Ok, you're jumping to a conclusion here that wasn't in the OP, though I can see why. I also cleared it up earlier so you didn't read all the posts.

I ate a solid breakfast, and had eaten a bar and a half by this point in the ride. So I had been eating.

I stopped to fill up both water bottles and decided to try these Bloks for the first time. After eating them, I started feeling poorly.

I make sure I eat good the night before, then that morning when I take off I eat one Clif Shot Blok after that I eat one every 20min and take in some water or sports drink or before I hit a big hill.
That's the stuff I tried last summer. It made me violently ill within 40 minutes of consumption.
