Basically, I went out to eat on Saturday night and I had some meat dish(chilli con carne) and I feel abit sick since... first it was nothing big but now I have a headache and feel like sick... not thrown up or anything though. Do you think it it could of been because of this? Or do you think it is something else?

its probably something else, you would have had a serious dose of the galloping trots the next day had you been poisoned.

Yes it could be food poisoning, and yes it could be something else. With the minimal history you have given this is the best answer. Classically you would have expected diarrhoea with food poisoning. Stay off all solids, take clear fluids and no diary. If you don't settle see your GP.

it won't be food poisoning, as it normally affects you about 6 to 8 hours after eating and if it was food poisoning you would be violently sick and have major diarrhoea, it doesn't come on slowly it just strikes you down within 8 hours after eating food, so you must just have some sort of bug.

No, not food poisoning. Food poisoning happens with in a couple of hours of eating the bad food. You just have a headache and are nauseous? Probably a simple virus.

any dishes that include meat are notorious for food poisoning and your symtoms are consistant with this I would get checked out with your gp if I was you to be on the safe side as this could turn nasty.

If it was food poisoning, it would have happened about an hour after you ate.
Probably just coming down with the flu bug or something.

Food poisoning shows up within 4 hours. What you have is NOT food poisoning. You're probably pregnant. Everyone else on here seems to be ... or thinks they are ...

Hi!
No, it's something else.
If you had food poisoning, you'd know it !!!
Food poisoning is horrendous!
I hope you're soon feeling better, though!!
