Food poisoning.... grim

Guinness and Oyster festival years ago. I blame the oysters, despite nobody else getting sick. Absolute carnage and then several days blowing out both ends and lying in bed with cold sweats. Horrific.

You caught a bad pint.

Although 16/32/48 pints of Guinness over a festival (Clarinbridge/Galway?) along with xx dozens of oysters is a recipe for the squits.

Did you get the shift? :cool:
:D
 
I've had it. Wasn't that bad in the beginning but started off with ******** myself on the M1 and ditching my boxers in the service station toilets :o
 
Despite a post only 4 above yours saying that microbiologists claim that it's hard to know which week you ate possibly bad food, you seem to know the exact ingredient. Amazing.

It had a bit of an odd smell when I took the packaging off it. I was in two minds whether to eat it or not.

So don't put the boot in on me without knowing the full story eh? :rolleyes:
 
Went to see the doc.

Not food poisoning.

I have something called labyrinthitis. Inner ear infection. this is why I am still feeling like I am on a boat in a storm and can't keep food down.

well I never.

It's still not enough to *know* unequivocally that it was that.

I was going to post that I've found most of the time when people think they have food poisoning, they don't.

Though that's partly based on people I know claiming to have food poisoning every time they've got the squits or have thrown up.
 
I believe it was from rice.

We had a take away on Monday night. Some of the rice was left over and I had it for dinner on Tuesday. Done this plenty of times before.

Never, ever, eat or reheat rice thats been lying around for a while. Bin it. Its a classic and its potentially very serious.

Having said that the one time I had it was from a pork joint from a butcher's shop. Jesus that was 48 hours of hell. :(

He's since clarified that it wasn't from rice, as he hasn't got food poisoning.

Additionally, as has been posted above, food poisoning can take a while to set in.

I often leave rice to cool down in the pan before either reheating for a fried rice dish, or putting in the fridge.

Not that I recommend doing it, but I feel like the risks over rice are quite exaggerated.
 
when it comes out both ends at the same time then you know you are in for a rough time.

Had that once before, and it was AWFUL. It was also the first time I was visiting my fiancé's aunt and uncle... all over their bathroom. ALL OVER.

Only other time I've had proper food poisoning has been after eating a dodgy burger from a van outside Rock City in Nottingham at the end of a gig.

I woke up the next morning with cold sweats and my head spinning.

Made it to the bedroom doorway and projectile vomited across the hall and into the bannister. Thankfully there were towels hanging there, so they stopped most of it, but some shot straight over and went all down the far wall where the stairs are.

After that happened, I staggered to the toilet and began violently upheaving everything in my guts, over and over again, until my innards and throat were ragged.

So I thought I'd best get some water. Stuck my head under the tap and began gulping it down, then immediately puking it back up.

It got to the point where I couldn't breathe, because the load of water in my stomach was being pushed back out with such spastic contractions of my gut and diaphragm that it was messing with my ability to breathe in rhythm -- and the water was flying out both my mouth AND nose.

I really did have a moment of total panic. "I'm going to die here."

Needless to say... no more dodgy van burgers.
 
I think I may have had food poisoning once (or it was a very bad stomach bug)
Went to bed feeling alright then woke up in the night with cold sweats, diarrhea and sickness constantly for about 2 hours. At one point literally sat on the toilet whilst being sick. Going from boiling hot to freezing cold consonantly in bed. I guess this is how the body works to kills the virus.

The next day I got up and almost fainted as I got out of bed so a day off work as I couldn't move. No more being sick or fizzy gravy but still going hot and cold and couldn't eat anything. Managed to eat toast and banana at night.

Following day though I was suddenly much better and went to work.

The human body is excellent at times. It obviously was trying to kill the virus, by first getting rid of all food and water in me, then had a go at cooking or freezing it whilst I physically couldn't eat any more - then managed food, had a sleep and all was well again!

I think it was un-cooked (or slightly under-cooked) chicken I had that I masked with a sauce of some kind

My food recommendations for when you are very ill, to the point of not being able to eat and chewing something for 10 minutes only to find its now like trying to swallow a rock - Banana, sticky rice, toast. Lots of water

I was very ill in Thailand years ago and didn't eat properly all week. I recovered on bananas, rice and water

I had food poisoning from 4 day old chicken that had been left out in the sun and people had been helping themselves picking bits off and eating it etc. Me and three others taking it in turn to use the toilet. Bend over toilet, vomit, turn around sit, ****, turn around vomit, turn around, ****. etc etc. Pretty funny. Felt fine the next day though.
 
Some funny stories :D I'll add mine...

So I took my usual food to work, at lunch time I noticed there were two yogurts in my locker, odd? so I picked the one I thought I brought today and snacked it down. Later I realised it had been there a few days and warmed up and down with the summers day atleast 3 or 4 times.

Worst feeling week I've ever had in my life, on the way to work the next day the projectile vomit began just as I managed to dive off a bus with the driver cursing me as we were far from the next stop, I had everyone on the bus watch and comment pretty loudly as I sprouted chutes of nastyness atleast 5ft away from my body. I still cringe thinking about it lol!

When sick comes out your nose as well its an awful feeling.
