Food poisoning

thelad95 · 10-03-2017 08:31PM #1

Pretty sure I have it right now, won't bore you with the grzzly details but I feel like every bit of water and energy has been sucked from my body.

Any tips apart from hydration?

Take a bath in warmed goats milk.

Order a Chinese you be fine.

No solid food or dairy products and keep hydrated. That's pretty much it if its coming out both ends.

JackTaylorFan · 10-03-2017 08:42PM

Put a butt plug in to stop the leaking

antodeco · 10-03-2017 08:44PM

Diarolyte and plenty of fluids!

What you think you got it from?

Lorelli! · 10-03-2017 08:44PM

There's quite a few people I know who have recently caught what seems to be a really contagious bug so it's going around. Lasts for a day or two. It might be that op.

Soda water.

Dioralyte to replace fluids and electrolytes, and plenty of rest. Bugs and food poisoning are miserable things to have, feel better soon OP.

The_Valeyard · 10-03-2017 08:52PM

Had it before,

Wouldn't wish it on worst enemy.

Plenty of water,
Keep near toilet bowl and sink If your in water fountain mode.

Prepare to phone in sick for next couple days.

Meant to take a dioralyte after each..."passing".

Keep the phone charged and cool some bog roll in the fridge.

Babywipes are your best friend right now. Saves on all that wear and tear.

Jellybaby1 · 10-03-2017 09:03PM

I agree, Dioralyte works. If you don't have that in the house and can't get out to get it, I was told by a nurse to mix a glass of water with a little salt and sugar and drink it throughout the day to prevent dehydration and keep your energy up.

Just as an aside...I am Coeliac and if I ate a wholemeal sandwich right now I would be feeling the same effects as the OP, though its years since I went through it, so my heart grieves for you. Hope you are better very soon OP.

You poor thing, sounds awful.

A pinch of salt and two teaspoons of sugar to a tumbler of lukewarm water is about right if you can't get Dioralyte OP. Lukewarm is easier on your tum than cold.

Nothing like sitting on a toilet trying to puke and sh*t at the same time to make you appreciate good health and the importance of cooking food properly

Like a lot of threads on AH's, lets pull this one in a different direction. Lets get mad pedantic.:D

How dare you suggest that the OP didn't cook food properly. They could have eaten out in a restaurant, cafe, deli. You don't know all the facts.

The OP never described the symptoms in detail so how do you know if they are puking and ****ting at the same time? You don't. So stop making assumptions.

Last time I had food poisining it was the night before halloween.

I got it from a garlic chips that I had in some dive of a chippy on pearse street.
I spent the day on the toilet and was in rag order. Not washed. Shaking like a leaf. Pale skin that was more blue/green than white.. Red eyes popping out of my head. Green tongue.

I gave the trick or treaters a right fright when I answered the door.

That's all well and good on your ass but you'll make ****e of your sewers, you'll be rodding then in a couple of days!

I thought it was a bit of an over reaction. I'll delete.

retro:electro · 10-03-2017 10:31PM

Dioralyte or if you can't stomach it lucozade is good too.

My fault. Joke gone wrong. I was just using your post as an excuse to post like a pedantic type, because so many great threads here get derailed by pedantic eejits. Lets get back to the puke and ****.:D

mynamejeff · 10-03-2017 10:54PM

christ no !! a mistake i made ,

puking a body temperature 500 ml bottle of lucozade is still a memory i do not cherish

pragmatic1 · 10-03-2017 11:01PM

Flat 7up is good.

Winterlong · 10-03-2017 11:03PM

And mass. Tell friends to go to mass for you.

Surreptitious · 10-03-2017 11:06PM

I've learned how to whip my arse as quick as my head to counteract simultaneously sprouting crap from both ends in these situations.

cbreeze · 10-03-2017 11:07PM

Immodium as per label after each episode then dioryalite as you go, or as suggested earlier, salt and sugar - a packet of crisps and full strength 7 up can work too. Best of luck with it.

I'm not a doctorologist but don't use immodium for food poisoning. You want whatever is making you sick to come out, not stay in.

Sorry I haven't had the chance to reply I've been....... busy......

The thought of lucozade horrifies me right now, I've got chamomile tea and that's doing the trick nicely.

Think I got it from some ham, I had earlier, I think it was opened in the fridge for four days, I know the guideline is three but it smelled fine and I was hungry so hey!

About an hour after eating it, the nausea kicked in, then it sounded like someone kept flushing the toilet so loud were the gurgles from my stomach and you get the picture after that.

I've 'stabilised' enough to go to sleep although I'm so drained I hardly have the energy to walk up the stairs.

A good nights sleep and l should be golden in the morning.
