Could it be something in their water?
I have a friend that when we go to her house I can not drink the water. It
makes me sick.
It doesn't seem to bother their family, I guess they are used to what ever
is in there.
Did you have coffee? Creamer that you don't usually have. Dry creamer can
go bad and you can't tell by looking at it. (I don't use dry creamer, but
from the sound of it the ppl you are eating with may)
