Okay so, Friday night, I went to the fresh slice pizza on granview hwy. ordered 3 slices of "all meats" pizza . A few hours later after midnight, I started heating up to what was a small fever. Over the past few days up till today I've been experiencing vomiting, diarrhea. Lost about 5-10lbs water weight I'm guessing. Finally able to have the strength to go to th doctors today. It was not killing me so I did not go to the hospital. What can I do at this point to bring my health back up? Everything I eat/ drink has been coming out, and I've missed 3 days of work. What should I do?

3 days you better go to the hospital, you are probably severely dehydrated and can do some damage to yourself if it continues

[FS1992EG]

I've had food poisoning twice in the last 4 years and it sucks monkey balls. Each time it lasted at least a week. When you vomit and have diarrhea, its getting rid of the bacterica that's in your system. I know it probably going to feel like your going to die or death would be better than feeling this way. Drink water, eat whatever you can and sleep as much as possible. Sleep under the covers and keep your body temperature up. Having your body temp higher will fight your illness faster.

so taking a nice warm-hot bath would be good?

[SkinnyPupp]

Do NOT increase your body temperature when you have a fever

[will068]

Take immodium.

If you can actually get up and do it. Remember, having food poisoning makes you extremely weak.

[doritos]

Yea it feels like I'm dying. I had nobody to help me, finally feel better today to get out of bed, I can't afford to lose another day of work, almost a week off :(. Are there certain foods I can eat only or no? Hard to control my bowels (sorry to ruin your breakfasts) I am assuming its food poisoning because its been a few years since I have been sick and all of a sudden after eating pizza it felt like a mild fever, stomach cramps for a few hours and dizziness until I went to the washroom to puke/ dump it all out.

Right after I took a hot shower it felt good but I started to heat up super fast in bed it was so bad. Sucks to be alone in this world no help!

I went through something like this before. Anything I ate or drank would just come back up, including water. I just didn't eat or drink for 3 days to avoid puking. Around the 3rd or 4th day I had to eat or drink SOMETHING, so I drank some gatorade and water. Couple days later I felt well enough to leave the house. In hindsight, I probably did everything wrong, but I had no idea what was going on or how to recover from it.

[doritos]

I asked pharmacist and he just said he highly would not recommend taking any medication because my body wants to clean all the contamination out of the body right now instead of preventing it.

Is this food poisoning, or a case of the norwalk virus?

[doritos]

I thought it was the Norwalk virus , they have similar symptoms, in my case I'm guessing food poisoning since the fever lasted only a few hours right after I ate the pizza. The first few days were just dizziness, puking/diarrhea or no puking at all, cramps in my right abdomen felt like something bursted but It was my indigestion.

I had food poisoning over the past 2 days.

Went to bed around 2AM Sunday morning. Woke up with intense fever and feeling to vomit. Pretty much passed out on and off throughout the whole day like someone was killing me.

Woke up around 2AM Monday, and finally puked everything out. Non-stop diarrhea. God, the feeling that you had, I can relate. It is probably the worst feeling ever. Non-stop sweating, fever, cramps, etc.

Finally stopped around mid-afternoon on Monday. I too must've lost like 5 pounds in water weight.

The key is to drink things like Gatorade to stay hydrated. Or you can make your own homemade concoction with a recipe online. I forgot what it was, but all it requires is a little bit of salt and sugar mixed in with water.

And my first recovery meal was pho. Tasted so good.

[dinosaur]

Until you are back to health...

avoid:
-dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc)
-spicy foods
-meats
-greasy foods (fast food, take-out, etc)
-vegetables that can cause gas and bloating (broccoli, etc)

What you should be ingesting:
-broth-type soups
-toast
-crackers
-LOTS of water or liquids like gatorade and powerade. You should really drink a product called gastrolyte but Ill warn you that it taste pretty horrible
-bananas and other soft fruit

Try to eat small amounts every couple hours to build your strength back up. You NEED to drink as many liquids as possible. You may be still feeling terrible because you are very dehydrated. If you still can not keep anything down you will NEED to go to the ER. You can call a non-emergency line and have an ambulance take you. The ER can give you an anti-spastic drug to stop puking and gravol to settle the nausea. The can also give you an IV is it is required....that alone, will make you feel better.

