It sounds like your meal was higher in fat than you could handle. I once had D the next day after a salmon meal that somehow, without trying, ending up containing more fat percentage than I could handle at the time. It is amazing how little fat 30% is. It is hard to get a handle on it at first and sometimes I still screw up. Like one time I had my usual peanut chicken noodles but then I had soy ice cream right after and it was too much fat and I got D. One other time I made dinner and put just a little oil in this and that but it was more than I was used to and it ended up by the end of the meal everything had oil and fat in it. It sort of took me by surprise- and I got D. So you will just have to start watching how much percentage of fat is in your meal and play it safe.
