I have always had an "iron" stomach. Over the last year, however, I have frequent (i.e.- once or twice per month) stomach aches. Sometimes these are accompanied by diarrhea. Only occasionally do I have vomiting symptoms. I assumed the flu or a virus and set an appointment with the doctor, when it happened twice in two weeks -- along with my children being sick. The doctor said it was most likely a mild case of food poisoning.
I've had food poisoning before. If this was it, it was definitely "mild" comparatively. It is hard for me to believe I'm getting food poisoning so frequently, though. I do eat a lot of microwaved lunches, at work (i.e.- leftovers heated up). I've been doing that for years, though.
I read up on food illnesses, and there is usually an 8 hour or 12 hour gestation period for many viral and bacterial problems. I am pretty conscious of what I eat, too. I make sure I heat things up very well. Finally, I pitch refrigerated leftovers after 3-4 days. Help?
