Answer 1

I think it's just a matter of regional preferences.

Answer 2

I don't think there is any difference between the two.

Answer 3

You could also say:

Cada vez que como comida con demasiado aceite estoy enfermo.

Interesting, I've never heard it said that way. I would think you'd have to use something more to convey "I GET sick" rather than estar... - skygoneblue, Jan 13, 2010

Yes. I would say "Cada vez que como comida con demasiado aceite me enfermo.", or even better "La comida con demasiado aceite me enferma." - 00e657d4, Jan 13, 2010

Answer 4

I could be wrong, but doesn't using hallarse give you the opportunity to speak more generally about illness? Left as the OP wrote it, it simply says "I find myself sick", which is more or less, "I'm sick".

But, what about something like this?

"Me hallo enfermo cada que como comida con demasiado aceite."

I get sick (find myself sick) every time I eat food with too much oil.

Does that work?

cada vez? - lorenzo9, Jan 13, 2010
