sorry to hear you have food poisoning, hope you will be better soon . Try some fresh Ginger grated into warm water and strained its great for poorly tummies. I won't touch takaway food except fish and chips cooked in hot fat in my sight and I haven't had those for years.
The last time I remember having food poisoning was January 1977 on the day I married. We took our witnesses out for a meal, I had prawns and was terribly ill that night .

Turns out, beans can be deadly if not cooked well. Something to do with the toxin lectin.

I got home the next day just in time!!!And a few years ago I had the gastroenteritis that had me eventually admitted to hospital. I was ill at home for over 2 weeks before my GP would do something. Whether that was food poisoning I am not sure, but when the hospital put me on antibiotics, and I’d pleaded with my GP all that time for some, to no avail, I began to feel better.
It’s a horrible experience, having food poisoning. The stomach pains, for one.
Hope you feel better soon, Minx.

I have only started digesting my food after 2 weeks of it coming back on me.
Will not go into the gory details.
Doc says it may well be something to do with my diabetes.
Gave nearly a armful of blood yesterday morning for various test's.

Turned out they were defrosting chicken by running it under the hot water tap! Not a good idea.
I do hope you feel better soon.
Me too, Tabby.
Never felt so ill in me life.
The Doc confirmed it after test results.

Minx, didn't your doctor send a sample away for testing before he disgnosed???
Take it easy, and I hope you're on the mend again soon.

Re: Food poisoning
I guess the doctor was being cautious. Diarrhoea is a less common symptom of covid. A friend had it but he also had hallucinations and a high fever.I hope you are feeling better Minx. I last had food poisoning courtesy of a Premier inn salad back in 2002. I think I was diagnosed with norovirus. I also had it a couple of times in the 80s. Once from pork chops when I didn't really know how to cook. It's really horrible. You have my sympathies.
Black tea with no sugar and toast is the best x

Re: Food poisoning
I hope you are feeling better Minx, getting anything wrong with you while Covid is doing the rounds can make it very difficult to get a proper diagnosis over the phone, and even harder to get the treatment that you need.Prawns are Foxy's nemesis, they have the same effect as Green Kryptonite has on Superman. It took me several bouts of crippling illness before it became apparent it was the prawns that done it....I can eat every other type of seafood, including shrimps and scampy, so it's quite a mystery why it's just prawns that my body rejects....
