So, I ate at Barton Creek Mall on Sunday in the food court. I ate at the Japanese place where they grill the chicken right in front of you. Apparently it was not fully cooked because I got food poisoning Sunday night and all day Monday.....I have not been able to eat more than a half piece of toast in the last 2 days. Has anyone else had this, and how long does it last? I feel pretty good today, but still not able to "stomach" much. I am off to England tomorrow, and want to partake like normal but am afraid that I will be somewhat limited. Anyone else have FP experience? DD
Nah, We are going ahead with our launch this Saturday in London. Thus the trip over. www.gizmondostudios.com is the developers website. The giz will be a fun ride no matter what it's conclusion...but this Food Poisoning...YECK ! DD
it usually lasts a couple days limit yourself to blah starchy foods for a couple days this was the advice from my Dr. last time it happened to me good luck in jolly ol england
Thanks Voodoo. One cool part of this trip is that I get to meet Sting on Friday, we are talking about a deal with him. I think my wife is more excited than I am. DD
How can I put this.... Do you have a bad case of the sh!ts? If your excrement is liquid enough to crap through a straw, then you certainly have salmonella. If so, then I can definitely sympathize. It's a terrible affliction. The only cure is time, so try to take it easy. Hopefully, it isn't anything worse. In any case, I would see the doc to make sure.
I definitly had this on Sunday and Monday, today a bit but it is starting to solidify...I THINK !! At least I have not had to go all day..... DD
I second the bland food motion. I had food poisoning a few months ago. I even went to the doctor. She had me eat nothing for the rest of that day -- just ice chips. Then she said I could have mashed potatoes, toast, jello, bananas (I think), and rice. I lived on jello, bland mashed potatoes, and toast for a couple of days. Oh, and chicken broth. Not bad on the mashed potatoes. Go light on the butter on the potatoes and toast -- or do without it if you can. Forgot one other thing: apple sauce. You can have that too.
I got food poisoning from the Los Cucos mexican restaurant next to Katy Mills mall back in August. It just so happened the next day i had to make a 6 hour drive for a funeral. Very fun...
I've had food poisoning from grilled chicken at Chili's near my house. The worst part to me was the unbearable intestinal and stomach cramps that I had. Hey - I think you're not supposed to take Immodium or anything like that. Supposedly, it prevents your body from purging the bug that's in your digestive system. A solution I've found is to fast. Go as long as you can while drinking as little as you can (just water), and don't eat any food. Eventually, when you can't bear it any more, eat some food and your body won't purge it. You'll feel week for a little while afterwards, but it seems that the body gets over it faster if you fast. (note: I'm not a doctor). -- droxford
No, don't ever take Immodium for food poisoning issues. Don't fast, well, don't stop drinking water. In fact, it's almost better to drink Pedialyte, or even gatorade or powerade. You definitely need to restore the fluids you're losing through the other end....
By a box of those Metamucil packets, and start taking that 2 or 3 times a day. Things will start to work better pretty quickly, I think. My doctor says Pepto-Bismol beats anything else for that ailment, btw. And stay away from food court garbage, but you know that, don't you! My wife really laughed at your sign the other day. I swear, there is no accounting for her sense of humor! Have a great trip, DD.
i had food poisoning 3 times once with a BBQ the meat was not done. i was ok until i got up the next day. Once with Fish soup. it was at my birthday. and suddenly i jsut got very sick, it was a couple of hours after diner. I just send everybody away. And once when i ate at a restaurant. the fish was not good. And i had to play a tennis match the next mourning, i never played worse. i was like: ok so this i my racket, and somewhere over at the other side of the net is an opponent..... ok he is gonna serve..... oh wait the ball is already behind me. ok now i have to serve, when te worlds stops spinning i might know in wich direction i have to throw the ball and then hit it. i do not think i have to tell you i didn't win that match. al three times i just couldn't stand up. and i threw up alot. good luck
I am not a Dr. I lived with a RN for years and she recommended the B.R.A.T. diet for children with intestinal problems. B--BAnannas R--Rice A--Apple Sauce T--Toast I also recommend Pedialite and gatorade to restore the electrolites.... I got food poisoning at "La Fonda San Miguel" in 1978 -I ate the "Vera Cruz" fish. The special promoted by the waiter and Maitre D.I was hurling at a theatre on Hancock Lane --locked out of restroom -while my girlfriend watched "Fiddler on the Roof" I was having "anal seepage " while Zero Mostel sang "If I were a Rich Man" I wanted to go kill the MGR at "La Fonda San Miguel" when I got well 3 days later. My body swelled with infection and I became Jaundiced-ornage -yellow- and I weathered it out at home- treated as an out patient at the UT student health center... No fun - my sympathy to you DD....
