I mentioned on a previous thread that Andrew was poorly last week. On friday although tired he had an appetite and I cooked him Quorn with some rice. He had it the week before and was OK but after a few hours he was really ill. At that point we did not associate the connection but sunday he had more and within a couple of hours he was violently ill and has been up all night.
I googled "Quorn side effects" and it was scary. The manufacturer leads you to believe it is mushroom based but it is in fact a mould and the body can often tolerate it once but if you trickle feed you can get a reaction and Andrew did. He has an appointment for the doctors for his collapsing on thursday this morning but is living in the bathroom.
We cook with it a lot, for more than 10 years, without any side effects. I guess it's like all foods, different people have different intolerances. Hope Andrew feels better soon

Andrew managed to come out the bathroom and I took him to the Doctors and left him there to get on with it. He was sent for blood tests and an ECG which was normal. Doc thinks he had a blood pressure drop probably linked to the tablets he takes. Tummy calmer, all 3 packs of Quorn in the bin and plans to go into work tomorrow.
i'm a veggie and I live on Quorn! at least 3 tmes a week and never had any side effects...have heard that it can happen though, hope he feels better soon.
yep am a veggie of over 30 years and have had quorn many many many times, and never had any problems... in fact what you describe is me after meat.... hence I'm a veggie. However as with anything you can never tell but I hope Andrew is feeling better now.
How do you all cook yours? I gently fried it and then simmered it with some tomatoes and sauces for 15 minutes? Andrew still not well enough to go to work. Very windy in our house at the moment. Self generating nearly.
We chuck it in a pan with a little oil for a few minutes before adding a jar cooking sauce, or with onions, mushrooms, gravy with seasoning & heat in saucepan till all veg cooked to your liking.
