I ate at a buffet-style restaurant for lunch today. I ate a normal size meal....1 plate with normal serving sizes, 1 lemon square for dessert.... I didn't eat much at all. About an hour after we got home I started feeling sick. It is 10 hours later and I still feel sick. I am lightheaded, Cramp stomach ache, No appetite and if I do eat anything I feel like im going to puke. Food poisoning?

Have you been vomiting and have diarrhea? V&D is the first sign of food poisoning.If not , it is possible something just did not sit right on your stmach

When I took my food handler's class the guy said that anything like this is a food borne illness. So when you think you have the "24 hour flu" you really have a food borne illness. That being said, there are lots of causes, from bacteria that was passed on through dirty hands (you ate someone elses poop) and could be mild or very severe. That is one way to get e coli. Another thing that sometimes happens is botulism. Although that is from food, it is much rarer, and much more deadly. Botulism is a bacteria that causes your muscles to freeze. Unless you get the antidote fast enough you would die of suffocation. But that sounds nothing like what you have, and botulism is killed by heat. So, you probably will be fine. Just stay near a potty, just in case.

You could have picked up something from it. True food poisoning....and I don't mean to sound too gross here....but it comes out at both ends --- happened to my ex and me from bad pork years ago --- we ate about 6 and both woke up at exactly the same time (around 2 a.m.) and hit both bathrooms.....it was pure hell. I think you can get different symptoms depending on the type of bacteria though so it is possible. Then again.....it could also be you coming down with something. Ask others who may have eaten the same thing.....call the restaurant and see if anyone else has become ill. Not that they'll be honest for liability reasons but you can try...........

Normal serving sizes for who? A 110 lb girl or a 150 lb girl! Big difference. Probably why one stays 110 and the other is a blimp. Meanwhile.. ANY stomach unsettling after a meal can point to botulism (any degree of food poisoning) . Have a turkey sandwich or a salad for lunch. Try some fruit. PS did you bid on a camera earlier on eBay?? A cannon?

Sounds like it. I had this happen years ago at a buffet restaurant. Man, it was hell. A lot of those places keep food out in warming trays and it's a breeding ground for bacteria. Try pepto bismol, or ginger all (ginger helps settle the stomach). If you don't get better soon you may need to call your doctor for advice or help.

Its food poisoning if you feel like you're gonna DIE! It's VIOLENT! So you might just have a bug, or could have eaten something that didn't sit well. If it's poisoning, you'd know it. Can't keep a half swallow of water down for at least 12 hours.
Fever, weaker than a kitten, worthless, sweating, dizzy, and there's no nausea honey. It's projectile!

A very mild case, or at the very least, something did not agree with you.
I don't like buffets for this reason. I think it is hard to control the temperature of the food, and if it's not eaten fast enough, it sits there with bacteria multiplying.

Might be food poisoning...
If you ate after around 10 PM then it might be just indigestion due to the fact that your body can't digest lots of food during the night because your body is shut down due to sleep.
Try an anti-acid pill.

Could have a touch of food poisoning. I had it once when I was younger, and I remember having very sharp pains in my stomach and then I puked.
