I always feel nauseous after eating foreign foods like Indian or Chinese - could be from the low quality items they use in their cooking?

You are probably imagining an “association”, that is, the fact that some foods you’ve eaten previously made you feel sick causes you to feel sick while eating the food. This is called “sensory bias”. Your feelings are not actually caused by the food, but by the memory of feeling bad, which is an emotional reaction. These reactions are also called “emotional associations”. Some foods you eat may cause you to associate them with feeling sick, which makes you feel bad and sick.
