I have been having bigger bowel troubles ever since I started working in Google five years ago. They went away during the pandemic, but this week I'm sick with some kind of infection in my abdomen again.
I never had that before starting in Google, and I always was able to pretty much eat what I want.
Now I don't think it's the food, which is great (and I have been experimenting to see if I could narrow it down). But this article makes me think it might be the cutlery and plates! Or maybe the glasses and cups?
Any other Googlers here with similar issues?
- acadapter 4y agoI'm not at Google, but I noticed that I have to rinse the coffee cup with hot water 2-3 times, before I take it to the coffee machine. If I forget to do this, my stomach will hurt. My suspicion is that modern dishwashers use too little water. A colleague has his own coffee cup with a custom design, which he hand-washes. I might do the same.
- djmips 4y agoI've always rinsed my dishes no matter how 'clean' they seem to be from a cupboard. I've noticed the residues and a certain slippery feel under water. I rinse them until they are no longer 'slippery'. This could be a rinse aid or it could be bad rinsing of a detergent. Either way I figured it's not a good idea to ingest detergent or rinse aid.
- forgotmypw17 4y agoWith most dishwashers, if I take a freshly 'washed' class out and fill it with water, I can see foamy bubbles all around the edge of the glass which stay for a while. If I then rinse it a couple times and try again, I see a few bubbles which quickly dissipate.
- modeless 4y agoThat's interesting. I also started having more issues after starting at Google. Particularly with dairy, so I chalked it up to lactose intolerance, but I didn't have those problems so much before.
