We ate a pizza, yes one of the recalled ones. Now we are sitting here in dread, just waiting. What can we do?

Question

I called my internist - they said there's nothing we can do but wait. This is awful. Any suggestions for thwarting E Coli after ingestion? I drink cranberry juice, and started taking my probiotics this morning again. Help?!?

I have Sjogren's which is an auto-immune disease...

It was cooked hot (450 degrees), and burned a little - but that's no guarantee. We each ate 3 pieces.

E Coli takes about 3-9 days to hit you, so I'm just waiting... here we are, mr and missus good people, eating atkins food, exercising etcetera. The time we dare to take a detour into frozen pizza land (to clean out our freezer we wanted to defrost...), BAM. Busted. You wake up in the morning and find out your dalliance has cost you, greatly. Is this what John Lennon meant by "instant karma's going to get you"????

Why are these things (cranberry and probiotics) useless? I mean, what do you base that response on?

Answer 1

Your chances of having a problem is minimal unless you
a) undercooked the pizza and
b) have a compromised immune system.

If you have diabetes or AIDS, etc., then you need to make sure that you're treating that disorder appropriately.

Cranberry juice and "probiotics" are useless.

Answer 2

Just sit there and wait, and if you do get sick or something else bad that happens, know the next time, not to eat the pizza if it was one of the recalled pizzas. It seems to me that Home Run Inn is a safe pizza to eat, I have never heard of any recalls on them, or at lot of places. If you are in the Chicago area, you can look them in a store. Or go on-line to http://www.homeruninn.com/frozen/ , and you can order some there. Or almost any forzen pizza would do, as long as it wasn't recalled.

Answer 3

hmmm good I'm rather fussy approximately cheese - I hate it when you consider that it tastes such a lot like butter and I HATE butter, so I do simplest consume cheese if it is on a pizza, but it surely cannot simply be any pizza, it needs to be from a do away with ( rapid meals) situation, and at any time when I consume some other pizza I get it made up and not using a cheese. :)

Answer 4

Since you have Sjorgen forget the internist go to a locol emergency clinic. Tell them about the pizza and disease hopefully they will do something about it.
