Everytime I get sick and puke,it's usually in the middle of the night at least 4 hours after I eat. Is that normal for food poisoning? Or is this something else?

it can be within the first hour to 24 hours
and by the way you can't taste food poisoning or smell it or even see it! so the only way you can find out is if you actually get sick from it!

Normally, about 6 hours after I took the latest meal before all the puking and diarrhoea started. And yes, like you, I started to get sick in the middle of the night. At least for the past 3 times I had food poisoning, they all started in the middle of the night.

Heres some information for different kinds of food poisening: It can be as little as an 20mins an hour to 48 hours, but it usually is:
Ptomaine - about 8 hours.
Salmonella - about 1/2 hour.
Botulism - about 4 hours.

You usually feel it within hours of eating the bad food. I've had it twice, once in Kuwait in 140 degree temperatures. It's horrible, but it usually passes in a several hours. Just make sure that you stay hydrated. TRUST ME, it makes all the difference!

Anywhere from as soon as you eat it to a few hours afterwards... Depends on what you ate and how yucky it was. Sometimes it can just occur from the cook not washing their hands properly...

depends on type of food poisoning, and the bacteria involved
here is a list of all types of bacteria, symptoms, and how soon you will get sick depending on which type of food poisoning you get.

Yeh i get it all the time, once u get it its really likely u get it again and again. Drink lots of water even if u keep puking it out keep drinking and make sure u put a sachet of oral rehydration salts in like diarolyte they really really help if u cant get hold of them just mix equal amounts of salt and sugar in water and keep
fOrcing urself to drink loads of water.
tc!
