DUmmy Gets Food Poisoning - Again

I can't remember ever getting food poisoning.

I've gotten the stomach flu a few times, but I always managed to know who I caught it from.

1. Food poisoning is miserable -
 
you feel like you have to get better in order to die. But going vegan won't prevent you from getting it because salmonella and e. coli are often carried on vegetables.

6. the most common cause of food poisoning in the us is norovirus
 
It's spread by food service workers and poor sanitation, the food itself is mostly irrelevant, though ready to eat and raw foods are higher risk.

7. Like someone above said...

plenty of water, but also, don't take anything to stop the emissions from either end, if you get my drift.

You want that bad stuff to get the hell out.

I read that it's pretty much OK to let it run its course for 24 to 48 hours without any interference.

Food poisoning sucks!

11. Yes good advice
 
Once I took a gravol the second I started to feel nauseous (the kids all had it and I thought I could forgo the worst of it with gravol). OMG don't EVER do that. I ended up on the floor with the worst stomach pain I've had in my life (aside from labor and gallstones) and then after a few hours of absolute misery, it got worse. It came out both ends at the same time...for hours.


Now, when my kids start barfing and I feel nauseous, I just leave it alone. I stop eating and drinking (except small sips of water) until it passes. If I do start vomiting, I do 'gastric rest' and in my experience with the kids, when we do 'gastric resting' it passes quickly - it's usually gone in 12 hours. So much better than previous bouts that lasted days and days. A doctor at the ER explained the technique to me when one of my kids was overly dehydrated from a bout with norovirus. It worked like a charm.

Basically, if you vomit, you take nothing by mouth for 1-2 hours, then you start up again with a TEASPOON of a rehydration solution (Gatorade, pedialyte) every 15 minutes. If you vomit again, you start over. If after an hour, you hold down the teaspoon, then you graduate to a tablespoon every 10-15 minutes for an hour. Then a tablespoon every 5 minutes. Then sips out of a cup. Then dry toast. If at any time you vomit, you start over.

That technique has never failed to cut short a stomach virus in our family.

I had a very bad case earlier this summer. It was dreadful.

Never saw so many barfers   :puke:  :puke:  :puke:

Do none of these people own a cooking thermometer?

One of the last two times I got food poisoning was about 15 years ago... I got a chicken sandwich from a fast food place that had been sitting out getting a tan under the heat lamps.

I have gotten in once, salmonella in Cozumel. It sucked and two weeks later in New York (my 40th birthday) my knee swelled up (HUGE) and I couldn't walk. I had reactive arthritis for the first time. An autoimmune response to the salmonella.

I still can't tell what's in that.  Is that supposed to be pasta?  Tamales?  I'm so confused.

I don't know what it's supposed to be, but this is what I (and a lot of others here) see . . .

Advice for DUmmies: Don't be afraid of food poisoning; it rarely kills anyone, and it's a great way to lose weight!

Immediately after using the toilet (no handwashing allowed!), garnish a sun-dried chicken breast with a generous dollop of warm mayonnaise. Draw a smiley-face in the mayo with your finger. Eat it all up, and watch the pounds melt away!

I think I got food poisoning once in my life, and I've eaten sketchy stuff all over the world.  The "monkey meat" in the Philippines is the one that got me.

The missus & I both got it simultaneously from pork fried rice from a Chinese takeout somewhere between 10 and 15 years ago. I later learned that Bacillus Cereus was the likely culprit, as this bacteria has an affinity for fried rice left under heat lamps.

I no longer eat fried rice unless I know it came straight off the cooktop.