[melloman]

@Doritos: Should've gone to the hospital. :facepalm:

I've had something similar where it turned out to be stomach flu. It was going around my whole family but I got the brunt of it and was uncontrollably throwing up every few minutes and having diarrhea. After waiting 3 hours at ER, I finally got a bed and was given 3L of fluid (IV), 1 nausea IV and 1 for a migrain I was having.

Just cause you think your fine, sometimes it's not the case.

[Phil@rise]

You need to replenish your minerals and fluids. You also need to stay cool for your body to be able to fight off whats ailing it. When you go to the hospital with a fever they dont bundle you up all comfy with hot water bottles and nice fuzzy blankets. They open the windows take away all warm fuzzy blankets and chill you to help control your internal temp. This sucks trust me I know but you must do it. Pay heed to dino's food advise.

[Prolowtone]

^ True. I thought i was fine the last time i was sick.....

[inv4zn]

Revscene, M.D. :drunk:

OP, if you live alone, do consider just calling 911 if it lasts more than a day. Yes it's a hassle and yes you'll wait there for 400 years without anyone looking at you, but you'll be under supervision of experts.

[Razor Ramon HG]

Some people recommend the BRAT diet at times like this - bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast

But just simple congee works as good IMO. I think what you will really be graving is something sweet. At least for me that was the case. Unfortunately, too much sugar can dehydrate the body as well.

[doritos]

going to doctors soon and picking up a pack of gatorade, are there specific foods to gain my weight back quickly?. I want to eat my favorite foods so bad its been 3-4 days. :rukidding:

[bcrdukes]

I got food poisoning here in Los Angeles by drinking water out of a fountain. I had to replenish by drinking Gatorade and did the BRAT diet.

+1 on gatorade, fill up on electrolytes. had food poisoning before that left me with a fever, shakes, and aches...it sucks...

from the sounds of it...you must be pooped :pokerface:

[Razor Ramon HG]

Just eat regularly, and drink a shit ton of water. Your weight will go back to its normal levels.

[blum2001]

I feel for you man. I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago after a Vegas trip. 4-5 of us got food poisoning eating at the mexican restaurant in the miracle mile. Luckily we didn't get sick while on the plane but I missed 4 days of work. Either way you have a lot of good advice here so I'd follow it, just stay hydrated. It really sucks having to decide if you're going to sit on the toilet or pray to it and what's worse at the moment LOL.

[Razor Ramon HG]

And oh yeah, when you shit this much.. baby wipes are your best friend. Any sort of wipes is better for your starfish than even the best brand of toilet paper.

[van_city23]

food poisoning is a bitch, I've had it once every 2 years for the last few years. Don't drink gatorade on its own, water it down a bit because it could be hard on your stomach if it's still the early stages. Then start with bananas. The memories of sitting on a toilet with a bucket in my lap vomiting... I feel for u man. Another thing, every time it happened to me, about 2 or 3 days later I would wake up drenched in sweat and from that morning on, i would be fine.

[Valour]

Home remedy for me was a tsp baking soda and lots of water. The baking soda kills bacteria in ur stomache . Just remember diarrhea is weakness leaving your body lol

worst that ever happened to me, shitting, puking at the same time lol. didn't know that was ever possible. can't even wipe my ass anymore because it stings like a bitch

[604STIG]

DON'T EAT ANY FOOD!!!
Drink liquids and lots of them. ie. Gatorade, water, 7-up, etc...
It's been a couple of days, you can have some broth also some jello (not pudding)
DO NOT DRINK ANY DAIRY.

[AW607]

A couple years ago I had some BBQ pork from the food court in aberdeen. Went home, started feeling really dizzy and feverish and eventually vomited for a good couple minutes. I tried to walk to my couch but I stumbled halfway through :badpokerface: It lasted for a couple hours, but my appetite went to the shitter; all I could take was water without vomiting again. Feels bad man :okay: Food poisoning sucks

[GLOW]

And oh yeah, when you shit this much.. baby wipes are your best friend. Any sort of wipes is better for your starfish than even the best brand of toilet paper.

better not flush the baby wipes or you'll plug your toilet :lawl:

the splash damage of puke and diarrhea in the same bowl at once :heckno: :troll:

so are you saying you're not wiping your ass after you take a nasty shit? :suspicious: :badpokerface:

in all seriousness hope you feel better man.

