My weekend with food poisoning

[Alexx1401]

That's the most accurate description I've read about this

Had food poisoning a couple times in my life. It made me VERY careful. Wife now and then gets mad at some things I toss. I don't care. If I am not 100% sure of something it gets tossed.

Just don't be f-ing dead! Blockages go from painful to crash cart in a big hurry.

Yup.

Folks simply don't understand the complexities involved. Unfortunately.

Go to the ER means go to the ER. Usually turns out out non-complex, and a seemingly loong wait for "nothing".

However some times going in is EXTREMELY worthwhile, like has been recommended by his practitioner's. The risks simply do not merit a wait and see approach (as sometimes does work out fine). IMO.

The human body is pretty complex, and lots going on with the GI tract to try to keep things nice and orderly. Muscles, acids, enzymes, bacteria, feedback mechanisms, clearing toxins, taking in nutrients, electrolytes, water on & on & on…

After the crash. They didn't think we were gonna survive......these are the mild pics.....

This is effing terrible man. Thoughts are with you guys.

Well enough to be posting on NWFA? Bad @SS!

Grass is always greener. I would rather not be able to poop than be pooping too much . Don't envy the circumstances you're in, though. That's rougher than rough.

Secondary to the event of the OP, but I take meds that for extended travel, say over a week, this is an issue I have to plan out. In a month or so, I'll be in Europe. Time zones, planes, trains all sound nice, until your body thinks it's 2pm in Portland.

Not everyone is on US standards. Sometimes you get room temperature food and you don't notice, eh, until you've already sat down and been waited on. Of course, many things are 100% better, but getting sick overseas is best avoided. I still haven't figured out bidet toilets. Strong pass.

I'm feeling much better. Not perfect but about 70%. No longer nauseous and actually got a few hours of sleep in this morning. Still not on solid foods but getting there. Just in time to go back to work Monday

@BDA.45 how are things going for you?

I go out of cell service for a bit and all this drama happens, what are the odds? Glad it sounds like everyone is on the mend again.

I got food poisoning from some left over pasta years ago. It took me more than a year to want to eat pasta again, and that was fully knowing the hangup was psychosomatic. I would just have to think about eating pasta to start getting nauseous. It was a really rough few days. . .

That's why you gotta check in every day. Otherwise it's like starting a new season of your favorite show 6 episodes deep.

@BDA.45 When's the last time you had Taco Bell? A 12-pack of tacos fully sauced with a prune juice chaser oughtta get anything squeaky clean... don't forget a Gatorade, that kinda bowl-blasting will take a lot out of ya.

Since Thursday night, I've been having a rough go of it. Been over two days since I've slept, can't eat solid food and have evacuated my exhaust pipe so thoroughly, I may as well schedule a prostate exam. Called off work Friday and was hoping to be over it Friday night but here I am, still feeling like death. I've been sipping on broth and eating a saltine here and there, now waiting for Jello to set up so I can try eating something different. Oh and lots of sports drinks.

Do any of you guys have tips on getting over it? I don't want to see a doctor and pay a months mortgage just for them to sell me to wait it out. Figured by now I'd just get so tired I'd fall asleep anyway but the constant ache of hunger pains and feelings of nausea prevent any kind of rest.


Be wary of the cold deli chicken, people

Grape fruit seed extract is you're friend! Add 8-10 drops in a spoon with water and down it, get ready with a chaser cause it tastes like a French wh0res @ash0le but it works miracles!

There must be an interesting story behind this knowledge.

If by "interesting" you mean "he better provide barf bags, or I'm using his shirt... with him still IN IT."

Well you see, there was this one night in Bangkok. I'd just returned from playing ping pong in ding dang and needed to "unwind" in the French quarter.

 

[Diamondback]

And lemme guess, you didn't realize it was a trap until Too Late...

Bingo!

I'm doing ok. Still in a ton of pain but things are beginning to move slowly, if you know what I mean LOL. Got a couple IVs and more prescription meds the other day. They didn't have to cut me open again which is awesome. Oh, and apparently my "mild" pics I posted weren't mild enough and got removed. Sorry if they grossed anyone out.....
