What does food poisoning feel like?

Question

What are the symptoms?

Answer 1

Typical symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramping, and diarrhea that come on suddenly (within 48 hours) of consuming a contaminated food or drink. Depending on the contaminant, fever and chills, bloody stools, dehydration, and nervous system damage may follow.

Answer 2

It really all depends on the person. Any symptom commonly associated with "the flu" can be a symptom of food poisoning. This would include stomach cramping, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, fever, headache, and dizziness. In most cases, it will run its course in a few days. If you throw up or poop out blood, you should see a doctor immediately. If you faint or have a very high fever (over 103), you should also see your doctor right away. See a doctor if you do not begin to feel better in 48-72 hours. In most cases, some rest and maybe a few over-the-counter medications will do the trick.

Answer 3

Symptoms of food poisoning depend on the type of contaminant and the amount eaten. The symptoms can develop rapidly, within 30 minutes, or slowly, worsening over days to weeks. Most of the common contaminants cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramping. Usually food poisoning is not serious, and the illness runs its course in 24-48 hours.

Answer 5

You have to barf and move your bowls at the same time. I generally do the sit down first, then go outside so I can throw up while lying on a yard cushion in some comfort rather than hugging the toilet. Once you have dry heaved a few times you will feel better. Its just an easy way for your body to get rid of the poison which has many different names. Don't bother going to the doctors or the emergency room unless its a real poison, they will just hand you a barf bag.

Answer 6

Food poisoning is horrible. Some symptoms include bloody stool, vomiting, cramps, the runs, aches throughout the body.
It usually kicks in about 12 hours after you eat said food. Go see your doctor if symptoms last more than 8-12 hrs after the first signs of sickness. Good luck

Answer 7

It usually starts off with flu like symptoms, real achy and sore and lethargic. After that you might have a few bouts of vomiting but it is mostly diarrhea that would fit through the eye of a needle. Not pleasant at all. Stomach cramps and nausea, usually accompanied by the feeling that you will actually die from what you have (which you can). I've had campylobacter three times and it is very different from just having a bit of the runs.

Answer 8

Usually with food poisoning, someone will vomit uncontrollably, not just once, and they may even have diarrhea as well. You might have just had an upset stomach before you ate, and eating in general caused you to vomit, not actual bacteria from the food you ate. Victims of food poisoning usually vomit relatively soon after eating.