[whatheshiet]

I had food poisoning last week. The first day i vomited and had to go washroom about 15 times. I then took some immodium and drank alot of gatorade/powerade. I felt alot better the second day. Drinking gatorade or any sports drink help replace electolytes. Also I ate a pickle now and then to reduce nausea for abit.

[Lomac]

To be honest, I'd be more inclined to believe that it's the flu rather than food poisoning. The Norovirus is going around right now and has affected quite a few people I know, and the symptoms are pretty much on par with what you say you have.

Even with food poisoning, though, if it lasts for more than a day, you should get yourself checked into the hospital or at least make a trip to a doctor/walk-in clinic asap. Food poisoning can be quite dangerous, especially if it's caused by something like e.coli. A friend of mine almost died a few years ago from it.

[Phil@rise]

Baby wipes all the ass burnin way!! I gots a baby and man I'll never be without baby wipes even after a night of spicy food they are TP of the gods!

[daica-viet]

wow it seems everyone getting sick recently i got over mine 2 weeks ago had the same symtoms as u within 5-6 i was able to eat again. Big assist to me was to drink gatorade

[GFunk]

You should only be drinking a sip of water every 5 minutes or so until your stomach can at least hold that. By drinking a large amount at a time, all you're going to so is shit it right back out.

And like van_city23 said, gatorade would be good for you but dilute it a little to start.

[XplicitLuder]

think my cousin got it today lol i get a call from his friend saying he's puking badly at school. he had KFc for lunch so something musta gone wrong. now he's in the ER cus his parents took him there.

Dunno if ive had anything like this..

cept one time i had some kind of attack while i was driving to go pick up my gf from PNE. on the way there i started shaking badly and sweating, stomach was gurgling bad and bad cramps. felt like puking as i "gagged" a good 7 times. just barely made it to the PNE and pulled over while i waited. Was still madly shaking (as if i had hypothermia) and felt sick to my gut. Finally after an hour wait (i told gf i cant drive in this condition) i had enough strength to drive back to her house and stayed on her couch for the next hour and a half still shaking and having diarrhea (no not on the couch -_- ) but eventually took some bepto which seemed to help a lot

[TopsyCrett]

Same thing happened to me a few months ago. Ate meat lovers from Panago - Woke up in the middle of the night vomiting and it wouldn't stop. Every time I ate something it would come out, so I just ate vitamins. Went to a walk in clinic and the doctor said it might be salmonella poisoning - Prescribed me pills for the salmonella and gave me a shot of Gravol in my lower back. Felt MUCH better.

[hungryRR]

I guess I got lucky. No diarrhea for me.

I was feeling better after 24 hrs but I had the chills, aches, nausea, upset stomach, fever, and the feeling you get when you want to vomit.

I drank gatorade, rubbed in some type of chinese remedy oil that targetted muscle/joint pains and kept to eating small meals until I was fully recovered.

At first I thought I had food poisoning too so I asked around and no one else was sick except me.

Hope you feel better soon!

[nns]

Posted via RS Mobile

If your body is like mine, it'll keep going through diarrhea even after getting past all other symptoms of food poisoning. I.E., I'd get food poisoning, go through all the symptoms, get over it, but still have diarrhea even though everything else was normal. Immodium is what stops the diarrhea. I'd personally recommend Immodium Advanced. It's a bigger tablet, but it worked when regular Immodium didn't work for me the last time I had food poisoning.

Again, you should seriously consider taking Immodium. Especially if you lift weights. You want to get back to eating and getting back all that muscle and gains you lost.

Oh, BTW, if you drink Gatorade/Powerade, don't be surprised if your shit is green or blue or whatever. It's from the sports drink. I google'd it the last time cause I was all "Wtf?".

[SkinnyPupp]

My worst food poisoning was in Japan, the morning I was to head back home. Had a convenience store hot dog for dinner that night, and I thought it was supposed to be green with herbs or something :badpokerface:

Puked in my hotel bathroom, puked in the lobby bathroom after checking out, puked in the bus bathroom on the way to the airport, puked at the airport bathroom after checking in, puked in the airplane after taking off...

Then I felt fine :thumbs:

Don't take immodium, it will only prolong the agony. Let your body flush out the nastiness it has to.

