To wonder if this was food poisoning

Last night I had a meal out with a group of friends. Went to an Indian restaurant that I haven't been to for years. For my starter I ate seek kebab (lamb). I had eaten almost all of it whilst drinking and chatting and didn't notice that some of it was completely raw. Not just a bit pink but not cooked through. I immediately told the waiter and he agreed and apologised and said there would be no charge. Fine.
About 30 - 40 minutes later when I had nearly finished the main course I went to the toilet and unexpectedly had sudden diarrhoea. No cramps or feeling ill. But I was paranoid and didn't finish my meal.
Could this have had anything to do with the raw lamb so quickly? I discreetly told the waiter and they told me to contact them today and let them know how I was. I had a further episode last night and am OK today but my stomach feels tender.

The only way you will know for sure is to have a fecal sample tested, apart from that, you can only speculate.

A quick google says symptoms can start as soon as 30 mins after so yes quite possibly

I can't be bothered to get a sample. Probably too late now anyway as it's stopped!
I do feel mildly unwell and tired now though.
