Food poisoning or sickness bug?

[Canyoudigityesyoucan]

Went to dinner last Tuesday with friends and almost 24 hours later I started feeling very sick and by about 7pm on Wednesday was being sick on the hour, every hour. Ended up essentially emptying my stomach and had a bit of diarrhoea. Not nice, quite traumatic (mild emetaphobe) but felt much better by Friday morning.

Over weekend I’ve felt fine- eaten and drunk as normal although smaller portions as I’ve not felt super hungry.

Woke up at 1am this morning to more horrendous nausea and sickness. Again being sick every hour, feeling anxious, shaky and hot.

Stopped being sick at 9am. Have been sipping water on and off all day with some flat Diet Coke, but have now just spent last hour vomiting up all my fluids.

I feel terribly dehydrated but nothing staying down. I can’t understand how if I do have a bug it “paused” itself for over 72 hours over weekend and now has come back a second time? Feel rotten and so exhausted being sick with broken sleep.

Any ideas on ways to keep down water or if I should be worried about a bug coming back again??

DS had campylobacter from undercooked chicken. It was on and off for a week

Could be appendicitis. I had exactly the same, thought it was food poisoning, ignored it for a week then had the same as you, shaking, chills, couldn’t keep anything down. Ended up in hospital for a fortnight with sepsis. Please go to your GP or speak to 111 urgently.

Contact your GP because genuine food poisoning is a notifiable disease and Public Health will follow it up.
Also it can make you very ill - I had salmonella which affected my liver after the usual diarrhoea etc, I felt like death and was off work for weeks.

Whatever it is, get some advice.