[noventa]

seriously? you went to the doctor after 3 whole days of feeling ill and then came on Revscene to ask for advice? Why didn't you come on Revscene earlier for help? Then you wouldn't have even needed to waste your money and time seeing your doctor.

where is that "I can't believe this shit" Jackie Chan pic when you need it?!@!

[Mr.Money]

Do NOT increase your body temperature when you have a fever

good way to have night terror's.......dreams enough to fuck you up waking up. happened when i kept the heat on MAX in the room....the feeling of complete insanity

[LiquidTurbo]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but how do you know it's from the pizza a few hours before? Don't these things happen from consumption of contaiminated food 24-48hours before you start the runs?

[dinosaur]

I don't think it was food poisoning....but 2 summers ago Gridlock and I got sick within 2 hours of each other. I started to feel ill and called to tell him. 2 hour later he come home saying he was sick too....then came vomiting and other fun stuff. Good thing we have 2 bathrooms because it was like the fucking Exorcist...all shame went out the door as we were both heaving and wrenching down the hall from one another. And, of course with both of us being sick, neither of us could make it to the store to buy supplies (gatorade, gravol, crackers, apple sauce, etc)....luckily we had become friends with one of our tenants and she went for us. Such a life saver!!

Nothing brings a couple together like vomiting and diarrhea in tandem! :fullofwin:

[dohboi]

Gatorade definitely works, takes time.

The secret to food poisoning is: Go to an all natural suppliments store.

Buy a bottle of capsulize charcoal pills, take a few pills and keep drinking gatorage.

Charcoal will absorb the poisonous bacteria and flush it out of your system. Your bowl movements will be dark while taking it, but it has worked like a miracle. Trust me, I get food poisoning all the time, and sometimes in the past hospitalized, but since I've got a bottle of charcoal with me when I travel, I've gotten over food poisoning in hours.

Thank me later

[jackal]

ok let me give some information here. this is info coming direct from coastal health. according to them food poisoning takes a MINIMUM of 12 hours for bacteria to develop in the body until you will feel symptoms. sometimes it can take as much as 48 hours. running a restaurant i get really annoyed if someone calls me a couple hours after having something at my place and then blames their sickness on what they ate from me when its MORE likely something that was eaten many many hours before.


op's sickness is almost absolutely NOT from fresh slice. op needs to look back the last couple day at what was eaten. maybe something more likely then a slice of pizza baked in a crazy hot oven clearly hot enough to kill all potential bacteria and then assumingly let to rest under some heat lamps that are to code. maybe op cooked some raw meat at home and had some bacteria transfer because op wasn't cooking with proper hygienic techniques.

12 hours is a general guideline, not a rule. My most recent bout was from roast goose, and it only took about 6-8 hours to kick in. And aforementioned hot dog in Japan was probably about 10 hours.

As for the pizza, it will have been fully cooked but who knows how long it was sitting around before he ate it? That's when food gets nasty bacteria on it... Cooking kills bacteria, but it will come back if not stored properly.

You can sometimes tell what caused the sickness because that's what your burps and puke smell and taste like while you are sick. Sounds gross I know, but as soon as that taste goes away, you will start to feel better. At least that's what I have observed

[jackal]

i don't think burp and puke are relevant to proper diagnosis as clearly your going to vomit what you last ate or what has yet to be properly digested. and as for what previously made you sick your blaming what you ate last but your completely ignoring what had been eaten in the past 48hrs unless you ate NOTHING for 2 days then ate that hot dog in japan.

and of course storing food is important. thats why i mentioned that more then likely they are storing their pizza in a heated location that will obviously have to meet coastal health rules. and obviously there is a chance it wasn't stored properly but i would look FIRST at the other things eaten over the past two days then to blame the last thing eaten.

I can vouch for this. Ate that the Mexican Restaurant in the Miracle Mile in Vegas at 3pm, we flew back from Bellingham and landed at 11pm, and by 5am the next day stuff was coming out of both ends badly. Was paralyzed on the sofa for 3 days.

i will also vouch for this. i graduated in the environmental health (public health inspector) program and this is what we were taught as well.

most food poisoning cases does NOT come from the last restaurant you ate at. for that to happen, there will have to be a SHIT TON of bacteria already in the food before ingestion to have that sort of immediate effect. most likely, it would have been caused by food you ate 2-3 days ago.

