Okay, a few nights ago my friends and I ordered some pizza and I had A LOT of it. I went to sleep and when I woke up I fealt like I had the flu. Shivers, dizziness, loss of appetite, etc. Worse yet, I had to go to the bathroom to go number 2 every 30 mins. It was basically diarrhea except it was pure liquid. Gross I know... This has really gotten me worried since it has been 1 full day and I'm still suffering from it. Do you think I have a stomach virus or something?

Farmer Girls answer is simplistic and incorrect. Eating pizza will not give you shivers, dizziness or loss of appetite. Did you eat the pizza while it was hot? If not, did you warm it up prior to eating it?
Bacteria grow on pizza as soon as it starts to cool down, generally you've got about 2-3 hours after delivery to enjoy your pizza before you have to nuke it or put in a toaster oven.
This bacteria can cause you to have the symptoms you describe above..they are very similar to the flu.
GI (gastrointestinal upset) occurs when bacteria enter the digestive tract and your body can't handle the toxin. Your body fights back by trying to expell the bad stuff any way it can. That's when you see the vomiting and diarrhea. Your body is ridding itself of the toxin, so it's really a bad idea to take drugs like Immodium.
What you ABSOLUTELY have to do is to keep fluids down. Drink water primarily, or go to the store and buy some Pedialyte (in the baby aisle)...they are the best things for you if you are throwing up.
If your vomiting / diarrhea persists or you get dizzy, see your doctor pronto. Make sure to have someone else drive you if possible. Don't put yourself in harms way by trying to drive to the doctor while you're so sick.

Is anyone else who ate the food suffering? Keep drinking fluids and keep checking your temperature. As long as you don't have a temp, I would try to eat something salty, like crackers. Maybe even some dry toast. I know they don't sound appetizing , but it will make you drink liquid. Your main goal is to stay hydrated. If you're not better in a day or two , I would seek medical treatment.

Something on that pizza was bad. Sounds like you just got a little stomach virus. Just drink alot of fluids so you won't get dehydrated and eat something light. It should pass in a day or so.

It could be one of many things. I say you wait it out for a couple of days and if it doesn't go away or get better within 72 hours, then I would go to the doctor.

It sounds like the flu or maybe you overate? Or it could be a slight case of food poisoning but if your friends are fine then that's unlikely.

Sounds like you are lactose intolerant. All that cheese didn't agree with you. Avoid so much milk and talk to a doctor if it doesn't go away.

It's hard to say......I would go to the doctors. I would drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Maybe even take something for it too.
