Re: Can you eat too much garlic?
Tue, November 1, 2005 - 2:50 PMSometimes, after eating the antipasto plate at my now defunct favorite restuarant, I would have garlic breath literally for several days no matter how many times I brushed, but no ill effects. There were roasted bulbs of garlic with the tops hacked off so you could squeeze out pure garlic paste to spread on the bread. I don't think it was too much. -

Re: Can you eat too much garlic?
Tue, November 29, 2005 - 6:25 AMi've never *felt* bad frome eating too much garlic, but i've smelt pretty bad!
i overindulged at Stinking Rose too, kꦿd . right afterwards i caught a redeye back to atlanta. let's just say it was a good thing everybody on the plane was already asleep, 'cause i'm pretty sure they would've tossed me off the plane otherwise. my mom picked me up at the airport and was gagging all the way home. :-D

Re: Can you eat too much garlic?
Wed, November 2, 2005 - 6:08 AMGarlic poisoning is apt to happen to dogs and cats more than humans. But in this article:
www.islamset.com/healnews/...arlic.html
are these two sentences:
"However, many health professionals warn the high sulphur content in garlic can cause colitis and dermatitis by destroying the natural flora in the gut.
"High doses of garlic may even prevent blood clotting and interfere with proper thyroid function."
Don't know of the accuracy or of the truth of the statements. But moderation is a good thing to practice. -

Hmm. Perhaps that's why garlic also tends to engender Unholy Flatulence?

Mon, November 7, 2005 - 10:14 PMHow do I know if the plants are dying because I reek of garlic or because I forgot to water them for 6 straight months again? -

Tue, November 15, 2005 - 10:04 PMUmm... because spider plants are supposed to be really good air purifiers? And I'm probably the only person in the world who has ever killed one. -

Re: Can you eat too much garlic?
Thu, December 1, 2005 - 6:00 PMnah - i killed a spider plant once. but it took some doing.
once i ate lotsa raw garlic at once, and had the hiccups for an hour straight. and my eyes watered really bad. nothing too traumatic.
technically, one could drink too much water, too. or smoke too much weed. but no one generally does. i don't recommend forcing yourself to eat garlic against your stomach's will. -

Re: Can you eat too much garlic?
Thu, December 1, 2005 - 8:34 PMThere are cases on file of people (medical students, even), who drank so much water in a "water drinking" contest, it caused their brains to swell into the foramen magnum, and they died.
You should probably not eat so much garlic it kills a spider plant. -

Re: Can you eat too much garlic?
Wed, January 11, 2006 - 9:31 PMif you're full, and all you've been eating is garlic, might be a good time to take a break.
only time i've ever had trouble is on and empty stomach and eating a lot of raw garlic... not a good feeling -

This is the maximum depth. Additional responses will not be threaded.
Re: Can you eat too much garlic?
Sun, January 15, 2006 - 6:09 PMaction-- same here... I ate like 5 cloves of crushed raw garlic over matzo with olive oil. I had this craving, but it literally started to hurt my mouth, then later, my stomach wasn't at it's best.

Re: Can you eat too much garlic?
Mon, January 23, 2006 - 2:27 PMI don't think you can eat too much in general... but I do know that you can eat too much garlic too late at night... if you eat lots of ginger garlic and onions... (three of my favs.)... then you'll hyave a crazy night of dreams.... I guess those and others like it cause your brain to be very active making it hard to fall in to deep REM sleep....