OP, as mentioned before, you need a lot of electrolytes to replenish the liquids you have lost. if you haven't already done so, definitely visit your family doctor. if it continues, i would definitely recommend you to go to the hospital.

what you can do is, and if you think it is fresh slice that caused this, call the health authority that the restaurant is under and make a complaint. they usually will follow up within 24-48 hours. they will do an inspection. IIRC, you can request them to call you back after an inspection to let you know the results. you might not be the only one experiencing this and if there are enough calls, it could warrant an investigation and your help would be greatly appreciated by the PHI.

[SkinnyPupp]

i don't think burp and puke are relevant to proper diagnosis as clearly your going to vomit what you last ate or what has yet to be properly digested.
You're right, I wouldn't base a diagnosis on this, it is just an observation I have made just about each time. If you are still burping food that hasn't moved down in 12 hours, chances are something's not right down there... Then comes the puking
and as for what previously made you sick your blaming what you ate last but your completely ignoring what had been eaten in the past 48hrs unless you ate NOTHING for 2 days then ate that hot dog in japan.

Funny you should mention that, because that day I did pretty much eat nothing all day. I was on the train the whole time, and aside from a bun and protein shakes, the green hot dog was all I had. Next morning, I was burping green hot dog, then puking green hot dog... But maybe it's purely a coincidence because after all, you are educated in coastal health right?

[Geoc]

If you're going to stop by the pharmacy, check out Florastor (it's a capsule full of pro-biotic bacteria, that helps your intestines recover lost flora)

[jackal]

But maybe it's purely a coincidence because after all, you are educated in coastal health right?

lol really?

anyways i was directing my info at op who called out a restaurant at which he ate at only a couple hours before claiming to feel symptoms. and if your going to throw a company under the bus at least have some valid information that supports your argument.

as for your situation i could care less what your circumstances were, green hotdogs from japan are not relevant to op.

[rsx]

Hope everyone who is sick is better. I've had food poisoning and it's fucking terrible.

my friday night started around 4-5 when i ordered my pizza, my foods I eat 24-48hrs before I ate the pizzas were mash potatoes, brocoli, homemade french fries, brown rice. I ate the same foods for almost an entire month, and when it comes down to making my own food, I am ocd, I will make sure my food is nice and bacteria free before I eat.

Honestly if you go to that fresh slice location, thats about the dirtiest place i've seen, and usually, most of the other fresh slices are nice and clean.
The pizzas you know stay out in the open for who knows how long and then they take it, heat it up in the oven for 2mins for customers.

As for the ingredients? my friend ships out all that and hes told me stories of how they tape back up the bags where rats the size of squirrels chew through, give the pizza place a discount if they want to purchase opened products.

"A few hours later after midnight, I started heating up to what was a small fever"

I ate the pizza around 4-6, it does not take up to a complete 10-12 hr window for bacteria to grow, everything else can come into play during that time. The fever lasted a few hours, no sniffles no nothing, just dizziness, puking, major aching pain in my stomach/intestines.

You could be right, or I know whats up and the rest of these other guys here that's been through it.:fullofwin:

I agree that he might not have had a substantial reason to blame that particular store, and while it still could have been the cause, he did jump to conclusions. On the other hand, we don't know what he ate or when he ate it, and it could very well be that pizza that caused him to get sick.

However just because you read it in a book, doesn't mean it isn't always the case. As I have pointed out, and many others could as well, there isn't a "rule" that bacteria follows before your body gets sick. 2 hours might be a bit much, but 8 or even 6 is still reasonable.

As for my situation, it doesn't directly relate to the OP, nor does your situation of people blaming your restaurant for making them sick. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but citing some 12-48 hour "rule" isn't going to help anyone.

If that's the case, you should definitely call the health authority complaining about the locations malpractice on food handling. You can also do everyone a public service by calling CFIA about where your friend works. Because shipping products like that won't do anyone good. It could also be very well what caused you to be sick. Needless to say, rodents carry a lot of bacteria/virus. What you have, OP, would be considered lucky compared to what other damages rodents can cause.

u need lots of water - the only dangerous part about food poisoning and stomach flu is losing so much water that u die. Don't eat. If you drink water and your body can't handle it and throws it up you should see a doctor as they need to IV your ass and possibly give you some meds

if you're able to hold down water, don't eat, just drink a shitload of it..from there make your way towards foods that keep your shit strong - soda crackers only. Next maneuver to non-spicy, non-caffeinated,non-fat, non-animal simple foods with one ingredient. Later on you should move to fruits and then meats and dairty should be last when you're all healed

[noventa]

eat some ice cream. must as well treat yourself!

