Mild food poisoning and BF

DD is 11.5 mo and pretty much weaned but I'm still BF morning and night. I've got a bit of delhi belly (I shall spare you the details) and wondering if it's a good idea to feed tomorrow? Will I pass on antibodies or dehli belly or neither? Don't want her to be sick if I can help it.

All information suggests it is perfectly safe to breastfeed while having food poisoning, and can be as good a thing as any to pass antibodies with, the only key points I can find is beware dehydration because your milk supply will be effected quite easily so do try very hard to keep fluids up.
