I was feeling great this morning, then ate Taco Bell at lunch. Two hours later I began getting chills, aches, and I feel kind of weak. My head hurts a little too, but I don't feel sick to my stomach or have diarrhea, etc. Is it just a coincidence I would get these flu like symptoms after eating there? The food tasted fine.
I guess I'll just wait and see if I start getting sick.

No, it's not food poisoning. Chills, aches, fatigue, and headaches are associated with the flu. Start drinking fluids and keep track of your temperature.

When I got food poisoning it wasn't until about 12 hours after I had eaten. When a person has food poisoning you will have diarrhea and be vomiting at the same time, and there is no mistaking it. There's nothing else like it. The food I ate tasted fine too, so you can't go by that. It sounds to me as though you're coming down with the flu, and I really hope you feel better soon. All the best!

Flu carries with a fever of about 103 for the first two or three days, chills, aches in joints /legs, general bad feeling all overin my experience, and no vomiting or nausea. Stomach virus ( called flu by many) starts with nausea vomiting and progesses to diarrea and not feeling too bad between vomiting. Food poisoning can take hours to days to manifest and in my case involved two days of vomiting/diarrea, may incude stomach pain.

True food poisioning usually begins within 30-45 minutes of eating the infected food. The entire GI tract is involved. You would be sitting on the toilet with a bucket in front of you for about 4-6 hours. You should call your doctor or have someone do it for you it is very easy to get dehydrated he may call in something so you stop throwing up or send you to the hospital. Also, report the incident to the poision center in your area. Especially with the influx of e-coli and restaurants.

once you seem at spoiled nutrition it is continually tainted in a million of two concepts: a million. it is loaded with micro organism that get a non everlasting foothold on your body - many times the bowels/intestines 2. it is loaded with through-products that the micro organism produce even as they boost fortuitously on your nutrition and those secreted through-products will make you ill regularly time is the component it is the end off. If it is about 12 hours or so in the previous you observe indicators (free bowels regularly) it is many times with the aid of a group of overseas micro organism invading your bowels and attempting to bypass in. regardless of each and everything there is loads of food for them to %. up in there. although, a number of the time your human being organic flowers (the micro organism it is already living there and under no circumstances making you ill) will crowd out the newcomers and your bowels bypass lower back to popular. With nutrition poisoning with the aid of byproducts that the micro organism secrete, you'll many times fall ill in some hours, and many times you'd be vomiting. In both case you're dropping various of fluids and could go with to stay hydrated. you're also dropping various of food. BRAT diets are good for this - Bananas Applesauce Rice Toast. they have a tendency to be tolerated through your body even as no longer a lot else is. in case you've had indicators for this lengthy bypass see a doctor - even as your record would inform you that the worst is over and also you only go with to grant it time, you should in all likelihood have some thing else occurring. it is attainable that your nausea and the diarrhea are indirectly on the concern of the Thai nutrition. So see a doctor (extraordinarily in the experience that your mom jointly with her initially same indicators is recuperating and also you at the on the spot are not) and locate a clean eating position!

in my experiance, chills dont happen with foodpoisoning until after i've been vommiting for half a day or more, and headaches dont come until after vommiting starts. you probably have the stomach flue; but you should see a doctor regardless.
addendum::
usualy after eating bad food your body will know within an hour, and start showing symptoms.

I THINK food poisioning shows up quicker and more severe than the flu. Just be watchful.
