Is this normal after a bug/food poisoning

[Haphazardhacker]

I was struck down by something last Friday night, intense nausea and diarrhoea.
Sunday I managed to eat something and had a noisy gut but then Monday morning bam explosive yellow diarrhoea. Stayed at home from work. Ate a small breakfast lunch and dinner and again noisy gut but felt otherwise ok, then Tuesday morning more diarrhoea. Went to work and had small meals again, all afternoon felt gassy and lots of trapped wind. Farted out the wind by dinner time and had a small meal. Just been woken by searing pain from wind and now have explosive yellow diarrhoea again.

Is this normal? How long until I can not eat without pain and then diarrhoea. Or is something still wrong?

Maybe speak to s pharmacist to see if you can get anything OTC. I think probiotics might help. If it continues you might have to see a Dr and do a stool sample.

I would try not eating anything for 24 hours, only drinking.

Thanks. I’ve ordered some pro biotics as guessing my system is completely messed up. Today the first solid food was this evening, just had a milkshake for breakfast and lunch so will see how I go.

I would avoid work too.
They say 48 hours since last bout.

Thing is it's literally only once a day first thing in the morning. Then I can go all day. If I was back and forth to the loo all day then yes I would stay off, I would get a lot of heat from my employer for doing so however.
