FOOD POISIONING

OMG...I think I have food poisioning!!!!!!!!!!! Not to be gross but since I ate last night at like 11 (we went out) I have thrown up about 7 times. I have awful cramps in my upper and lower stomach and of course the 'the other.' It doesnt feel like a normal bout of the stomach flu, this is real bad. Has anyone ever had this before? Should I go to the hospital? Should I just wait it out?? I cant stand throwing up again and I am sooooooooo thirsty!!

HELP MEEEEEEEE

They can do nothing for this, I hope you feel better. Its a darn shame, it has to run its course. if that's what it is. B/c you are barfing so much they usually only say to drink liquids or that thing that babies usually drink when they are dehydrated, I cannot think of it right now, but ask on the parenting board, I am sure they will know.

The one time I had it pasted in 20-24 hours. It is rough, I know. I agree call you Dr's leave a message with his service and tell them you wanted to be called back then go if he says to.


Feel better!

I was thinking she was talking about Pedialite also.

I hope you feel better soon

You can also drink gatorade

Oh No, hope you feel better!

I feel for you!
I had food poisoning a while back, you never forget it.
Do not drink gatorade. It has a lot of salt and no potassium.
My Dr. says Pedialite.
I have a very sensitive digestive track and thats what he tells me to drink in that kind of situation.
hope you are feeling better soon.

I ate at the outback in Bayside. I had one lobster tail amd steak. Never again!!!!!!!!

If you do have really bad food poisioning, do GO TO THE HOSPITAL (if you have insurance), because you will need fluids via IV...when I had food poisioning, I couldn't keep any liquids downs, no gateraide, nothing....and I started to black out on the bathroom floor because I was so sick.

If it's that bad, you really should go, and they can give you a shot to make you stop throwing up, and stop 'the other end' also.

Please keep us informed.

Hope you feel better I can't believe it was Outback in Bay Terrace I will never go there again after hearing about this. I would call them and tell them.

how are you feeling???

Well I am still alive although I feel like I am dead, been through the ringer! My stmach still hurts and my back from all the throwing up is horrible!!!!!! I cant lay down, I cant sit up! I just cant take it. As of now, I am drinking gatorade cause I am soooo thirsty! But its starting to give me cramps so I may no stop that as well.

Never again...I think I will be ruined for life!!!!!! No more outback and no more lobster!!!!!!!!!

Hope you feel better, sounds horible

Noreen,

If you are drinking the gatorade and it is bothering you then have small sips every 15 minutes to rehydrate yourself until you stop vomitting.

I had a mild case of food poisening a few years ago. Definatly pedalite (my friends even drink it after a hard night of drinking) its much better then gatorade. Gatorade is good for replacing electrolytes but pedalite doesnt have all those sugars and sweetners gatorade has. Definatly drink the pedalite. You dont want to get dehydrated.

Try and put something in your system. Maybe a dry cracker, handful of cheerios, saltines, something.

Call your doctor as well. He will give you good advice as well. Just like Shamma said it has to run its course. It really Sucks, but it has to run its course out of your system.

Feel better
