You're reacting to one of the ingredients used to prepare it.
Try eating it without the additional fresh leaves and onions let's see. And maybe the additional pepper too.
Or just hold your flagyl tabs one corner grin . As you chop finish, take am!
Your Friday must Friday!!!

Lol na to avoid it completely.

Why you no go purge when you get heart eat am alone without inviting a sister? You get heart sha. cheesy That's on the lighter side anyway.

Now, the reason could be that they added too much potash and/or seasoning or even pepper to the Nkwobi. You know our body systems differ. Try patronizing a different person, if you still get same experience/result, then know that your body doesn't accept such delicacies. You can then officially move over to sipping garri and groundnut cheesy like someone has earlier suggested, inugo.


Ok tnx

Potash Aka Akanwu has been used in food preparation for centuries, and it's especially popular in Middle East and Africa.

It's often used to tenderize meat, and it's also used as a thickening agent in soups and stews. In addition to its culinary uses, potash has also been used as a laxative.

It works by drawing water into the intestines, which can help to loosen stools and make them easier to pass.
However, it's important to use potash in moderation, as too much can cause dehydration and other health problems.

Tnx

Every stomach is different so you need to figure your stomach out. Find out what it is you react to by varying the content of your recipe. Another way is to work on building your stomach through the use of probiotics .e.g. Yogurt. By imbibing them you sort of fortify your stomach. grin
"Kefir grains."
Water kefir... or Milk kefir as probiotics.

Yeah.. You're right
But then if we're talking about good bacteria Greek (unsweetened) yogurt should be it.

Thanks all the same.
True that... Greek yogurt is a good probiotic.

Serendipity2023:
Is there any scientific reason why I have diarrhoea "purging" each time I eat Nkwobi, Isi ewu or Abacha?

Is it the potash or pepper?
From the Nigerian recipe cook book I read a few months back, Nkwobi and the Isi ewu (Goat head delicacy) are made of exactly the same ingredients, but the difference is that Nkwobi is made up of cow legs, while the Isi Ewu is made of boiled goat head with the goat's brain mixed in the dish. I would NEVER eat that yuck called Isi iwu with the brains tbh, but would surely like to taste Nkwobi and Abacha for the first time ever in 2024.

It’s from the potash and seasoning.. when using potash the quantity of seasoning should be considered as too much of it leads to stomach upset.
