Treatment involves measures to avoid dehydration. Drink plenty of water and electrolyte solutions to replace lost salt and minerals.
Avoid dairy products during the illness. Eat bland foods such as bananas, apples, and unbuttered toast. Babies should continue to be breastfed and given electrolyte solutions.
Those suffering from stomach cramps may get relief from taking an antispasmodic medicine. Anti-diarrhoea medications are generally not given because they may prolong the infection.
People taking diuretic medication should ask their doctor whether to keep taking them while they have diarrhoea. In some cases they may need to be stopped during the acute phase of the illness.
People who are unable to keep anything down due to nausea may need medication to stop them vomiting, and require intravenous feeding in some cases.
Prevention
Most cases of food poisoning can be prevented by using hygienic food handling practises and ensuring food is cooked thoroughly.

it depend on how bad the food poisoning reaction is.
first, you can always try drinking milk. milk neutralize. and then to stop the diarrhea, you can drink drinks-that-contain-ion-and/or-minerals.
