Hi I'm so sorry for posting this in AIBU but I'm hoping more people will see. Just seen an article about a specific hummus from Sainsbury's being recalled for containing e coli bacteria. My DD (2.5) ate it Thursday evening and has quite severe diarreah at the moment. Really panicking, any tips? She's never had a poorly tummy before

Hi so yes she has pretty severe diarreah, has cried about stomach ache all day. No vomiting right now and yes she had the exact batch that has been recalled. The large classic hummus with a sell by date of 15/09

I would contact nhs direct get her seen if they think there is an issue say about the hummus. I don't know where you are but do you have a walk in centre.

In fact I'd ring them either way, you can't be too careful with something like e coli

Hi OP,

Are you absolutely sure she had the particular hummus that is being recalled and subject to the Do Not Eat warning? I'd check this to be 100% sure and if she did, make sure she drinks a lot and I personally would get her seen, this is likely going to lead to a bigger outbreak that will need to be monitored. I suspect othet supermarkets will be affected too, so worth watching how this unfolds.

If she isn't getting better ring 111 and tell them you think she could have eaten this contaminated hummus, they will probably want to get her in somewhere for testing as it can cause some nasty side effects.

It’s severe diarrhoea and awful stomach pain.

What’s the diarrhoea like?
