste sour then yes its possible. But with my experience with Cool Whip it goes from just fine to black or green.

@Aster
Before bread “looks” bad with mold , the mold spores accummulate without been seen by the naked eye.
Perhaps same with dairy products such as ‘Cool Whip”?

Burping up vomit is normal from time to time. Could be early signs of acid reflux to come

If you are prone to it, I do believe creamy things can cause acid reflux.

Cool Whip is just vegetable oil; it’s not dairy based. It’s doubtful that it would make you sick, even if you’d left it on a dessert a little longer than you’d rather. I mean, it might not taste as fresh, and I’m sure the texture was not ideal, but it was probably fine.

On the other hand, consuming food which you believe might make you sick can actually make you want to vomit. I am guessing that it was your perception of the food that prompted your response.

@pleiades I think this might be the case. Thank you.
