Ever Had Food Poisoning?

[comedyfreak]

It hit me this morning. Friday night at work I had some store bought potato salad and after I got home I began having bad gas. I took Gas Ex went to bed, got up around 2 and went to the movies. We smuggled in Weinerschnitzl I also bought popcorn had a pleasant evening. This morning I woke up fighting to keep everything down I took more gas-ex had water and went back to bed. Feeling better now, still don't want to eat anything accept for a missle pop icecream.

I've never had it, thank goodness. Feel better soon!! :bighug:

[MickeyMac]

I have never had it either.

I've had food poisoning twice. It's terrible, just awful. Once, after eating at a restaurant, and the second time, from Wendy's. I've had stomach aches, cramps, nausea, you name it, in the past; however, food poisoning is in a league of its own. Not to be gross, but it's sickness at both ends. I felt like I was going to die. Looking back, I should have gone to the hospital, but I didn't. I'm positive it was food poisoning though, from reading about it. For those who have never had it, count your lucky stars and pray it never happens to you. I was so sick that my stomach was sore for days, as was other areas of my body. It was 23 and 11 years ago, and I'll remember both incidents until I die. I've never eaten at Wendy's since.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I've had it once and only once...thank God. I know what you mean about it being in a league of its own. It's not like a flu bug or anything like that. It is excrutiating debilitating pain that will not let up and you are right...sickness at both ends. I remember actually passing out. And for over a week after I was "better" I was still in pain and couldn't eat anything. Mine was from bad Thanksgiving turkey when I was 15 (the one and only time my aunt ever made a holiday dinner.) The whole family was terribly ill and my uncle and grandma ended up in the hospital. I am in charge of family holiday meals now and honestly, preparing the turkey makes me queasy to this day!

My Brother had Food Poisoning Last March of 2008

[MrCleveland]

I think I had that eight years ago.

I was at my aunt's Christmas Party and I ate a lot (as usual) but this time, I felt a little nauseated. So I took some antacids...didn't help...then I took some more...didn't help either...so I had no choice but to...:barf:.

I think it was the sausage that I ate from my grandfather's ex Bitchy-poo! (That's the name he gave her).

I've had it several times. The most recent being about 2-3 years ago over the summer. Had a meatball sub from Subway that didn't sit right - turned out the marinara sauce was bad. I was very sick for 2 days afterwards.

I haven't eaten at any Subway since, and probably never will again.

I remember once, about 30 years ago, my family was on vacation at the shore. On our last day my parents bought some steamed clams for us, and my brother and I got sick from them.

[InspectorExstead]

I recently had food poisoning. It's horrible because you're constantly running to the bathroom. Ugh. I feel your pain. Hope you start feeling better, asap!

[Hollywood Rock Chic]

On, God, yes...once, back in the early 1990's. Had steak fajitas at this local restaurant; then within an hour or so, I had the worse stomach cramps, it felt like I have swallowed glass. I was in some much pain, that I could not even stand up...

[comedyfreak]

I feel alot better today, the missle pops helped. No more store bought potato salad for me.

Thank goodness I've dodged that bullet. As teens, my friends wanted to go to McDonalds one night and when I did, I'd always get a chocolate shake at least. This one night my girlfriends went and split a shake together. Both ended up hugging the porcelain for days, and just like you - said it was coming both ends and the worse thing they'd ever had. Made the stomach flu look like a walk in the park. Turns out they put too much bacteria into the batch (that's what they use to thicken the shakes). It was over the allowed limit and got anyone who had a shake from that batch really sick.

I have had food poisoning once. I ate some bad meat. I felt very weak and dizzy. I was sick for a few days.

I've never had classic food poisioning. What I mean by that is I have eaten something and a few hours later I would have an upset stomach and diarrhea. After that I would be fine. That isn't considered food poisioning, it was food that didn't sit right or didn't agree with me.
I did have something like food poisioning though. I was fighting a really bad case of upper respiratory infection and was taking the antibiotic Augmentin. I hate that stuff! It is really strong and it is the only medication that has ever had an affect on me physically.
I went bowling with some friends one night and had eaten a few hours before that but had forgotten to take my pill so I went ahead and took it at the bowling alley with a glass of soda. I didn't eat anything until after we left the bowling alley. We went out and had some pizza. By that time the pill had a chance to sit on my empty stomach so when I finally got home and got ready for bed I started feeling awful. I had never felt so horrible in my life. Even when I have really bad menstural cramps that make me sick, it was worse than that. I felt like I was dying.
All the food I had eaten that day came out both ends and it went on for 4 hours straight. The medication tore up my stomach something awful. I literally had to camp out on the bathroom floor until it was over. I had never felt so disgusting in my life. I knew I was supposed to take the medicine with food and I had eaten earlier that day and I thought it would be alright. I had taken other medicine in the past that had the same type of directions and I was fine. Turns out I was allergic to Augmentin, so now when I take an antibiotic it has to be Amoxicillin.
The entire next day after that my stomach hurt and I couldn't eat anything. I thought it would never end. I know not to make that mistake again and it has never happened since. I don't ever want to experience that ever again. I would rather stick a fork in my hand than to experience what I felt that night.

^ Oh god, Augmentin is HORRIBLE. I had to take that stuff too and I'll never forget how sick it made me. Terrible, chalky taste too puke:

I've had it before a few years ago. I ate a burger that was quite a bit rarer than I'm used too. The next morning I woke up feeling awful and was throwing up every hour for 6 hours. I didn't have an appetite for two days.

[OH Nuts!]

Ive had f.p. 2X. Both times salmonella I think. First time from eating a corned beef sandwhich and the second from some chicken at a salad bar. Each time, about 6 hours after I ate I started feeling nauseous and starting throwing up a lot, and I mean REALLY throwing up, it felt like it was from my head to my toes. I felt so weak I had to take a cab home. My right side felt sore and my mouth had a funny taste in it - like liver. I just rested and drank Gatorade and ate bananas. After sleeping for abt 10-12 hrs I started to feel better.

But there are several kinds of f.p, out there and thank God I never had one bad enough to be hospitalized.

[TJL]

Oh lord, I caught food poisining big time a few years ago.
There's a food market I go to all the time - they have great takeout food at their hot and cold buffet, and I bought some baked tilapa one time.

Boy what a mistake.

I couldn't keep anything in my stomach for two days. Even a sip of water set me to the john.

I still eat at that market all the time, but I stay away from the tilapa when they make it.

[Courtnee]

I've had it. Oh man. I was like, CAMPED OUT in the bathroom. I hope you feel better soon!
