 YOU ARE RIGHT 100% RIGHT!!
I would really like to know what the draw is for people to eat those stupid little white castle burgers. I lived in Ohio for many years and they were very popular there with poorer people cause they were cheap but even they said that they got terrible indigestion and heartburn from them. 
The odd thing is that now we live in Washington, and people have them shipped out here to their houses and we have even seen them in the frozen food aisle of the grocers. People seem to go crazy for them. 
They are the smallest square hamburgers that have 4 holes in them and are grilled with onions. I had one and threw it up, many years ago. I just dont understand why anyone would eat them, much less order them special or go nuts for them.

Hi Lummi, When I was a teenager,I used to think they tasted
real good. The draw was that they were open 24hrs. a day and
friends of mine and I frequently went there late at night.The
typical crowd there was also quite entertaining. When I was a
senior in high school I participated in a WC eating contest
and ate 27 of those little ratburgers in one sitting, but I
puked within an hour and was disqualified. I wasn't going
to win anyway, some huge guy ate 65 without puking. He
bragged(believe or not) that he was going to eat 100. I've
heard that the former Chicago Bears football player,William
Perry, alias "The Fridge" has eaten over 100 in one sitting

So long as I don't eat it everyday, I can handle a variety of fast food poultry and even fries. Maybe I'm weird that way, but I even tolerated it pretty well before my IBS even resembled stable.
I do very well with a 6-inch Subway turkey on Italian - but the little round buns bother me every time. For veggies on it, I get tomato, cucumbers, and a little green pepper. The grilled chicken works, too, but I prefer the turkey.
I can eat Popeye's fried chicken! Haven't tried KFC. I thought that stuff was nasty before IBS, but Popeye's is okay for me.
Let's see...I can also handle chicken strips some places. It varies. Culver's is a no-go, but I'm okay with one of our local places and Baker's Square. I can do chicken fajitas, too, but that's not exactly fast food.
I'm usually okay with a grilled chicken sandwich from almost anywhere.
As far as salads...I've only recently begun to experiment with lettuce again. I'm hoping for a day when I can dive into a good salad again, but I don't think I'm there yet.

I thought White Castle was extinct. Or should be. They were nasty then and I'm sure they are nasty now. Quarter burgers, see how many you could fit in your mouth. And spend hours in the bathroom.

Yeah. I'm able to tolerate them, I just try to stay away from the mayo. Try asking them to hold the mayo & ask for honey mustard sauce on the side, that's what I do.

Hi Knewada, Yeah, I had my worst case of D after that stupid
stunt, even with puking out half if them, well that's still
13.5 burgers though. Oh yeah, my friends back east tell me
they're still there, and I've seen one or two in Chicago.
There's no WC's west of Chicago though. What's kind of inter-
esting is the names people have for them in different areas.
On Long Island, we called them ratburgers. In Northern New
Jersey they called them sliders because they slide right
through you. -Bob

My family loved sliders growing up. When my brother moved out East, we would stop at the nearest WCt on the way to the airport to pick up a sack for his return trip stock up!
Those little burgers are/were great! (Although, now that I remember, we used to get tummy aches a lot afterwards...it was kind of funny to have 7 people figthing over 2 bathrooms).
They are all over the south suburbs of Chicago!

Beth, Oh wow, You know the White Castle experience too huh.
Oh, so did you grow up on the south side of Chicago? I thought
you once said something about growing up in Ohio. Of course,
there are White Castles there too. I remember they used to
list all the cities where there were WC's on the little boxes
the sliders came in. What was the local nickname for them
there?
So, you have four brothers and or sisters? Where in the
east did your brother move to? -Bob

Who ever started this thread have found one thing that we all seem to have in common. We can tell you the exact moment we ate the worst things ever made. No matter what you call them: sliders, ratburgers, or barfburgers; we all know that is the only way to describe what many of us go through sometimes many times daily.
Rock on for IBS!!!!!!

Yes I agree. If I'm careful and take my full spectrum pill (plant enzymes) I can eat some fast food, but I also can't have mayo on it. Too high in fat, that's my problem. What is a SFS?
