I ate raw chocolate chip cookie dough last night and about an hour later I had diahrrea (I know too much info) and now today I don't feel so good-I have stomach cramps and I sometimes feel as though I may need to throw up or something-did I make myself sick??? If I am sick...what should I do??? go to the doctor??? wait it out??? HELP! Thanks!

Salmonella takes longer than an hour to affect you. You have a stomach bug. If you're really nervous, go see your doctor.
And Katherine is an idiot. Dough is a raw food. It has RAW eggs in it. And you can get salmonella from unwashed fruits and veggies as well and improperly handled meat.

Did you make the cookie dough yourself, or was it one of those you buy in the store that's already made? If it was a store one, then it's not likely to give you salmonella. If you made it yourself, then it's possible you got salmonella from the raw eggs in the dough. Don't let yourself get dehydrated, right now that's your biggest concern. I would go to the ER, better to be safe than sorry.
I'm sorry someone called you stupid, that's mean and I think most of us, myself included, are guilty of eating raw cookie dough.

Sounds like you might have Somanila food poisoning from the raw egg use in cookie dough. I wouldn't worry too much, it is not deadly and will pass with time.
Sucks but it will pass. If things do get a lot worse, see a Dr.

When you are sick, you see a doctor! Why ask? And you did make yourself sick. Cookie dough is for baking. A small amount is fine unless it's been out too long and spoils. That's what's probably wrong with you. How stupid can you be?

i would just take it easy on the couch for a while. lay down and drink some tea(sit up to drink it though. it could be pretty messy if u tried to drink sitting down). it does kinda sound like salmanella, but idk. im not a doctor so my diagnosis will probably be wrong. drink lots and lots of water though. diahrrea can cause u to become dehydrated. calll the local hospital, and tell them ur symptoms. theyll probably give u some tips on how to make it stop or maybe make u come in if they think its serious. either way, ull get the help ull need.
GOOD LUCK AND FEEL BETTER!!

Its possible to get food poisoning, you are eating raw eggs. Also it depends on how much you ate. Chocolate is a natural diuretic, that would explain the diarrhea. But if it doesn't go away, call the doctor.

i highley doubt it. salmenella is more common in sushi. it is probably food poisining or another common stomach bug. i would sugest that you wait it out and if you get worse in any or all of the symtoms or you get another symtom then i would say see a doctor. i am sorry, but i used to know a remedy that would clean the toxic fluid out of you, the bad part is it cleans it out by making you throw up, the good thing is it always works and you usually feel alot better in the next day. get well soon.

I doubt you have salmonella, but you probably ate to much of the raw dough, I eat it all the time and nothing happened to me, unless I ate to much of it.

You probably ate too much or the cookie dough was old.

Getting to a doctor is a good idea. You can try pepto bismol and see if that helps any. Drink fluids and if you do vomit, that would be a good thing. You would be purging yourself of whatever is causing the problem.