[nns]

my friday night started around 4-5 when i ordered my pizza, my foods I eat 24-48hrs before I ate the pizzas were mash potatoes, brocoli, homemade french fries, brown rice. I ate the same foods for almost an entire month
If that's all you ate for 1 month, that's a lot of carbs.

THIS! If you knew this Fresh Slice is dirty as fuck, why would you even eat there?!! No offence, but if you're stupid enough to eat from a place where rodents are a major problem..then it's your own damn fault.

Anyways, hope you feel better though. I had major food poisoning in 2005 during a vacation and ended up in the ER. Couldn't eat for days except for water/gatorade-hydralite of the sorts and had to eat these antibiotics that made me feel like my body was running on slow-mo. This might even sound crazy (possible, since I was running on 0 food and high medication) but I literally could feel the blood flowing in my arms. After this whole mess..I promised myself to never get in that situation ever again. It happened maybe 2-3 times after that year (food poisoning free since 2011!! LOL)...but never to that extent. I seriously thought I was going to die.

[bcrdukes]

OP must be trolling.

Knows place is dirty. Still eats there.

:derp:

Just eat regularly, and drink a shit ton of water. Your weight will go back to its normal levels.

This.

I had some pretty bad bouts when I lived in Brazil, and water and rest took care of it.

[barqy]

prolly too late but do NOT drink gatorade as it contains way too much sugar. empty stomach + sugar = bad news bears (make you even more dehydrated d/t drawing water out of your gut)

unless you dilute the heck out of the gatorade, replenish your electrolytes with something like pedialyte (very low sugar content comparatively, but contains artificial sweeteners, but who cares at this point unless you have some sort of allergy).

electrolyte replacement and re-hydration (don't just drink water only) are priority in this situation...
good luck.

[SpeedStars]

^^ drink the alternative; Propel, it does the job of Gaorade minus the sugar and food dyes. Only ever had food poisoning once and the doc told me to drink gatorade...My vomit was red. So I had to resort to an alternative.

[iKayChow]

drink gatorade. cause with all the diarrhea and vomit will dehydrate you. (i got food poisoning from vegas dafuck:) had it for like 2 weeks too lulz. and thats what the doctor told me. just gotta wait it out. and drink like no tomorrow

[miss_crayon]

Pedialyte is for children. Hydralyte is the adult equivalent

sometimes we know certain foods can make us sick or kill us but we do keep eating them. I was hungry and feening for some pizza so i had to drop by there cause it was literally beside the road at the time:fullofwin:

[SkinnyPupp]

Yeah while I have eaten at some places almost certain it would make me sick... Then it ends up being the fancy seafood restaurant or whatever that actually does make you sick :okay:

[Obsideon]

I have a funny story, a few years back I was in Asia, made a trip through China and Japan, was eating the funkiest stuff (Raw Frog Sashimi, etc) and even people told me the street food in China could be dirty, I went at it anyway. The ONLY time I got really, really sick, was when I ate at Salzeria (it's the equivalent of a Denny's here) ... I had a pasta, wings and pizza ... :fulloffuck:

[Oleophobic]

After reading all these posts I'm starting to fear going to China later this year for vacation. Fuck the last thing I want to do is be puking all day and night and be bed-ridden. I'd much rather just have diarrhea because at least that's easier to handle and doesn't feel as bad.

With that said, I've never thrown up from bad food before. I've had stomach cramps and diarrhea and lethargy, but never actually thrown up. Is this a good thing or is my body just inefficient at expelling noxious substances from my body (ie. letting it pass through my intestines as opposed to getting rid of it ASAP)?

Just refrain from eating shady places and street food no matter how good it looks. I ate who knows what when i was in china that made me shit like 30 times in a night and vomit every few hours. Worst part is I went go-karting the next day when i thought i was a bit better. Biggest mistake ever. Oh and dont eat KFC like me the next day either.

