To think cream could cause quick onset food poisoning

So I ate cream with a crepe in a restaurant about 3 hours ago. I’m currently on the bus home and started feeling a bit off with stomach cramps help! Can’t think of a much worse place than a bus when feeling sick. It tasted a bit sour but then I thought maybe it’s the strawberries, so I did eat some of it. AIBU to think you could be sick from cream (if it was gone off) this soon?!

It’s more likely to be norovirus, OP. It comes on really suddenly, from both ends 🤢

That happened to me once, I ate a meal that contained cream, by the evening I was so ill with D&V.

Yes, could be Staph toxin which likes to hide in dairy and the toxin acts in a few hours. Sorry OP, hope you feel better soon

I was ill from cream once.

I had severe d the second I arrived home. Really bad stomach cramps. The cream had a sour sharp taste and that’s not what it should be right? I rarely eat it so I guessed something was up but wasn’t 100 percent.
