Oh, aren't you funny. I love Alabama actually - I moved here for love and found much more. I like the heat and I live on 4 acres with lots of tree and my own creek with jasmine growing every where. I hate the cold, even the mild Denver winters were miserable for me.
But back to business... I never eat at restaurants. Ever. If I do, I experience exactly what you describe. For me, it's usually soy - My body can't digest soy and if I accidently get even a little bit, I'll have a terrible stomach ache (occasionally D which is unheard of for me) within 20 minutes. Otherwise, I'll be totally locked up (not C, just horribly "incomplete" for a week or longer. Soy is a common allergen, but the soy industry has us all convinced that it's healthy. And it's in Everything.
If you haven't already, you might try getting tested for food sensitivities by a holistic-type practitioner. I am sensitive to wheat, soy, dairy, red meat, nuts, etc. etc. etc. But soy is by far the worst. That's why I don't eat at restaurants - because soy and/or soybean oil is in almost every can, bottle, jar, bag or carton, there's no way to avoid it if someone else cooks for you.
If you've never been sensitive to soy before, it might be sneaking up on you as you <sigh> get older. Or maybe not... just my $0.02!