Lets just say i learned quite a bit last time haha

Saizeria is the nastiest food you could possibly eat in Japan lol.. I'd be more surprised if you didn't get sick from eating there ;)

It's even more ghetto than Denny's in Canada

[ElantraGT]

ok let me give some information here. this is info coming direct from coastal health. according to them food poisoning takes a MINIMUM of 12 hours for bacteria to develop in the body until you will feel symptoms. sometimes it can take as much as 48 hours. running a restaurant i get really annoyed if someone calls me a couple hours after having something at my place and then blames their sickness on what they ate from me when its MORE likely something that was eaten many many hours before.

op's sickness is almost absolutely NOT from fresh slice. op needs to look back the last couple day at what was eaten. maybe something more likely then a slice of pizza baked in a crazy hot oven clearly hot enough to kill all potential bacteria and then assumingly let to rest under some heat lamps that are to code. maybe op cooked some raw meat at home and had some bacteria transfer because op wasn't cooking with proper hygienic techniques.Not always true. Food poisoning can be caused by viruses, bacteria, toxins, or parasites (among other things).

For bacteria it is true that you won't get symptoms until the bacteria has time to grow to sufficient amounts and on average it might take 12 or more hours, but it's definitely not a strict rule. Some strains and species grow fast, others do not. Some people will also show symptoms faster than others.

Viruses (most commonly norovirus) tend to be faster than bacteria in causing symptoms but again it varies based on the virus and also host response.

For toxins, some of them can cause symptoms within a few hours. Heat might kill the bacteria, but many toxins that the bacteria produce are heat stable and won't be broken down by high temperatures.

Basically, could there be another source for OP's food poisoning? Yes, but you can't rule out Fresh Slice.

LOL serious?... damn no wonder it was so cheap ... but I was drunk and it was like 4am ... :(

Yup that's what it's there for... That and poor families

Same goes for Royal Host, Jonathans, etc... all full of drunken partyers at night, poor families in the day :lawl:

Once you've stopped getting the runs or puking, take this thing called florastar or something. You can get it at your local pharmacist, it's bloody expensive but it will replenish all the good bacteria in your intestines. Also replenish on electrolytes, not that gatorade shit which is full of sugar. There are drinks mixes specifically made for ppl that have had the runs. Dehydration can kill.

This Christmas I got super sick, was running a super high fever on top of the runs, it got to a point where I was shitting out large amounts of blood for 2 days, almost fainted...I guess from loss of blood. I was taken in and hooked up on an IV. Go see a doctor.

Everytime I travel to India for work I take two things; Imodium and Gatorade. You're going to get the runs no matter how safe you upon arriving but it usually lasts a day or two, trick is when the first symptoms appear pop a Imodium and drink some Gatorade. Another key is eat light, nothing spicy and no milk products for the first few days and you should be fine. If you start munching on meat right when you land well good luck to you because you'll most likely be regretting it when your ass is on fire for the next few days. Meat, milk products and veggies you have to be careful with when traveling to countries like India and China.

:suspicious: that doesn't leave much does it? :lol

[J____]

when i used to get food poisoning when i was younger, I tried to keep things in and it would prolong the sickness. Now when i get it on occasion, I drink as much as i can to puke as much as i can to flush my system. After the first day my system is flushed and is like day and night. Not sure this is the BEST clinical remedy, but it works for me with little physical effect.

Curry, all day and all night lol.

But for me I usually start eating meat once my systems adjusted which is a few days into the trip.

Why not just take a teaspoon of ipecac?

Meat, milk products and veggies you have to be careful with when traveling to countries like India and China.I would be cautious about this and consult a doctor before you do it. Loperamide (Imodium) shouldn't be used for certain bacterial diarrhea, particularly ones that cause bloody stools, abdominal pain and/or fever. And not for children under 3 as well.

PLOS Medicine: Loperamide Therapy for Acute Diarrhea in Children: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (http://www.plosmedicine.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pmed.0040098)

World Gastroenterology Organisation practice guideline:
Loperamide is the agent of choice for adults (4–6 mg/day) — Should be used mostly for mild
to moderate traveller’s diarrhoea (without clinical signs of invasive diarrhoea). — Inhibits
intestinal peristalsis and has mild antisecretory properties. — Should be avoided in bloody or
suspected inflammatory diarrhoea (febrile patients). — Significant abdominal pain also
suggests inflammatory diarrhoea (this is a contraindication for loperamide use)(11)
