Poll of the Day > This food poisoning is one of the worst experiences I've ever had

(+) Yeah! (+)

Had food from a Jamaican food truck on Wednesday, and thought it was normal that the meat (maybe it was chicken, maybe it was beef, I cant remember) was always a little bright pink in the middle. I didnt care because I was all drained out from a particularly taxing training period for my new job.

Im fine Thursday morning, but I started getting stomach cramps around 11. Then I started heading to the bathroom every hour on the hour. Then I started puking there too.

And suddenly I couldnt eat. Couldnt sleep. Couldnt even get up from bed. I had to skip out on a day during my first week of my new job. I know that probably reflected badly on me, but there was no way I could ever do work if I was constantly in the bathroom.

And now I seriously havent eaten solid food since Thursday. Im about to put a few (like 4) chicken fingers in the oven but Im honestly unsure I can even eat that. Just the thought of eating them is tying my stomach into knots.

No chicken fingers for you! Stick to eating toast, chicken broth, rice, applesauce, etc. Nothing too harsh.

Canada Dry ginger ale will help your stomach as well.

Feel better soon dude. Hugs

Stomach viruses are the worst, always. You have fever AND vomiting/diarreah. The best thing to do is to just vomit as much as you can in the first 6-12 hours. It's what'll get rid of the bloating for the most part.

Avoid eating out of food trucks unless you have some assurance that they're clean. NYC food trucks and stalls are known to be extremely disgusting/dirty.

report the idiots to the health department for serving you raw chicken

Im slowly feeling better, but I still feel like death due to a severe lack of nutrition.

Hopefully my 9 hour day tomorrow isnt too bad. >_>

Drink gatorade and coconut water. Anything to replenish your electrolytes. You'll feel better.

You are going to need to force yourself to eat for a day or two as well. Go with simple things like white rice and boiled vegetables.

I would say chicken and turkey is a safe protein but you probably dont want to eat poultry for awhile.

I got poisoned the morning before a flight. Ate an omelette and then threw up twice in the airport and then a bunch on the plane. We flew to England and the next day or later that day cause of time zones we went to stone hedge and I still felt sick and laid down on the grass next to it

It was the druids...they totally cursed you!!!

Light broth at first, then possibly put a few noodles/pasta in the broth to get some carbs in you. It's pretty safe, and easy to throw up if it doesn't stay down.

Same thing later, but get some french bread to go with it, just eat a bit, then rest, at a bit more after your sure it'll stay down.

Once you get some food in you, and keep it down, you will feel better. The broth also helps hydrate you as well.

I've gotten lucky and not had food poisoning in along time, it really sucks when you get it. I mostly make my own food (Which is always safe and delicious) or eat at high quality places.

When I ate everywhere in my 20's, I digested food so fast that it didn't have time to get me sick lol.

If your still alive and sick go to the emergency room.
