Anyone ever had food poisoning?

When you suddenly have to choose to let vomit or shiz hit the floor because they are both coming right NOW!
You might have food poisoning

Just now woke up from this....hit me last night and like everyone said, I seriously thought I was going to die. Was so dehydrated I couldn't stand on my own 2 feet and was cramping all over. I will never in my life eat at Juicys in Longview ever again. I'm still very week and dehydrated. If it wasn't for my wife, I don't know what I would have done. Worst thing I've ever felt

Got it this past summer from Taco Cabana. One of the worst 24 hours of my life.

Had it once. I was crapping and vomiting at the same time. You can barely muster the strength to move.

My girlfriend (now wife), was over taking care of me. We were both laying in bed together watching tv. I had to fart, and I thought I could sneak it out. Bad idea. I had to promptly tell her to leave the room immediately. I had to strip the sheets off the bed and burn them.

It was bad.

Yes twice
VOMMITING X1000
SCREAMING Squirts
I was sick 4 days before I went to ER the last time and I spent 5 days in hospital Not Fun

Funny this came up. Been sick since last night at 11.

[Bayouboy]

If so, what were the symptoms and how long did it last?

Skowers and extreme back-blast. About sums it up. Too much team hot lips may also have that affect on ya. But, it is well worth it!

I've had it once and was miserable. My symptoms (diarrhea, vomiting, sweats, dizziness, etc...) lasted ~12 hours.

This but longer. I would have all 7 of my knee surgeries over again before I would want that again. Absolute misery!

Some things to understand about food poisoning.



Most people blame it on the last thing they ate. That is seldom the case.



There is bacterial, viral, and toxicogenic (bacterial toxin).



If all your symptoms are upper GI like nausea and vomiting, that is toxicogenic and most likely the last thing you ate. If there is diarrhea you have to look back at least 12 hours, but more like 18-24 hours to figure out the cause. Some on-set times can be as long as 3 days.



Symptoms can be as short as 24 hours like in Norovirus (stomach flu, stomach bug, etc) or as long as 3 months (Hepatitis A)

Great info. And yes with bad cases it's usually something from the day before.

Got it once from a eating a bad sandwich from a gas station. Pretty much ended up being about 24 hours for me. Same as others above, coming out both ends. A very miserable 24 hours that I almost wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

I also know someone that got sick from bad sour cream on a baked potato. They where down like 4 days and ended up having to go to the hospital on day #2. I believe she had a parasite of some sort. Not cool at all. Glad I asked for fries that night...
