Food poisoning - I'm miserable

[doadeer]

I ate a bad meal last night I've been awake since 4am with sickness and diorrhea. I can't keep anything down at all. I feel so dehydrated, I'm so thirsty but every time I have water or the rehydration satches it comes back up.
I have chronic back pain and that's flared so badly I can't sleep because of the pain.

I'm trying to have little bit of ice as I'm just so thirsty. Is there anything else I can do? I'm miserable.

Tiny sips of flat lemonade or ginger ale every 15 mins. Set a timer.

And see a doctor! The back ache could be a bad UTI or a kidney stone.

Hope you recover soon

Keep drinking even if you vomit. Try Seven Up if you can get some. A GP told me it has electrolytes. If you can’t get that flat Coke might help. Sucking ice is a good idea.
I’m afraid it’s just time to l

Are you sure it’s food poisoning? Norovirus ripped through our house last week and I think there’s quite a bit going round at the moment. Absolutely miserable - I ended up sucking ice cubes all day as I wasn’t even keeping sips of water down. The good thing is it didn’t last long - 24 hours of non stop vomiting, a couple of days of feeling wiped out and then back to normal. Good luck - hope it soon passes.

Aargh wretched keyboard’s playing up. I’m afraid it’s just a matter of time to let it take its course. If you get worse, pass out, or get really concerned call 111 for advice. Hope you feel better soon.

Have sips of water, not a mouthful, as it stays down better.

How are you now OP? Could be Noro. I hope you few better ASAP. Agree sips of water better than a glass.

Little sips as often as you can manage. I found very diluted juice good when I had Noro as it felt like I was getting at least some sugar or something in me. Sympathies, it's miserable.

Full sugar coke and let it go flat.... then take tiny sips.

And boil your drinking water.... again taking tiny sips.

You need to leave your stomach completely empty to let it recover.

I've ended up in a&e. Haven't weed in 14 hrs and I have severe dehydration. I'm on a drip. Still being sick until 10 mins ago.

Jesus 😩

Oh no op. That's miserable for you. Have they given you an injection in the bum to stop the vomiting? If not, ask them why?

Oh you poor thing! I hope they can have you feeling better soon

In the Bum?!

It's gone in via the drip.

I sipped some coke and the whole thing came up before into a bed pan and I pulled my iv out by accident.

This is the first time I've been able to look at my screen. Thank God I came in!

Oh poor you
Do they know what it is? Presume they’ve done bloods. I am so sorry you’re going through this.

I really feel for you OP. Happened to me when I was a very fit and healthy 20 year old and I felt so ill I thought surely I will die (and I am not an exaggerator about illness). You will start to feel better with the IV drip. All the best.

I'm on a second bag of fluid. They need me to pee it's been 14 hrs since I've been.

Bloods are fine.

Just a nasty bacteria I think!

Crikey it's mad how horrific you can feel

I would be ringing the restaurant as soon as you leave. In fact, should they be reported to public health?

Hope ur ok OP , I had this last summer and it was awful! Stay strong and god bless you :)
