Your symptoms sound like food poisoning . An examinationa and proper history would help greatly. (it is stomach flu (i.e. gastrointestinal influenza), if you have muscle pain in the shoulders and/or neck etc. The most common causes of food poisoning are caused by either of two nasty bacteria Salmonella or Campylobacter. It could also be a virus called rotavirus (but less often so). Thease tyopes of food poinig, although very distressing and nasty usually are not grave unless you are very old or very young or immunocompromised. Nevertheless get over to th local hospital emergency room, and get yourself thoroughly checked. Ask them to write you a medical excuse for your employer. I don't think that that your employers want the rest of their employees to catch your malady. Food poisoning usually resolves after 3 sometimes 4 days. If not, I.v. antibiotics will be used (usually a tetracycline, like minocycline, doxycycline etc.)
Hope you feel better soon.
Doc. Dan.

I would possibly stay home and get plenty of rest .Sounds like you have the flu. If you go out youc ould give it to others. I am no doc but the flu can be nasty and if thats it you should call into work. I wouldleave the alka seltzer alone.

First, you should have lemonade juice to subside diarrhea. If you feel ache in your body also, that mean you have got cold. You have to rest in bed, drink Guava and lemonade juice to stop diarrhea. If symtoms persisted for all the day long, you have to see a doctor.
I whish you feel well soon.

Sounds like a touch of food poisoning. The only real thing to do is wait it out. Only eat and drink bland things. The best thing to do is stay home and rest.

it sounds like you have the flu, you should take 1-2 days off work and stay in bed drink lots of clear liquids and soft foods only if you keep them down and get some immodian for the diareaha and take tylenol for body aches and fever

if you keep feeling sick for another day or so, you should go to the doctor. it is important that you don't get dehydrated, so drink plenty of fluids (water or juice). also, if you can eat, it is good to have bananas, rice, apple sauce or toast.
you might not be able to go to work today if you are too sick. if you can handle it, try to go in, but it might be best for you to rest at home.

Wait it out, not much you can do. Possibly call off work if you can.
If it persists after a couple of days see a doctor, it might be food poisoning.
