Food poisoning...it sucks..
2/15/2012 8:08:41 PM
Ate some raw baby carrots straight from the bag yesterday at lunch...then I noticed the cloudy water in the bag and thought nothing of it...until 8:30pm last night. 
I'm never far from the lavatory and I feel like warm death...
Just thought I'd share my misery with my local ARFCOM friends.

Thanks.
I'm good on the meclizine, definately helping the nausea...holding off on the Immodium or similar just in case this is "c. diff".

Dude that sounds awful, and way worse than I've got it. I do get the hot sweats and I can hold down liquids if I sip them slow.

Got it real bad once on a road trip to Colorado. Hardees chicken sandwich. I don't ever want to throw up that hard again.

Ive had it from baby carrots too. I never knew there was so much water inside the human body until it came out of my ass for hours.

Things seem to be settling down this AM. I'm gonna try to go to work.
I'm not "right" or "normal" yet, but well enough to occupy a chair in my office and try to get some work done. If I relapse, I can come back home.
Wish me luck.

Good Luck - Immodium AD should hopefully help!

Good luck.

I made it though the day...but was only marginally useful.
Sill feeling the intestinal cramps, but I'm able to eat and drink in small metered doses.
I hope my recovery stays on this good trajectory.
Thanks to all the well wishers.

I always knew you were full of it, but I never would've guessed it to be water.

Back home today (Friday)...I'm going to visit the ER in a little bit...
2/17/2012 3:55:17 PM
Yikes! My wife and I usually always eat baby carrots straight from the bag.
2/17/2012 3:58:03 PM
furry carrots never did anyone any good...

ER Doctor was great, kind and sympathetic. She covered the usual possibilities (virus, IBS, etc.).
However, they could only confirm what I already knew, drink lots of water, follow up with my GP if the problem persists, or go to the ER again if there is blood or I start suffering from dehydration.
I am feeling better this afternoon, so maybe, just maybe, I'm almost through with this crud.

I usually always rinse my carrots.
But not this one time...

I always thought eating vegetables was bad for you.

Still have some lingering symptoms today, but I'm back to 90%+, so I'm going to work.
Thanks for the support MN ARFCOM.

This might be the last post in the saga.
I made it through the day today! I actually felt better as the day went on.
Yes!

Bacteria
Bacteria is a common cause of foodborne illness. In the United Kingdom during 2000 the individual bacteria involved were as follows: Campylobacter jejuni 77.3%, Salmonella 20.9%, Escherichia coli O157:H7 1.4%, and all others less than 0.1%.[3] In the past, bacterial infections were thought to be more prevalent because few places had the capability to test for norovirus and no active surveillance was being done for this particular agent. Toxins for bacterial infections are delayed because the bacteria need time to multiply. They are usually not seen symptoms until 12–72 hours or more after eating contaminated food.
Most common bacterial foodborne pathogens are:
Campylobacter jejuni which can lead to secondary Guillain–Barré syndrome and periodontitis[4]
Clostridium perfringens, the "cafeteria germ"[5]
Salmonella spp. – its S. typhimurium infection is caused by consumption of eggs or poultry that are not adequately cooked or by other interactive human-animal pathogens[6][7]
Salmonella
Escherichia coli O157:H7 enterohemorrhagic (EHEC) which can cause hemolytic-uremic syndrome
Please remember the bold part before you assume what gave you the illness (not you OP, yours is obvious). I had a guy complain that he got food poisoning at my work the day after Christmas. He had a burger, no complaints. An hour later he was blowing it out both ends. Of course his illness was the result of the burger I sold him... not the shrimp cocktail that was left out all day next to the green bean casserole that spent 8 hours in the trunk of aunt Betty's car on Christmas the day before. Nope, it was the burger of course. Even though no one else got sick.

My experience is the same thing, 12-24 hours. Though it's hard to tell sometimes what you ate that made you sick, or if it's from something unrelated.
Few years back I had something similar. Started with the shits and slowly moved upwards. I did eventually go to the urgent care and they gave me a few bags of fluid. My experience is to take as much time off as possible and rehydrate. Resuming work and daily life seemed to prolong it, and I swear it took a week to get over.
