There are times when I am on the road, early nursing visits and don't have time for a breakfast or a lunch....Definitely I can't eat the hamburgers they make....30 minutes or so after eating....BAM! ...Less frequency with a breakfast sandwich but it does happen.....
I just have to pack a snack when I have long days....Panera is a good option if I have time to relax and eat...never GI disturbance events...

(29,816 posts)The only item I recall ordering is bacon, egg & cheese biscuit, which I consider edible when the biscuits havent started setting like concrete. The last breakfast burrito was at least 3 years ago. It was repulsive. Suffice to say, the one item I occasionally get from McDonalds definitely doesnt give diarrhea. Opposite effect, perhaps.

(14,877 posts)it is a faster/ cheaper quick convince but the after effects are not worth it....I just won't use them even at the last minute....a bagel will work too from Panera...vs Mickeys...
I may of only eaten from Mickeys say 6-8 time max all year.... I can be creative...

Be well & stay safe out there.

To the land of Dunkin, I relied on their breakfast sandwiches when I was busy driving around and didn't have time for anything else...normally I get the maple bacon and an order of those stuffed mini bagels. Last month I got a breakfast sandwich on No Kings day because I wanted to get to my protest place on time.
Good thing I went home soon after as I had hershey squirts for the next 36 hours. That cured me.

(81,249 posts)Sorry to hear the Dunkin' food made you ill. Sadly, most of them are really high in fat & cholesterol, maybe that's why?

(103,354 posts)There were a couple options. I really am not a fast food consumer, the year long moving process was a sacrifice I made for the short term. I'm back to normal diet now so maybe the shock of fast food was all it took. Haven't been able to eat most fast food products for decades due to unpleasant after effects.
