Is this food poisoning?

[TeachA]

Ordered a mixed meat biryani as a treat to myself last night because DH was away and the babies were in bed. 20 minutes later, I had some stomach pain but that was it. Through the night, it got worse but I was able to drink a cuppa this morning.

Then about half 1 this afternoon, I drank some squash but vomited soon after and felt better. But the pain started to get worse again and I vomited again about 2 hours later, this time with chills and sweats. Nothing to come up this time (sorry TMI). now I just have intense stomach cramps and I’m lying in bed. Nothing from the other end (again, sorry).

Does food poisoning happen like this? How do I treat it?

It could be but it's very hard to tell for sure.
It may be worth calling 111 , but in the meantime I'd not eat or drink anything for the rest of the day except tiny sips of water or sucking a ice cube if you get thirsty.

If you still can't keep anything down after 12 hrs of no food then you need to get a appointment at the docs.
Obviously if your symptoms get worse then seek help sooner.

Don't take anything designed to stop vomiting, it's your body's way of getting rid of toxic stuff , you don't want it to stay in your stomach.

Thanks. I have been able to get some rest this afternoon, no more sickness, and keep down sips of water but I’ve just woken up and vomited everywhere again. So that’s all the liquid I’d successfully kept down, back up.
Back to sipping again to try to replace some.
I haven’t eaten in 24 hours so I may ring 111 in the morning if I’m still rough. I’m more worried about getting dehydrated now tbh.

I had a bug on Friday. Really sick for 24 hours, achy, hot and cold. I feel now as if I have a chest infection. Wondering if it’s a type of Covid. I’ve heard of sickness bugs going around. Hope you feel better soon.
